SCARED NOW

[cuddlefish]

Does anyone else see that icon?

A couple weeks ago Livejournal made me sign in (it's supposed to remember my password), and when I finished I found myself on an ad for that bullshit "service" where you send your gold jewelry in a flimsy envelope to some people who send back chump change. Now my icon is Tina Fey eating chips. I did not set that icon, ever. I've never even seen it.

What the fuck?

A few weeks back I feel like I did something that made me afraid of a keylogger or a virus. I downloaded and I am using AVG but it hasn't come up with anything? Is that going to cover me? Should I talk to LJ or something?

EDIT: False alarm! (;’з‘) It was a fuckup on LJ's part cured by clearing the cache.

Seriously distasteful, though. Would I lose my whole flist if I moved to a different journal?

I've had that happen a few times with icons on RP journals, but it's never anything that's actually on the computer. Just annoying, you know?

And so long as you let people know what your new journal would be I'd be your friend still :)

What she said!

Thank you <3

(Bahaha, icon.)

Yeah, I've had the icon problem a few times myself. Aggravating. x_x;

But, if you were to move to a new journal I'd follow you too, duuuurr.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

It might have happened to me before, but it was a long time ago and I FORGOT. Thanks.

Also, I'm imagining the Elrichesters in your icon each saying one line of your comment AHAHAHA

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

Al says the first line and Ed says the second one?

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

Is it wrong that I think "durrr" fits Ed so well?

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

Not in the slightest. Because it does fit him, so very, very well.

*wry* Speaking as someone who has moved, as long as you still visit LJ to comment to the people who haven't moved, you'll still be fine. I recommend putting a link to your LJ flist in your links list, and then you can treat LJ just like a flist filter.

May I recommend Dreamwidth? *grins* Open beta and account creation coming in about a month. More cool features than you can shake a stick at (eventually) and the freaking back-end code finally, finally fixed. See starting faq here, if you're at all curious.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

Yes, I love it when you visit and comment X3 Sounds good.

I'm really interested. I especially like the "watch" and "trust" list thing that EVERYBODY has only been waiting for FOREVER. I don't want to impose, but if you have access to signup codes sometime, could I have one? (I probably won't be paying for an account unless I'm 90% moved in, because I don't pay here, either.)

[branchandroot]

Sure thing! When open beta comes I should have a few codes, I shall put you on my list.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥♥♥ Your thoughtfulness is very appreciated.

Yeah, LJ's been wacky with their icons. They replaced my default on my old account with one of a baby, which was, uh. Curious.

I would follow you to a new journal, if you moved.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

The babies are taking over?! Halp.

THANK YOU

[runan.livejournal.com]

Um, I'm going to buck the trend and say pleeeeease don't move from LJ? ._. I mean, it's your choice, but it's just nice and convenient to have all my frinds on LiveJournal.

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I ask because it IS kind of a pain in the ass for all involved ^^; I'm glad you said something.
