LJ lapses

Over the past 24 hours or so, LJ's system of sending e-mail notifications of comments seems to have been down about 99% of the time. Since yesterday evening I've had just two such notifications, one from [livejournal.com profile] sci_o_biscuits  and one from [livejournal.com profile] jaeljael. (Bizarrely, while sci_o_biscuits in fact left two comments [or more?] separated by at most a few minutes, I received notification of one but not the other.)

When I checked in my LJ Inbox, however, I discovered a whole bunch of comments of which I'd been ignorant. (I also found a "befriending" of which I'd been unaware -- by one of the Russian bots, so I reported it to LJ Abuse.) The worrying part is that, of course, my LJ Inbox tells me only about comments left in my own postings, not about replies to comments I might have left in other people's blog entries.

I mentioned this to [livejournal.com profile] pds_lit, who found exactly the same was true in her own case. You might, if today seems to have been unusually quiet for you LJ-wise, want to check your own LJ Inbox (or "Manage Your Comments" if you prefer).

It's feasible that the server which both pds_lit and I use might have suddenly decided to clamp down on LJ's e-mails as potential spam, but for various reasons I don't think that's likely.

Anyway, my apologies if I've seemed to have committed the discourtesy of not responding to a comment you might have left that demanded an answer. If it was important, please ask again here.

Phew, I got home last night, had major email problems downloading mail and found a few responses to my lj posts today by accident and assumed I hadn't been notified because of MY problems. Happy to discover it's only lj :-)

It sems to be working okay now, although the whole of LJ's so quiet today that it's hard to tell.

Hope you had a jolly time on your travels!

Yes, it is--it just alerted me to your response :-).

Mine were acting the same way (comments, that is) so I'm glad to know it is LJ and not something wrong with my computer or something

The only trouble with Livejournal
Is that figuring it out is eternal
Sometimes when you post
There isn't a ghost
Of your message and that is infernal

It required a mighy effort, Mr. Thog, but somehow we bumbled our way through it.

Ahem. "We"?

It was the editorial "we," I assure you, not the royal "we."

This happened to me, as well.
