So, I haven't received any comments for days and days and it's making me crazy. What's the consensus when this happens? Will they show up eventually? Do I need to report it to LJ? They aren't getting filtered by my email account, it's gotta be on LJ's end.

Hmph.

In other news, I went to a phenomenal Bonfire Night thing this weekend at JJ's parents' farm. The bonfire was twenty feet tall unlit, and doubled that when it was on fire. There were dozens of fireworks, and a barbecue of the finest organic meat in Suffolk, and 60 or 70 twentysomethings, gallons and gallons of mulled wine... No burning effigies of seventeenth century protestors, but several students almost went up from high blood-alcohol in proximity to a naked flame.

It was smelly and dangerous and carbon-excreting and fantastic! ♥

Hey, awesome icon! ^_^

Oh, the comments - I don't have a link with me right now, but it seems that LJ comments are getting eaten by spamfilters on services such as Hotmail. I've got Gmail, which works just fine... But check the help/FAQ? I know tipper_green was having the same kind of problem, and vaguely recall something being posted in her LJ about it?

No matter what the problem is, I hope it works out soon! Been there, done that, and been extremely annoyed by it!

Thanks! Checked out tipper_green's journal and think I've found my answer, but I'm a one-email-address kind of girl, so I'll just wait it out. Now that I've discovered the option to see the last 10 comments I've had, I can work around it. I've seen people complaining about not getting comments since the beginning of time LJ, but never realised how clenchy it would make me.

I can't take credit for the the icon I'm afraid, and I swiped it right back in my early LJ days here when I didn't track where stuff came from. So I can't even credit - am a bad, bad woman. Will just have to go create my own range of icons!

....or, forget that, I could create a gmail account and have them sent there.

Shiny!

And your bored Cam is just darling. ♥

Good idea about setting up a Gmail account to get your LJ comments! Hope Gmail doesn't flip out now... It really is most frustrating.

I'm afraid I stole that one as well... I'm rather limited when it comes to icons I actually made.

But you're guilting me into creativity quite effectively. I mean this as a compliment.

Hey, nothing wrong with using icons made by others! It takes a while to get the hang of the etiquette surrounding these things, and some people don't mind their icons being grabbed even without credit, while others will... uh. React more strongly?

Making your own icons is fun, though - I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Also, for the record, if we could get a Teyla and Ronon shot like your icon in every ep, I'd be a happy, happy camper. It's team!alien and I bet that Sheppard or McKay is standing opposite squirming and saying 'shuddup' at being the target of the pithy comment Ronon just made.

Where's it from?

[naye]

Yes! I really do love those moments myself - "Echoes" has some of the best scenes like that ever. My icon's from "McKay & Mrs Miller", so Rodney is the one being laughed at. XD
