Anyone else having problems with their user pics today? 84 of mine seem to have disappeared. Please don't tell me I have to upload them again!

Got this from another com


As many of you might know, LJ has been down for many today, due to yet another DDoS attack. Since LJ started hitting back at the bot spammers last week, there's been a problem site-wide, because of a DDoS attack last week, and now yet another one today.

Whenever you can't log into LJ, check the status page here:

http://status.livejournal.org/

and keep it in your bookmarks.

The site continues to be buggy, and some user pics are missing, but they should come back asap.

As always, check the LJ news comm here for news:

and the LJ maintenance comm here:

Ah. Thanks. I always forget to check the comms. Seems the spammers don't like what LJ's doing.

I haven't lost that many but I have lost some!

A few of mine are missing. No apparent rhyme or reason to which ones.

Also I keep noticing replies to comments are appearing as new top level comments, which is a right pain. (It's happened on this post with your response to Sue.)

I'm down 23 at the moment - but I have lj maintenance friended and someone there is very good at trying to keep us in the loop (whenever the loop is accessible!) So I'm not worrying too much - I'm guessing they'll turn up again eventually.

It's weird which ones have gone too. I would've thougth the animated ones, but they seem mostly okay.

I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out, but yeah, it is a pain.

I hope so.
