I'm going to post something without coding the text color, just to see if a change I made with help from

muccamukk will do that.

Woo-hoo! It worked!

Make Sure the Email You Use for Dreamwidth's Confirmed

Here's a link to why that's probably going to be important for you, and how to do it. (I'm sure most of you have already done this, but just in case ....)

One More Reason to Quit LJ.
(But I Won't. Reluctantly.)

Dreamwidth folks let members know that, as of Feb. 1, they have turned off crossposting to Live Journal. My last successfully crossposted entry was on Jan. 17,. Every entry since has failed. And I'm so clos to done with LJ.

Dreamwidth folks took the time to explain the reasons here, and updating the situation here. In short, LJ refuses to respond to requests for white listing Dreamwidth's IP range, something LJ has done for years, but, according to Dreamwidth people, now claims it's never done.

Although most of you probably knew this before I did, just in case, here are links to the last two Dreamwidth Maintenance posts.

I think I have two people I want to stay in touch with who use LJ exclusively. One has ties, via family, to Russia, and their decision to stick solely with LJ is really understandable, even though I hope they will one day return to Dreamwidth. The other person is not all that active anymore, but I like keeping in touch with them, and I'm no longer nagging people about this.

LJ's shenanigans, especially since being purchased by the Russians, tire me out. Still, every time I've said I was going to quit, I've backed down. I've also considered going just to a basic plan, instead of the premium one I pay good money for.

In the meantime, I'm going to go back and manually post the month or so of my posts that haven't made it to LJ. Grumble.

I'm still way behind on reading folks' entries, either on Dreamwidth or LJ, so I'll ask here; what have you considered doing at this point?

Current Mood: pissed off
Current Location: On Dreamwidth. Oh, and in my home office
Current Music: The furnace. MMMmmm warmth....

Argh.

Since last night, my posts, which are normally set to automatically crosspost to LJ, have been failing. I, like an idiot, didn't read all the way to the end of the "your crosspost failed -" messages until just now. That's when I read the following:

Failed to crosspost entry to kaffyr@LiveJournal: Client error: Your IP address is temporarily banned for exceeding the login failure rate. --

Bwuh?

As I wrote to the nice volunteer folks at support/help, I haven't been failing to log in at all, since I normally just stay logged in. Checked with BB and no, our modem/router hasn't been acting up; there have been no mechanical nor software/virus problems. So, as I asked them rather more politely, what the actual fuck?

Anyone out there have the same problem?

*goes off, grumbling*

Not even sure if I should post this separately on LJ or not. It seems kind of silly.
