LJ Issues

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

For those of you able to read this, you're lucky as there are major issues with Live Journal. It took me all day to get onto this site!  In lieu of these LJ  issues, an alternate section7mfu has been set up on Dreamwidth.  A lot of cousins are already there and everything from Section VII has been archived.  Today is the weekly drabble challenge "A Little Drabble do Ya" so sign in and contribute a few words on DW!  Once things are hopefully fixed with LJ, it's my understanding that we can crosspost simultaneously with DW and LJ.  

Just as an FYI, in case you haven't been able to access these, here are the warnings and announcements posted by Live Journal.

We apologize for the inconvenience these problems have caused.
LiveJournal is currently up, but you may encounter some problems while attempting to use the service. Specifically, some pages may load slowly, the site may not respond when trying to login, and attempting to post entries or comments may result in intermittent errors. For people using certain Internet Service Providers (ISPs), LiveJournal is completely unavailable. You can read more here.

For people using certain Internet Service Providers (ISPs), LiveJournal is completely unavailable.
While LiveJournal has experienced some issues with our servers which we have posted about earlier, these issues have been resolved. The current problems are being caused by a sharp increase in malicious traffic which began on December 31. The first wave of that traffic was targeted at profile pages. As a temporary response to this, we disabled profile pages to maintain availability of the rest of the service.
We have already un-blocked profile pages but at this time, but some people using ISPs which have contributed to the malicious traffic are still being blocked by our mitigation system. We understand that there are legitimate users affected by this; in order to allow these people to access the site, we are taking steps to make the list of blocked addresses more precise so no legitimate users are affected.
In case your ISP is being blocked, there are several ways you can try to access the site:

• The Opera browser has a Turbo mode which works like a proxy server; LiveJournal may be available through this feature in Opera;
• If have access to an alternate ISP, try connecting through that ISP;
• You can try using any proxy servers available to you so your request is routed through networks that are not being blocked. If you do this, we strongly suggest you only use the servers you trust; passing your username and password through an untrusted network (e.g. in order to log in) can result in your account being compromised.

Thank you. That was a nice thought, and very good of you to take so much time over it. More thanks for the tip off about dreamwidth.

Yes, you can set your DW account to post an entry in both places. It has to come from DW as being the newcomer and gaining a lot of its members from LJ they wrote it in from the beginning.

In account settings, the tab marked Other Sites is the place to do it.
