LiveJournal issues
20 March 2015 06:34 pmSince the LiveJournal update of 13th March, I have found it quite impossible to stay logged-in -- every time I navigate to a new page the site logs me out again. This means that any friends-only journal entries (including my own!) are effectively invisible to me, as are locked entries in communities.
I can just about post comments and public journal entries by dint of repeatedly using the local log-in options on those pages -- everything else is disabled, and doing even this much is a colossal pain. So unless LJ somehow fix the issue, it looks as if I'm going to end up migrating to another site like everyone else...
My only consolation is that apparently I'm not the only one affected, so there is at least a chance that they will address whatever the bug is that they've introduced this time... (They have also effectively removed all the navigation links on the site by rolling them into a supposedly drop-down menu which doesn't; but I can work around that with a sigh and a groan for non-accessible website design. That 'feature' was at least intentional -- its apparent side-effects cannot possibly have been intended and are of a fairly terminal nature.)
