Random LJ errata:

Several of my friends are being bitten by an apparent bug in posting by email that overwrites your most recent entry instead of making a new one. I haven't posted by email in a while, and given that am not motivated to experiment, but if you do, beware.

Sometimes the time stamps in new posts are in Pacific time rather than local time; sometimes they aren't. Maybe it depends which server you hit or something. There are lots of bug reports about this.

After a bug that screwed up some existing memories (and yeah, like I'm thrilled about having to re-add 400+ memories to recover from the bug...), there are now some other screwy problems with memories. Oh, and if you edit a memory it shows up at the end of your list, so the "sort by order added" view is really "sort by order last edited", which is less useful. When I'm not being bitten by screwy behavior, I'm just editing all of mine to start with the date of the entry, which is close enough to "order added" over the long term. Then I can sort by description and not have to care about wacky ordering.

Update on the over-writing bug: it's now happened the other way around, too, where a web post overwrites an email post.

Happens to phone posts, as well. (I transcribed a phone post from [livejournal.com profile] tpau, which vanished into the ether...)
