Small piece of blog housekeeping

[dolorosa_12]

This is just a quick post to say that I've found Livejournal to be very uncooperative recently. The way this is manifesting for me is deeply irritating: comments aren't displaying on my own blog, or on anyone else's when I view them with my style template. I can see that the comments are there, and I can see comments on other people's blogs when I'm logged out (and thus viewing the blogs in their own style), but not on my own blog under any circumstances.

This is, as you can imagine, extremely frustrating. I've noticed a few other pieces of weirdness with LJ recently: clicking on 'expand' doesn't actually expand comments, but rather takes you to the thread from the start, meaning you have to click back and forth between the post and any individual comment thread, and when you try to expand a cut in a post on your flist, it takes you to the post as a whole, again necessitating the same stupid clicking back and forth.

As a result, I can neither reply to comments on my own LJ nor post comments on other people's. I'm hoping LJ will eventually sort things out, but I'm not holding my breath. I wrote this post just to let people know what was going on. I'm not ignoring you, I swear!

But if you want to comment, Dreamwidth is probably your best bet. Or, you know, you could join Dreamwidth yourselves...

Posting here because commenting on LJ seems somewhat counterproductive!

That really does sound frustrating. I like your posts, so I'll try remembering to check DW more often.

It's extremely annoying! I crosspost everything, so they'll still show up on LJ, and you're obviously still free to comment on LJ. It just makes things more difficult at my end, and as it stands at the moment, I can't see any comments on my LJ blog at all, which is very frustrating.

Wow. That's crazy.

I can see comments, but I don't always get notifications, which is annoying.

Oh, how infuriating. It hasn't been doing that for me, but on the other hand Twitter has been hanging, not letting me post etc etc. There may be gremlins lose locally.

Ah! I have found, basically, the only way to get the comments to display! When I get email notifications of comments, I can click on the 'reply at the webpage' option and voila! the comments appear! It's a fairly clunky workaround, but at least I can respond to people.

And yes, it's extraordinarily infuriating, as is your Twitter problem. I hope it resolves itself soon for you.

Argh! And thank you!

A few months ago, I had issues with commenting on some people's journals. It eventually got fixed.
