Disimprovement engineering

[supergee]

Livejournal is one of the many computerized operations in which the scariest word is "upgrade." There appears to have been a new one, and I am seeing complaints. Perhaps because I never went along with the Friends Page upyoursgrade, the only problem I have noticed is that lj no longer recognizes its own lj-user symbol if I post directly to it, so I am now originating my birthday posts on Dreamwidth, the way I do all my others. As always, when lj malfunctions, I blame unprotected contact with Facebook.
