Since yesterday afternoon, we've been hit with a DDoS attack. We're doing everything we can to keep everything running at 100%. Unfortunately some jobs/notifications/pages might behave unexpectedly or fail to load until we can fully stop the attack. We want to thank you ahead of time for your patience. If something doesn't work, just try waiting a few seconds and try again. As always, we're watching things 24/7 and will post updates to status.livejournal.org.

Кратко: сервер подвергся DDoS-атаке. Отсюда медленное открытие страниц, проблемы с уведомлениями и прочие извращения. Если что-то не работает, попробуйте еще раз через несколько секунд. И заглядывайте на http://status.livejournal.org
