[chaos_genesis]

I actually had to complain about one of them, but otherwise I'm in agreement with this sentiment.

[airevac]

Same here.

I'm not sure calling it "a service issue that sprung up a couple days ago and was quickly resolved" adequately summarizes things. That sounds like the website was slow for twenty minutes, not like people might have been served up your locked entry.

[foot_faults]

yeah that's the kind of lingo you use when you're trying to bury/direct attention away from an issue.

not impressed LJ. :|

[ladyminya]

Seconding this.

[denisemedevac]

Me too. This is so sad.

They are blurry because they are stretched a pixel or two. I noticed this when I saw your request on the Support Board, and investigated. If you compare their size, you will see that the ones in the shop are smaller, but they are displayed a bit bigger anywhere else on the site. The devs have been informed, but I do not know if they will do something about it. I hope they will, because like you, I want the new witch userhead.

[wetdryvac]

This would be the perfect place to post about the major security issue LJ just ran into. Why isn't that news?

[foot_faults]

because it "had no effect on security", obviously. /sarcasm

[lafinjack]

Oh, were you looking for NEWS in news? There's your problem.

[ladyvox]

lolz... sad but true so funny.

[wetdryvac]

Here, let me help

[glowing_dragon]

Yeah, but it lasted a lot longer than 3 minutes!

[wetdryvac]

It most certainly did. The post I copy/pasted is here: http://lj-maintenance.livejournal.com/131843.html

And the comment thread to that post pretty clearly demonstrates that the problem exceeded three minutes for a number of people.

[glowing_dragon]

Definitely so, then! LJ seems like they're just being dismissive. Is that how business is done in Russia?!
