Livejournal problems - DDOS attack?

[matgb]

OK, heads up for those not subscribed, both the_lj_herald and lj_maintenance are reporting that the recent LJ clunkiness may be due to:

f a distributed denial of service (DDOS) and we've taken a number of measures to mitigate the impact in order to bring LiveJournal back to full functionality.

In the meantime, as not all comment notifications are getting through, I've rediscovered the usefulness of the Recent Comments page, now with extra souped up paid account goodness.

For the record, I'll repeat my recommendation that everyone should read the_lj_herald, completely unofficial, but summarises all the useful LJ announcements from their various sources, a lot easier; it's on my main filter, all the others are on a 'read when bored' filter, and it'll mean you get told about things such as UK voice post numbers, new features, etc fairly quickly without wading through all the crap on the official comms.

The tracking feature works well too. Just track all comments you make.

Except I'm not getting a lot of emails that I should be via tracking as well. I have Jennie subbed, and we're not getting them through, plus I would've missed this is Liz hadn't linked it; I have Azure's LJ tag subbed as well.

So tracking is good, but if you're not getting all the tracking mails it's bloody annoying.

Whether the email notifications are working or not, the message centre is still up and running.

Hmm. True, does seem to be; and it also seems to have unsubbed me from a few things (again) without asking me. Gah!

Ah well, it matters not really.
