bloody "kick grue23 and then claim there's a database error so he can't post"

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

So is the anonomys comment you?

Also, Elvis? Really? Willie Nelson I knew about but...

[grue23.livejournal.com]

I think it's the original. Presely, not Costello.

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely correct. The King, then Willie, then the PSB.

That was me! They kicked us all off last night. They're changing security or something... they already changed the format of our URLS, and now since last night the userinfo page is just "profile".

[grue23.livejournal.com]

next time I'll have to preload everything, make a couple sample comments, make sure I'm still logged in... sheesh!

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

Ya it's annoying. When you're leaving a comment you can look about the comment field to see under what account you are about to post - or if you're not logged in you will see that it's anonymous - but I NEVER look at that.

Yeah, if you check lj_maintenance they explain what's going on. It's some security issue; they have to keep killing everyone's cookies.
