S1 and S2

[baratron]

Eeek, my livejournal has returned to one of the default styles instead of the style I'd created myself! Perhaps user-defined styles using S1 have been killed off now S2 has come in? Would have been nice to have been told, though! It happened literally just now - I reloaded my journal to check that my last post had come through okay, and suddenly it looked completely different!

Argh! I don't have time to write a new set of styles with S2 until my thesis is finished! Damn them!

Update: Oh, it's back again. Huh. Well, I'll keep this post here as insurance, in case it happens again...

Your journal may display in a generic style for a short time while we make a few changes. You have not lost any of your customizations or settings.

We're aware that the site is having difficulty on and off today, and we're carefully watching the servers to handle problems as they arise. We apologize sincerely for the difficulty this week; we're updating the site's backend code to make the site faster and more reliable, but it's taking a little more tweaking than we'd expected. Thank you for your patience, and things should return to normal soon.

Hm. The first paragraph of that wasn't there when I looked. ;)

Gah. Like I really want another browser window open just so I can check status.livejournal.com! This sort of thing should go in lj_maintenance, preferably ahead of time! I know people are busy, volunteers etc., but for a few minutes there I was thinking "well, thank God I have a deadjournal in the same style as my old livejournal, so I'll be able to copy that over to S2".

Very weird and distressing, yes.
