imports stalled from LJ

[mark]

It seems that LiveJournal is having some issues right now and for the past few days. I've been monitoring our importer traffic, but we're seeing errors:

Can't use string (\"\") as a HASH ref while \"strict refs\" in use at /home/lj/cgi-bin/ljprotocol.pl line 230.

As soon as this is resolved, imports will start to move along again. Until then though, we can't really do much about it from our end. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Edit: Oh, I didn't mention. Yes, I spoke with someone over there and the LiveJournal team is aware of the problem and they're working to fix it.

ohhh I thought I'd messed something up. Whew, thanks!

Thanks, good to know! I'll try to be patient. :)

Somebody with more illustration skills than I needs to make a little "dreamsheep" with a mask and cape for Mark to use in situations like this.

Or, better yet, a little animated .gif of him (in cape and tights, of course) hopping into the DW mobile and zooming off the save the day.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, seriously. I too was afraid I'd messed up somehow. *g*

Thanks and best of luck!

I've not been affected personally, but I'm always grateful to know that you're aware of and sorting problems. One of my recurrent gripes with livejournal is not knowing what's going on; that's neveer a problem here.

Thanks for letting us know. LJ has been full of fail with this update - no change, I guess! - but the openness from you guys is really helpful :-)

And I agree - it's nice to be informed of these things. =]

Thank you! I just joined and am trying to import 6 years worth of posts, so this is good to know.

Question, I'm also trying to import from JournalFen, will that go to the front of the queue if the LJ import is stalled?

Damn, I've always loved how fast and efficient (no double postings!) DW importing has been. I'll cross my fingers LJ fixes this quickly.

[jae]

It looks like it's working again! I just imported successfully.

My importer is showing the same symptoms again and not working; is it safe to assume it's the same problem?
