Welcome!
Welcome to the LiveJournal community support center. Listed below are some of the most frequent questions people ask. If you don't find what you're looking for, you can submit a support request below.

At any time, you are welcome to check out the status page LiveJournal maintains on a separate server.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Searching for communities by interest and the "find similar user" features have been temporarily disabled, due to database overload. Currently, Juno and NetZero email servers are blocking all LiveJournal email. Please do not open a new request about it; your continued patience is appreciated until this issue is resolved. You may wish to contact Juno's support department to let them know of the problem. Due to some new internal caching that happens on our site, some of your settings might not appear to update right away. Please wait a short while to see if they update before reporting the problem. Some users may experience problems editing or deleting memories that were made under the old database style. If you can't delete a memory that was made before February of 2002, that's the reason. The problem will be resolved as quickly as possible. The "checkfriends" protocol has been temporarily disabled for free users. There's a popular client that isn't obeying our protocol, and in doing so, it's spiking server load. It's been disabled until we can enforce the protocol limits. This means that your client's icon will no longer flash when your friends make an update, until this is re-enabled. Support volunteers cannot give out invite codes. If you are interested in creating a LiveJournal, you need to either know someone with an existing account, or you must create a paid account. The invitation codes are a solution to the massive popularity of livejournal.com, and if the policy ever changes, it will be announced in  news. Also: Once an invite code is used, it cannot be returned to you. Invite codes are a one-time-use only item.

Support Areas
Here are the three major things you can do here in the support area.
- Read the Frequently Asked Questions
Try and solve the problem first by yourself before asking other people. You'll probably get the answer faster, too!
- Ask a question
Is your question not in the FAQ? Click "Ask a question" and you can submit a new support request and somebody in the LiveJournal community will read it and get back to you with an answer. If they don't help you, your support request stays open until somebody does help and you confirm that your problem is solved.
- Help somebody out
Got some extra time on your hands? Help out a LiveJournal user that has an open support request. Users that help other users out will get "support points" that will show up on your userinfo page. There are multiple reasons for helping other users out:
- Just to be nice
- To get points just for fun and competition
