Yes, I'm pretty sure there's another denial of service attack going on. Right now, it seems to affect longer posts (i.e., long fanfics) the most, and earlier in the day, access through e-mail notifications or clicking on entries in my LJ inbox was impossible.
On March 29th there was a MASSIVE DDoS attach on Livejournal, they are still recovering from that. Yesterday, at about 5am PST there was a second one. Which, obviously, they have also not recovered from. There are announcements and information in their twitter, their news feed, on the main support page, and I believe their maintenance page. It'll probably also be in this weeks news email thing.
I've never had a problem with http://status.livejournal.org/ being down, even when the rest is. I get the feeling it may be hosted differently than the rest of it. You can also check http://downrightnow.com/livejournal it's generally the best source, and they often will give you information like it's a DDoS attack if they have it. Plus, the links on the righthand side will take you to places with other info (for example, twitter - you don't need an account to read someone else's feed if you have the direct link).
