Crossposting to LiveJournal

Hi all,

Due to some recent availability problems with accessing the LiveJournal service, crossposts may be slow. The system does automatically retry, but if it's a slow spot it could be minutes or even an hour or two before we can get the entry posted.

Thank you for your patience!

This just happened to me, too. How do we get the DW entry to acknowledge the crosspost? Just wait until the trouble dies down and go into the DW entry and check the crosspost ticky and hope that saving it won't result in a duplicate post?

Sadly, there's no way to connect them up again, because LJ returned a failure ("this didn't post") when we made the call to their interface to post the entry rather than a success (with the URL of the LJ version of the entry). The only way to fix it is to delete the entry on LJ, then edit the DW entry and re-check the crosspost box to post it on LJ from scratch.

Oh, sad orphaned post! I'll delete the LJ version and wait until things are better to try crossposting again. Thank you!
