Database maintenance

[mark]

Hi all,

I did some database maintenance today -- moving our workers around! -- and this caused a glitch in the replication between our old databases and the new ones, so the new ones weren't getting all the updated data.

What this means to you: if you saw problems trying to update your access list or subscription filters, or with community invitations, or viewing support requests, that was caused by the glitch in replication. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

This particular issue won't recur, since it was caused by a very specific circumstance related to moving the workers around. Since I'm done moving them, the problem won't happen again.

( A more technical explanation follows... )

We're getting multiple reports of crossposting to LiveJournal not working, with an error message of "Failed to crosspost entry to [username]@LiveJournal: Failed to connect to http://www.livejournal.com/interface/xmlrpc." We're looking into whether this is a problem on LJ's end or our end (and if it's our end, we'll do our best to fix it!)

EDIT: This problem has been fixed now!
