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

Ack. I can't load my sister's Touch as a hard drive on Windows seven. It took half an hour to get iTunes to recognize it, but I still can't copy the music off. The laptop it was synced to is dead.

Any suggestions?

If you're using an S2 journal style, go to Customize Journal Style and toggle "Disable customized comment pages for your journal" to No.

Yeah, it was already set to that. Not helping.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Is this your conjecture or based on actual statements?

There was a quote with links yesterday in the lj releases thread. It's been verified that igrick is head of LJ Russia. It's also been reported that he's been rude and dismissive of western users and their issues.

There have been some fixes implemented, and some ongoing attempts to set things to an approximation of how they worked before, but it's new coding, and not restoration, and nobody knows how far those concessions will go.

I spent some time trying to find the links I followed yesterday, but the comments count on the "release 88" post reached more than 1900 in 30-odd hours, at least three-fourths of it protesting the changes, and I just can't wade through it all for a cite. Sorry!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I gave up Firefox for Chrome a while back because Chrome was so much faster.

Ironically, the one thing it CAN'T seem to load is Google services - I get randomly logged out of Gmail all the time, the omnibar only works because I changed the default search to Bing, and Maps takes so long to load I may as well just start driving and ask for directions along the way.

Anyone know of a possible reason for this and a way to make it better?

Then I would purge all the cookies and our history.

Can't you search from the menu bar in all browsers? Don't make me bust out about long time Opera shit now...
