Well, this is deeply annoying

(This is an LJ-specific, unmirrored from anywhere else post.)

For the longest time I've been reading my LJ Friends list via the custom style they'd provided for paid and permanent users. As of the end of May, though, this stopped working. And while they've provided a new way to get at one's Friends page via RSS, it's not bloody well working, and by 'not working', I mean, the time stamps on the posts are all 2038 and the links are broken as well, so I can't even click through to the right pages off the feed.

Which means that I've missed a lot of LJ content in the last several weeks. Unfortunately I have a hard time keeping up with my Friends page posts via any means that don't let me track what I've read and what I haven't (and that includes just visiting the page directly in a browser). I'm going to have to manually subscribe to friends-locked feeds via my Mail client at home. If you typically post outside a Friends lock, I'll put you in my Google reader. But either way, it'll take me a bit to set up.

So apologies if you've posted anything I should possibly have seen in the last many weeks! If you need to bring any specific post to my attention, do please drop me a comment. And if you happen to have a Dreamwidth account that you're actively using and crossposting from it over to here, please let me know so I can subscribe to your journal over there instead. I'm still slowly migrating off of LJ, and unfortunately that's going to continue if they're going to keep up this trend of getting rid of functionality I've been using all this time, and replacing it with stuff that just doesn't bloody well work.
