(no subject)

I'd hate to abandon LJ. My flist is small on DW and my DW friend's page is overrun by an interesting but very prolific community. But with my dial-up connection it's getting next to impossible to get through to LJ on the weekends.

I would ask that people put all photos and youtube material behind cuts on LJ, Friday morning through Sunday afternoon US time and (Friday evening through Monday morning Russian time) till this nonsense is past. That would help speed up loading everyone's friend's page, and they'll still be able to get to what you want to show them.

I might also add that backgrounds you may have added to your personal LJ pages really cause problems for replying to you in times like these.
