Man. Am I the only one having this problem?

Guys, I have not been able to log in all day.

Keep getting a message that the system is read-only. But -- but I've been getting that message for days! I try to log in, I get slapped down. I try again, pretty please, I'll be nice, I'll only say sweet things about fanfic and won't whine about pictures loading slowly, honest. I'll even be nice about the CAPSLOCK.

No, LJ says.

Sigh.

Jericho readers, stay tuned. Update is on its way.

If I can stay logged in.... grumblemumble...

If there's ever anything you really need to say and LJ craps out on you, you can always email me and I'll get the word out for you. ( :

Thank you, you're sweet. I doubt I'll ever have anything that important to say, but if I do I'll keep it in mind. :D

I got that message a lot about two weeks ago. If you click "refresh" several times, it'll stop being in read-only mode.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-01 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's been working for me until today.

*Heavy sigh.* I'm sick of this.

I got that message, too, several times during the last weeks.
But when I tried again or refreshed it worked mostly.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-01 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, today refreshing didn't work.

This started happening when the new company took over LJ. I've decided they suck.

Don't know what to think of the new company or if they have something to do with the problems.
But if they don't get a solution soon I can imagine that they get a lot of trouble with the LJ-user.

I've gotten the message once or twice in the last couple of weeks, but that's it. But then I didn't really lose my Memories like everyone else, either.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-01 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
My Memories were intact after LJ went down those two days, but I've been getting the message consistently. There was a period of about a week or two where I didn't, but for the last few weeks... sigh. Refreshing worked until yesterday.

Some people on my flist had no lj during the weekend.

It's a mess.

You are probably on Filet Mignon cluster. The free accounts are all on there and they have been taking it off line and into read only mode on and off for days now waiting for new hardware.

Go here to see - http://www.livejournal.com/misc/whereami.bml

If you have problems, go here to see if they are doing something that is impacting you - http://www.livejournal.com/support/

Hope that helps.

Thank you, and yep, that's where I am. No matter how much the cage gets rattled, I'm not getting a paid account. I'd go to another service first.

I've been having that off and on for the past week or so two ... usually just after I've typed a long entry.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-01 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Exactly. You lost your posts, too?

*exasperated look*

Icarus

[identity profile] ness-va.livejournal.com 2005-03-02 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I lost my posts. It's gotten to the point that now I copy them before I try posting them, so I don't have to re-type them.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-02 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd think I'd learn to copy them, wouldn't you?

You are definitely not the only one having this problem. It's a bitch, yeah, but fortunately this problem only happened overnight for me and worked the nect day. I hope yours get better's soon!

It's a a real shame . GJ is far better than LJ, yet people usually don't make it their personal journal for reason being: their friends aren't going to move with them.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-02 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
This has been going on for weeks, but only got really bad this week, were multiple attempts to post didn't work.

Argh.

I'm not a free account, and I was out over the weekend - for about 24 hours, anyway. It was weird - I had access to old posts by everyone, but not any new posts. It fixed itself, though.

I hope your problems clear up soon...I'm impatiently waiting for the Jericho post... *g*
ext_8622: (Default)

Hmm....

[identity profile] dustandroses.livejournal.com 2005-03-02 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I just had to try posting this twice...I got the same stuff you were talking about:

This comment was not posted. The journal you are posting to is in "read-only" mode at this time, while yadda yadda yadda....

But then I just hit the post comment button and it went right through. More weirdness...

Re: Hmm....

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-02 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm at my wits end. I just lost a long post on [livejournal.com profile] wildernessguru's opinion of what it takes to write a good Stargate story. Multiple tries doesn't help when the post is wiped out for good.

*frustration*

I'm just gonna write and wait for the LJ problem to end.

Woo. And once more: WOO.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2005-03-02 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell. LJ isn't letting me post again.

grr. Damn Lj. I will go and have *words* with it, because damnit, I need my J/D fix.
