Hi, I wandered here through F_W, and you don't know me. I just wanted to say that I fully agree. I have been compulsively refreshing LJ without even fully paying attention to what I'm doing. I've had at least three thoughts I wanted to post on LJ and went to the update page to post. I've wanted to check on or download things that are linked from various LJ pages - no dice. This is really rough. Here's hoping it's fixed soon.
