Because I've been here before...
If LJ would let me upload icons, I'd upload this one...

ETA: Status update: 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.
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.
We apologize for the inconvenience these problems have caused.

Hope they get sorted soon - I miss my friends!

Funny, isn't it? LJ might be wonky and have a bajillion issues, but it's still home.
I miss my friends too - esp being able to TALK to them. (My friends page loads now and again, but commenting is pretty much impossible.)
Right, let's see what happens when I press 'Post Comment'.

It's from Jan. 17th,2005 = kawaiimiaka-LJ-blackout4.png
= seems LJ user kawaiimiaka is now
*nods* I only knew to upload icons and "hotlink" them. I miss scrapbook to use *sigh*
(The icon I posted later, I don't know if sillykitty89 or nimori made it. Nobody answered my questions when I've tried. *s*
Hope LJ behaves now.

Thanks for the info re the icon (I like the 'I tried to be normal' one), and here's to hoping that LJ stays up!
no subject
Wow, so much has changed since then...

I'm not ever going to DW. I got an account there (via invite) when they were new. Had the damned thing for two to three years, never used it and find it (frankly) a very poor clone/substitute for LJ. It's going well...maybe...but it doesn't have half the features and it looks, well - 2D compared to ElJay. The comms there are pretty much the same ones here and not half as active. A friend of mine recently stated that posting fic there was like 'throwing the words into a black hole'. So...yeah. Staying here til they force me out!

Anyways, DW. I have an account, and I now and again import my LJ, because I like having a back-up. But as you say... it's like everything is 2D. (That's a brilliant illustration btw.) It's the same, just... less. OK, so there are less issues too (re. those who run it), but LJ is where I live. *buries self* ETA: Also, we're old enough to remember back when LJ was as shiny & idealistic as DW is now. No ads or anything like that. Who's to say where DW will end up 10 years down the line... /cynical AND nostalic

kawaiimiaka is indeed now sobloodycute

Sadly the icons are gone from the post.
sillykitty89's LJ is deleted and nimori is F-Only grr. No way to check.
I use Scrapbook, it easy. PB is a pain with the new log-in page.
*fingers crossed for LJ.
I've added Links to my DW icons to the "LJ" themed icons (here) and tried to find the entries in my memories and added them to LJL/6a memories if you want to take a look. They should be the last entries added but the oldest one there. They are not all but the once I've found today in my memories; I know
I really need more icons space here *gg* I guess we should get two more in February.
From here, Entry December 20th, 2012, 10:08 pm:
I haven't heard yet that they did but they but: "All paid accounts will be extended by a day sometime in the next couple weeks." Dec. 20th / Dec. 18.
Well that should make ah.. four now, huh?
Wonder if they do it (but when, they'll announce it, they wrote/said).
no subject
And yeah, Scrapbook is just wonderfully straightforward. PhotoBucket is... Well, I suppose I'd get used to it, but it's an extra thing to do, and it has a gazillion adverts on top of everything else.
Also thank you for the links - you have a lot a lot of icons! (All the Spuffy ones make me nostalgic...) I have 277 icon spaces on LJ and it's still not enough... *sigh*
Anyways, more paid time is always good, although more icon space would be better. <3
no subject
I only use PB with Firefox. No adds this way. My old IE doesn't like some of the adds and crashes so I try to avoid using it outside LJ etc.
I'd love more icon space - they never gave that out. Sadly (I really could use that *gg*).
And now I get varnish errors and time out errors. Great.....
no subject
And yeah - they could make a lot of money by selling more icon spaces. *wistful sigh*
I got varnish errors too! Hence not replying until now...
