NOW I'm missing entries and comments, discussions that took place on my journal recently that were important to me. This is, to me, far worse than the loss of my style info.

Notably, the discussion where several of you told me where to find archive tools is missing. That entry and all of the discussion is gone. I will have to beg you to please tell me again where to find those tools.

I'm afraid to look through my memories to see how many of my old entries might be mising.

LJ is offering people on Chef-sub-8 a month of free time. Big whoop -- what good is free paid time, when there's no guarantee that data will be retained?

LJ gets no more of my money, until I see sustained proof that stability issues like this have been fixed.

Edit. The "lost entry restoration tool" says this: "It seems that all of your entries are in order. If you are experiencing any difficulties with your account, please visit our support center."

No, they most certainly are NOT in order. This is totally unacceptable.

Edit. The LJ Backup tool does not work on this computer, for some reason. I suppose I'll try rebooting and seeing if that works.

I'd wait until tomorrow, because I'm literally sickened over my frustration with this, but I should try to do the backup while my entries are still here.

I haven't had problems with lost entries ... but increasingly I'm seeing a tendency to ignore the right to privacy of LJ users if the results would be "cool."

I'm getting heartily sick of seeing friends-only entries pop up unprotected in the "20 Most Recent Posts" list and the "Pictures Recently Posted to LJ" sites. I'm starting to wonder if anything I post here is secure or safe in any way.

I may need to move my blog to another provider, or to a private server. Really, LJ doesn't save me THAT much time over templated HTML ...

What's the 20 Most Recent Posts list? I hadn't heard of that one. Ow....

[cktraveler.livejournal.com]

The 'latest posts' document, here (http://www.livejournal.com/stats/latest.bml). I'm not sure it's actually 20.

This is an LJ-run page. It doesn't show filtered or private posts.

It doesn't show private posts, no. But there have been consistent faults where posts marked friends-only appeared there in full text. (You can find such errors by attempting to view the original post.)

If it happens even once, that's too often.
