The problem with LJ...

The problem I was having last night, when I was getting Error 500 messages when I tried to load my friends page, turns out to have been caused by one of the communities I watch. I temporarily stopped watching them. Of course it's the one community that I can usually count on to be providing me with new stuff to look at very frequently! Three other communities appear to be affected as well.

And right now, a whole lot of people and communities are affected in a number of ways, because LJ's undergoing emergency database maintenance to try to rectify the issues. Should last for another 4-5 hours.
