Imports from LJ re-enabled

[denise]

After a bunch of testing, we are pleased to announce that we've been able to re-enable imports from LiveJournal. Apologies for the delay: we were waiting for the LJ cookie changes to stabilize and be documented!

Thanks go to LJ for making their changes more backwards-compatable. If you'd like to start a new import from LJ, you can do so at the Import Content page.

And there was much rejoicing!

And if you queued up your imports when imports were disabled, they'll start automatically, no need to re-import :)

I am silly and started a new import instead of letting the queued one from 3 weeks ago proceed. The weird thing is that now, the new job gets 'aborted' at the credentials-checking stage. I thought I might have mistyped the password, the first time, but trying again much more carefully yielded the same result... Now I wonder what's happening. :(

[benegenetriivir]

Thank you. But all my new imports were aborted again without any message to my nbox.

[fu]

Hmm, did you have an old import queued?

[moonreviews]

If I import journal comments from crossposted entries, do they get added to the comments already in DW?

[jumpuphigh]

That is how it is set up happen. :D

[shehasathree]

Hmmm.... it still isn't working for me (just tried to import and it aborted at the first step again).

[shehasathree]

Sorry, I deleted my lj-cookies and it worked.

[franzi1981]

Yeah, not working. Verify queue: 0. Waiting to be verified: 5 minutes now...

Definitely still broken.

[jae]

It's not working for me, either. For me it aborted at login. Help?

[owl]

Yay! You guys rock!

[kore]

Still get "Aborted" after a couple of seconds. :-(

[wiseheart]

So do I. :(

[grackle]

Thank you!!!

[juniperphoenix]

Hooray!

[lannamichaels]

Thank you thank you thank you!

[anda]

Hah - I was just bitching at LJ about this (and their complete lack of communication about it) last night.

Sadly, still seems to be aborting. :(

I would like to jump on this opportunity to say how very delighted I am with the functionality and interface here at Dreamwidth! It is so clean and simple, the font is easy to read, in the spell check preview not only is the hypertext already implemented but you can edit the subject as well and you can see which icon you chose too. And with Dreamwidth I don't get buggered with grayed-out screens and 'wait for the advert to finish' shenanigans when I forget to turn off Javascript. Dreamwidth is really nice!

[owl]

:D

[falena]

Thank you so much! Yay.

[eevilalice]

Yay! Mine's going through just fine. :)

[eevilalice]

...except for the three failed attempts now due to some LJ encoding issue. Blast!

[cholera]

I saw this entry after my import completed this morning :) This is such a great feature, and such a huge help in moving from LJ to DW permanently. I absolutely love it here. Thank you!

[jesseofthenorth]

Thank You guys!

[ironed_orchid]

Yes! Comments ahoy!

Which is to say, I've been putting off queuing my comment import for some time now.

[killswitched]

Thank you so much for your hard work on this DW & LJ dev teams!

[kyrielle]

Thank you!

[mewsing]

Thank you so much!!!

[sepdet]

Thank you thank you thank you!

That's a bally lot of years' worth of blogging I now don't have to worry about losing. (Which is well worth the price of two paid accounts, for those of us with multiple personas.)

[zycroft]

Great news! I have an import still waiting and I imagine it will take quite some time for the backlog to clear, but now I know to check my status for when the importer gets around to me =)

[albagubrath]

Yessssssss! This is so amazing. I'm so excited I'm not even bothering to log out of an rp journal in order to comment.

[grey_gazania]

Yay! Thanks so much for fixing this. :D
