Thanks for the update. Compounding the problem might be that the LJ servers are noticing the increased requests from DW and blocking them, as they've been doing with requests that were spambots. I'm no techie so I'm just guessing.

It's good that you're keeping us informed because so many LJers are coming here now. We don't want you to get bad press for something that's beyond your control. Keeping members informed is one of the smartest things you can do.
