You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I get a 404 when I go straight for the tag, but search still works fine.

Whoah. They've done a thing where they've interpreted my "author:" and "kink:" tags to be categorisation, and now I have a "has author" and "has kink" tags added to the applicable entries.

"Has author" not so interesting. "Has kink"? Oh, halloo, timesaver.

I don't need stacks: I had bundles. Where are all my tags? Where is the network/follow page? Where are my subscriptions?

Why are there pictures of cats and badgers? Why can I only see ten links per page?

I am NOT HAPPY.

You don't have tags? I still have tags. I just have extra tags. And I like my new tags, because they do more than bundles. Not sure what happened to bundles, though. That was a lot of org work I'm not intending to redo.

Never had subscriptions, but my follow page is still there. Ten links per page is rude. I was looking at 10 times as many.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I seem to have three tags which is ...not right.

I had a lot more tags than they're showing me, and they're not in order. I had my tags bundled, and that's gone.

They list the people I follow, but there's no page that shows me all their links together, like an LJ flist. What use is a follow page if I can't see what they're linking to?

And subscriptions was how I tracked new apocafic and whether anyone was linking to my stuff.

I'm quite pissed off.

I'm assuming that their FAQ isn't helping you any? I think it was a silly idea to have a release with that many to dos, but I don't feel that the sky is falling.

And does your inbox not work?

There's nothing new in my inbox.

And half my tags are missing.

If I click on "gen" I get... ten links. This is not good.

I never used my following, so I have no idea what's normally in there. There is stuff now, though.

Did you email them to report the bugs?

No, I'll have to wait until I get home to do that. It's too hard to do that sort of thing from my phone.
