Imports from LJ re-enabled

LJ has let us know that they've re-enabled third-party application access to the site, which has allowed us to re-enable imports from LJ and means that crossposting to LJ will be less likely to fail. (Crossposts still may fail due to temporary site unavailability; as mentioned in the previous update, until you get a failure message in your inbox, the crosspost is still retrying even if it hasn't actually posted to the remote account yet.)

Thanks to LJ for keeping us in the loop on this. We salute y'all over there for your tireless efforts to stay online throughout this DDoS.

Thanks for the update and the pointers. 8^) I used your advice and "edited" my post from yesterday, ticking both crosspost boxes, at last getting it to crosspost to LiveJournal. ^_^;

on a side note, i like that we get a FAIL notice if a crosspost fails but not the continued notices that it posted for us. we can see when it posted! but it's nice to be notified it didn't post.

that was a nice change awhile back. so... thanks.

Me, too. Characteristically, LJ seems to be allowing it one minute and falling asleep at the wheel the next.

I did open a support request, #11359.

I hope LJ doesn't go down in flames. I like it very much over there, but if anything, there's always DW. It's pretty cool over here.

So do we have to re-post or manually crosspost or edit if it fails? I had to manually post an entry because after a few hours it still wasn't showing up, and now I've got two notifications letting me know that editing my DW entry failed to crosspost to LJ. What should I do to make sure they propagate?

Oh, thanks, I'll pay more attention to the messages and check the tickyboxes. ^_^
