Crossposting difficulties

[denise]

We're seeing a number of people reporting difficulty with crosposting to LiveJournal right now. We're looking into the problem!

Thank you so much! I just came over here to see if folks were having the same difficulty I've had today.

[havocthecat]

Oh, hooray! No worries on my end; I can be patient. (I know, I know, it's not like you're worried about me specifically. :)

[zarhooie]

I totally am.

[jelazakazone]

I am having difficulties and not getting notifications. I can work around it, but I do love that feature when it's working. :D Thanks for being on top of things around here!

[denise]

Check your spam folders -- Gmail is marking many of our notifications as spam this week.

[jelazakazone]

I actually had it set so I wouldn't get notifications by email. I've changed that. No notifications in my inbox though.

[denise]

huh. hold that thought until we fix this and then open a support request tomorrow-ish if it's still busted?

[jelazakazone]

Sure thing.

[snottygrrl]

just to let you know, i'm not getting the notifications in my dw inbox either. that was one of the things that was confusing me when the crosspost wasn't working.

thanks for all you guys and the your dedication ♥

[jelazakazone]

It seems to be working just fine for me now. I assume for you as well? I did get one failure notification in my inbox and then it posted.

Denise, if it happens again, I'll let you know. Thanks!

[snottygrrl]

same, same.

it seems to be working now, did eventually post and i did get a failure as well.

aren't the dw folk the best?

[jelazakazone]

Yes, indeed. They are. I wish everyone would see the light and come over. Well, maybe not everyone, but all my friends, definitely:D

[springheel_jack]

cool

[xyndarella]

I thought it was just me! Thanks so much for being on top of it, I love crossposting.

[nelka35]

thanks!

[fyreharper]

Just wanted to let you know your icon made me squee ^^

[nelka35]

hey, thanks. :)

this is actually a quote from a favorite sci-fi young adult series, "Young Wizrds" by Diane Duane. love it, and love the quote. :)

[fyreharper]

Indeed, I recognised it! I adore that series - I just finished rereading Book of Night with Moon :)

[nelka35]

yeah, I love it too. should reread it, thanks for the reminder, I haven't reread it for a few months already.

[flyingfluff]

Thank you :)

[bethctg]

Thanks so much! :)

[alisanne]

Thank you!

[mlyn]

Thank you!

If it helps, I just noticed that after editing an entry that had crossposting checked on, the edit has crossposting unchecked (not by me). I didn't think it was normally set to do this, but it wasn't a big deal (not a public post) so I didn't care much.

[ashen_key]

I've noticed the same thing.

[develish1]

same thing here too

[azurelunatic]

I believe this happens automatically when a crosspost fails. (Can someone who knows the crossposter better confirm?)

[sholio]

I have no firsthand knowledge of the coding or anything like that, but I've been crossposting for a couple of years now and that's definitely been my experience.

[kunzite]

On the notification settings page under "My Account" is an item called "An attempt to crosspost an entry fails" which is forced to on (to the messages inbox) and can be also forwarded to the account's registered email by checking the checkbox to the right.

This is explained near the end of the currently relevant FAQ.

[kaishin108]

Yes me too, it will not cross-post even though it did before and all the boxes are checked right. Thank you so much for looking into it :) :)

[anne_d]

Thanks for the update, and please include me in the tally. You folks are the best!

[cmdr_zoom]

Thank you!

[sid]

Yup, I did a private test post when I saw this. It hasn't appeared on LJ, and it doesn't show in my DW inbox as having failed.

You'll figure it out. ♥

[fiones]

LJ's been a bit wonky today so it's probably something on their end.

[missmollyetc]

Thank you for the update! I haven't been able to crosspost either, and I had mine set to default. Also, for some reason, the crosspost button was unchecked.

[amethystfirefly]

We're also having trouble with crossposting to Insanejournal, too. But it seems to be sporadic and weird.

One of our posts from yesterday didn't post at the time, but we woke up to notifications that it had c/p'ed while we slept. And, when we checked, the post was showing up on both LJ and IJ. The other post from yesterday didn't c/p at all.

The post we just made about half an hour ago posted normally to both LJ and IJ and we didn't get a notification in our inbox that it had posted. (We have inbox notifications set for both successful c/p's and failed ones.)

[denise]

Yeah, with the system backed up from crossposts to LJ not going through, crossposts to other sites are likely to be slow and notifications delayed as well. I'll edit the post to make that clearer.

[ashkitty]

If it helps at all, I've been having trouble posting to both sites at once with Semagic as well. I'll be logged in to DW and try to post to both, so it seems like something on LJ's end if neither platform is working.

[nelka35]

it's now crossposting, most of the times, but I tried importing, and the comments(just the comments) aren't importing.
please look into it as well.
and thanks for all the work you do!

[denise]

That's a separate problem, mentioned in our last dw_news post -- please open a support request for that!

[nelka35]

shows the condition I was in when I read it...
thanks!

[freya46]

Yup. For a while now.
