Stupid LJ.

Jun 27, 2007 12:00

Is anyone else having a million problems with LJ lately? It would take a lot - an awful lot - to get me to leave LJ, but I do feel like I'm being tested. I have to post comments and entries four, five or even more times to get them to stick, no matter how many times I click on the link to my inbox, that page won't load, sometimes my friends' page ( Read more... )

I've gotten a couple of errors today as well. I'm also not getting some of the comments emailed to me.

dzuunmod June 27 2007, 17:13:45 UTC

Yeah, comments aren't getting emailed. At least, not until hours after the fact, which for me at least, defeats some of the purpose of having them emailed at all. I mentioned that in the email I sent to LJ Support.

I should send them an email as well. I'm a paying customer and this kind of thing makes me angry. Only because it happens so often.

dzuunmod June 27 2007, 17:27:27 UTC

That's just it. If I was a free user, I'd have no complaints. But, I'm not and this stuff is happening way too much lately.

Yup. Annoying.

Well, according to their status updates, they're performing database maintenance today in order to fix the recent performance problems. This would explain the read-only mode.

it's probably your network or browser (or both)...

dzuunmod June 27 2007, 17:28:33 UTC

Hmm, I dunno. The past day or two, I've encountered the same problems whether I've been at home or at work.

dzuunmod June 27 2007, 17:29:22 UTC

Oh, and also, on my lunch hour, I passed someone on the street who I thought could have been you. I don't suppose you were on Mackay Street about an hour ago or so, were you? :p

Well, for what I pay them over the course of a year, it is kind of worth it to me. But it's tempting to abandon the paid account.

I mean this as an honest (and not a snarky) question: what are the benifits of paying for LJ?

bee_york June 27 2007, 19:05:52 UTC

Let me be more specific: what appeals to you about a paid account that you feel is worth spending money on?

dzuunmod June 27 2007, 19:33:21 UTC

Well, the most visible thing that I get from being a paid user is the a ridiculous number of userpics. But there's other stuff, too: photo storage space, voice posts (they have a phone # for Canada now, though I haven't used it). You can also customize the look of your journal a whole lot more as a paid user. I really, really like that being a paid user means I don't have to see ads anywhere on LJ.

The main reason though, is just that I use the service a whole lot, and I just want to support it.

bee_york June 27 2007, 21:50:09 UTC

If you have a basic account, then you don't have any ads either. :) Though I guess if you want to have a lot of user icons, that won't work, because you're only allowed 6. Though I always found 6 to be more than enough, and I almost never even use all 6...lol. I could never understand the obsession of having 20+ user icons....er, because, you know, LJ is all about me, apparently. ;P

Good point about wanting to support it though, never thought of that...:)
