UGH, LJ. I'm not even there but for one music community really, but they modified something in their code so that LJ-Login (and all derivatives) no longer works with their site, w/o letting the coder or anyone else know, and will now not release what it is they changed so that he can fix his add-on.

Squeaky, PLEASE don't follow suit. :( I left you a little love in ~announcements in hopes that you won't, and because this site is generally great and my interwebs RP home.

EDIT: After thebodypolitic commented, I thought I'd PSA this -- the most recent push also introduced a bug that is logging people into the wrong account at random. She found herself logged into an account she's never owned, able to see all of their private entries and bio information. Since she's not evil, she promptly logged out, but then has been left wondering: if she wound up in someone else's journal, who wound up in hers? Longstoryshort, if you have any identifying personal info in any livejournal accounts (name, location, credit card info from payment pages, etc.) even if it's set to be private, should someone accidentally wind up in your account, they're viewing it.

I found it through a quick googling anyway (though couldn't access it thx to workplace filters, herp derp), so np!

And yes, exactly: when I saw mention of it in the comments, the very first thing I did was comb ~lj_releases and ~news for any details... but nothing, zip, nada. Which is extremely worrying. 8|

The only official word I saw was "report it to support", and that's IT, though there was ample response to the lj-login breakage, at least in early comments. And the support notice I put in about it was set from public to private, but not addressed yet. It is fucked up.
