We are scheduling a maintenance window for 12:00 P.M. PST today, November 3rd (Convert this to your time
here) to make additional changes to our cookie handling process. The changes being made are intended to address the following:
1) The issue which is causing some people to be logged out frequently should be fixed; once the change is live, you should be able to remain logged in.
2) Clients will be able to use cookies to authenticate with LiveJournal again. This should cause most clients/browser plugins which stopped working or lost some functionality last week to work again.
We do not expect there to be any downtime as a result of this maintenance.
[Edit] And we're done! Please
let us know if you're still having problems staying logged in.
