If you have a custom comment page set up for your journal...

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

...you'd better go into Journal Settings and set it up again, because as of a few minutes ago it was turned off on EVERY SINGLE JOURNAL THAT HAD IT.

This includes the Bar and the Back Room.

LiveJournal, you have set a new bar for "epic fail."

ETA: CHECK YOUR PAID ACCOUNTS. There are reports in the comments for Release 88 that automatic payments have been enabled on some paid accounts without the account-holder's permission or knowledge.

Where do I go in settings? It's been so long since I did this that I can't remember what to do.

Go to http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml (http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml) and set "Disable customized comment pages for your journal" to "No."

Not that it fucking matters, because I for one am prepared to leave LJ for good as soon as all my pup journals are imported over to DreamWidth. This is completely unacceptable.

In the spirit of the season, I'm giving them until I get back from Maryland to stop being igdicks* about this, but if this shit is not reverted by then... importation will begin, and continue until everyone's moved or free invites stop. (I think I have invite codes available if anyone needs them after the free period ends.)

* Too soon? It's never too soon.

This is stunning. It went from fail, to epic fail, to epic master of all fails. I am so mad that I have to leave the house. I want to see how they're going to fuck up next!

The death throes of LJ, folks. I have a feeling they've begun.

They are fighting their customers move by move -- we turn on the customised pages to make sure we get a decent layout, they turn off ALL customised pages. We turn off automatic payments in protest to show them that WE ARE THE CUSTOMER -- they turn on automatic payments for ALL.

That is not the way to react to customer complaints.-
