keiliss....and then the fancy continuous scroll thing broke, and then I logged out and couldn't log back in. So much for the 'new, improved, blue and white' Livejournal.
NaNoWriMo site has also gone blue and white. Does international law say all these places must look like FB clones?

Date: 2012-11-03 07:02 (UTC)Recently I had too many messages (Yahoo mail in this case, but it's the same principal) either sent from my account to all my contact list, by someone who was able to hack into my account, or I got such messages from others who were unfortunate to have THEIR accounts hacked.
Spare yourselves the headache and heartache of losing either the account or just some info. Having that happen on LJ can be painful.
And Kei, as long as you post on Dreamwidth with cross to LJ, I'll try to remember and comment here.
Let the revolution begin.

Date: 2012-11-05 02:16 (UTC)I'm confused about the password thing because mine isn't a weak password - I couldn't use it on my bank site but PayPal would accept it happily -- and I've never had a problem on LJ of any kind. I'd want to be warned if I've been compromised, but when nothing seems to have happened, it's a bit strange. I need them to give me a better reason than 'just in case'.
Actually - what happens if someone hacks your journal? Mail is a niightmare, I know, but how do they use a LJ account? I've never really thought about this before.

Date: 2012-11-05 02:29 (UTC)Tumblr --- I have an account but may have trouble getting back in as I only went in once, dressed it up and haven't been back and don't remember the password. I'm still not sure I get the point of it.
Maybe you have the right approach.

Date: 2012-11-05 02:36 (UTC)I might like Tumblr more if I had close friends over there but no one's mentioned spending most of their time there. FB yes, but it'd take more than that to make a Facebook person out of me.

Date: 2012-11-05 05:07 (UTC)It's that old saying: better safe then sorry. Having an account hacked is a matter of pure luck (or lack of it :-P). I think that if you are high profile on the Internet, you're more likely to be targeted then if you're simply a small quiet user.
So it may never happen, but why take a chance?
As to what happens?
For me it's simple: "hacked" means that someone else have MY user login and password and can log into MY account.
What is to say they won't delete material, or change the password so that I, the owner can no longer log into it?
I can't see any reason for all of that but pure malice. But do we lack the such?
I try to follow the recommendations: complex of all sorts of characters/numbers/symbols that are long, but still follow some inner logic that makes sense only to me. That way, it's easier to remember.

A very wise person once told me...
"Write even when you have nothing to say. Describe the room they're in, the scenery along the road, the meal, anything that keeps the words coming and eventually you'll write yourself back into the thread of the story. Yes it'll be rubbish, yet you'll delete paragraphs of useless prose when you're editing in January or whenever, but the most important thing is not to lose momentum."

Date: 2012-11-03 03:45 (UTC)I wrote an extra scene because there was something I had to add before I lost the picture, so that pushed it well over my daily minimum in the end. Don't know why the scene was necessary because it's given me one more thread to keep track of, but it felt right.
