Not on Dreamwidth until crossposting works.

[icarus]

Damn it.

Folks, I'm not able to crosspost to Dreamwidth. I've been trying. It's not working. So I'm not on Dreamwidth yet.

For now I'm posting on Livejournal.

Not Dreamwidth.

Why?

Because Dreamwidth crossposting is not working for me. [Insert much cussing.]

Dreamwidth won't let me crosspost to Journalfen. When I crosspost from Seamagic to Dreamwidth, I get timeout errors.

I just lost a long happy post that I attempted to crosspost via Seamagic to Dreamwidth. It timed out. Since I was logging in at Dreamwidth via Seamagic, I lost the whole thing. It didn't post anywhere. Arrgh! [Insert keyboard mash of fury.]

Those of you who think you can read me at Dreamwidth -- you can't. It won't ^%#&%$#&%$&^ post!


ETA: Yes, yes, I followed the directions to add DW to Semagic. The same ones that I successfully used to post to IJ and JF over the last two years. Yes, yes, I posted this post manually. I don't rule out that I've done something wrong. I just don't have the time and patience to fuck with it further. It doesn't work. That's all that matters.

Yep. Posted it manually.

I lost a post via DW. Am irritated.

Semagic didn't auto-save my draft. *growls at DW*

Are you able to post to Dreamwidth *only* using Semagic? If not, the only other think I can think to check is, in the login info for Dreamwidth in Semagic, do you have the server name as www.dreamwidth.org?

[icarus]

do you have the server name as www.dreamwidth.org

LOL! Yes. And I have the computer plugged in, too. ;)

I can post directly to DW on the site. I can't post to DW via Semagic, I get a time out error. And I can't post to LJ/IJ/JF from DW because it won't post to JF.

And I can't post to LJ/IJ/JF from DW because it won't post to JF.

But it did post to LJ and IJ? Because I see that you have a free account and according to the FAQ ( http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=4 ) you can only crosspost to one site if you have a free account.

I was able to crosspost to several sites when it was in closed beta. So I know it does work, but yeah, won't be using that. :)

Hah! Yes, sorry, that did seem a little obvious. But in my defense, the email addresses for my employer are .org, and you would not believe how many people automatically type .com and then get bounce back on their emails to us.

Oh, I've worked in tech support on occasion. I know, I know. I cracked up as soon as you mentioned it.

And immediately checked. :D
