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. For more info, check out Unfunny Business on journalfen.

They also introduced a bug where people are randomly being logged on to journals not their own, and able to view locked/privated entries and edit other people's journals. That just happened to me, so I can verify that you can definitely see locked shit from other people's journals, and it looked like I had the option to edit.

People are saying you can also see other people's account info/personal info/payment history/etc when it happens, too, but I logged right the hell out when I realized, so I didn't see that to verify. So if you have any location info or anything in your profile, even privated, pull it out. :(

I'm annoyed, too, but haha oh my lordy the vitriol on that lj_releases thread about LJlogin!!! I just cannot deal.

That said, it just makes me relieved that all of my RP happens on IJ and that I'm barely tuned in to LJ anymore. I'm trying to get back into the swing of blogging there, but it's sure hard when everything is so slow and unreliable and argh.
