Not cool, LJ.

So. LiveJournal decided that they are no longer accepting "/" in their tags, which means everything in the tagging system for pairings and others including the forwardslash is completely nonfunctional, thus making things even harder to identify and locate.

NOT COOL ELJAY, NOT COOL AT ALL. FIX THIS ASAP OR FEEL THE WRATH OF MANY USERS.

*silently fumes at douchenozzles responsible*

ETA: It seems like this was an unintentional fluke and they are currently working on fixing it, so problem somewhat averted. Although many of the new features added seem to be of much annoyance, and rightfully so. Sometimes when they add something new it can be something I don't care for so I ignore it, but it seems like they keep adding new stuff that isn't really necessary and without options of turning it off and yeah, it's understandably annoying.

SRSLY!?! But I use the slashes so much in my tags. WTF LIVEJOURNAL. WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO BE SUCH AN ASSBUTT??

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I HAVE A PARTICULAR TING WITH THE SLASHES, OKAY? IT LOOKS PRETTIER AND MORE ORGANIZED AS OPPOSED TO USES "X" OR "&" OR ANYTHING ELSE. NOW THINGS ARE GONNA BE FUCKED UP IF THIS IS PART OF THEIR NEW POINTLESS FEATURES.

Hmm...I just posted my White Collar squee and my Neal/Peter tag worked fine. Is it just when trying to add a new tag?

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I tried all my slash-tags (Dean/Castiel tag (http://rogueslayer452.livejournal.com/tag/dean%2Fcastiel) for example) and it doesn't do anything. Although it makes me wonder if they added something new to the features it messed something up with the system so old tags aren't recognized, but if you make a new forwardslash tag it might work? idk

[alexwhitman25.livejournal.com]

Huh. I'm confuzzled. All my old / tags are showing up. My Dean/Cas one came up fine.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Mmm, now I'm even more confused, since none of mine are. Woe. :(

[alexwhitman25.livejournal.com]

Just read in the news post comments that it is an unintentional issue. They are working on it but have no estimated timeframe when a fix will be done.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Oh well, that's good. At least they're working on fixing the problem. I kinda figured it would be something of a fluke, otherwise it would have been kinda ridiculous.

The tags still show up on entries and in the list of tags, but if you click on them, you get an "unhandled error" message. You can't click on them and get the entries with that tag on it.

ETA:: This is the case for me, anyway. If they are somehow magically working for you then I am jealous. :\

[alexwhitman25.livejournal.com]

A-HA! So you can still tag the entries, but you get an error when you click said tag to display all entries with that tag. I was confused and thought that it wouldn't display the tag when you tried to insert it in an entry.

And I have no magical powers since upon further investigation it is doing that for me as well. *sigh*
