I'm glad your bug is fixed. I think I'm doomed with the cross-posting. All attempts to redo my settings (including deleting LJ as a cross-post site and then setting it up again fresh) have failed with various error messages, some of which other people are getting. I think I'm doomed.

I can sort of see why these problems might not have been picked up in testing, though it does suggest they are not very serious about third party developers (which I suppose is fair enough, Google isn't either), but the problems with the RTF editor and the last release are seriously WTF? I don't use the RTF editor, but having had to help a couple of users out of the mangling it did on their entries it boggles my mind that anyone could have tested it at all without realising it was seriously fubar.

LJ users who claim we're all being too demanding and these things happen are also starting to seriously piss me off. Yes bugs get through testing, but the increasing frequency with which they get through LJ's testing suggests that they aren't even attempting a minimum standard for software quality. As you say DreamWidth provides a much better model for how user expectations can be managed, and how to deal with bugs when they inevitably appear, though whether they could maintain that in the face of a userbase LJ's size is a moot point.
