from Dreamwidth, after changing my password on LJ like everyone was advising us to. I'm really not inclined to do a lot of manual copypasting just to keep crossposting--I hadn't intended to take this page down, just crosspost, but I guess LJ is forcing my hand.

That's the problem--I've changed it so many times that' I'm going nuts, but it never takes. I just did it manually and could post, but I'm starting to think it's because the new password I chose is being blocked. Considering who's in charge of LJ now, I shouldn't be surprised. I'm testing out yet another new password and another change to DW, we'll see how it goes. I'm sick of this. Fuck them for doing this.

Damn, what a pain in the ass. I've come across systems that can be kinda sticky about crosspost type things and require a change or two, but to only work with manual entry really muddies it up.

Hmmmm...I tried a couple test posts and they seemed to work. I wonder if there's a check box that's somehow automatically un-selecting or if the update and save didn't work properly. It sounds stupid, but I've come across sites where getting things like this to work properly can depend on which web browser you're using (like IE vs. Chrome), so maybe something like that?

Uh, yeah, my brain automatically reverts back to Tech Support Mode...Feel free to ignore.
