Third time's the charm. Which is to say, my LJ exported to DW the third time I tried the 'import content' function. Except the comments didn't Import. Have tried to reimport twice, and as before with the entries, I get an 'import failed' message. I also get duplicated entries from 2015 onwards when I started cross-posting. Not sure if I'll try for a third time with comments, and if those fail again I shall. in my OCD fashion, go through and delete the duplicates. I'm grateful to have my entries, but reading without comments is like missing the frosting on the cake. Let's just hope Russia stays on the net. Or comes back to the net, whichever.

Alas, LJ archive only works with desktops and laptops, not tablets, and my desktop is too old for the app. Or rather, it gives me a nanny 'cannot provide a secure connection' message. Probably it could, but as it has computer dementia (all those clock errors) it thinks it can't.

Speaking of memory errors, I've been having minor glitches in mine. Like not taking my lens out Monday night and not positioning my walker by the bed last night. These are automatic things I do before going to bed, and maybe I forgot simply because they're automatic and I was being distracted by the pervasive ear worm of We Don't Talk About Bruno. (cough) But this morning, seeing my walker on the other side of the room, I had to get out of bed without it and-- my knees and hips did not go into spasm as they usually do? Which is encouraging except that they more than made up for it during the rest of the day, and that with a massage this afternoon.

Gas bill came today, for slightly more than last month's heart-stopper. Yes, well, the markets. But what surprised me was that I used only slightly less gas in February than in January. when I was sure I'd turned the thermostat down more often. Seems to me that I never turned it down at all in that first month. But heigh-ho, we are in the end times, so let's spend what money we have on comfort.

Re LJ Archive you to use http://www.livejournal.com NOT https which is what shows up on the toolbar as the link to LJ. The software is very old and throws up odd errors, but ignore them.

LJ Archive also no longer downloads comments, due to recent changes to LJ's servers, which may be why they're not importing to DW.

I was using DW's own import function which lets you import comments, but will only do it after entries have downloaded, and it's entries that tend to fail. This may just be a volume problem, of too many people using it at once. Maybe it'll work when the furor dies down-- assuming LJ is still online then. But thank you for your help. I'm nearly as techno-illiterate as popular culture assumes my age group to be.

Ugh, now I will have to check and see if mine duplicated posts as well.

Comments have never, ever imported to DW for me.
I've imported three times by now, the earliest time being back in 2016, and it just never happens. I don't know why.

You were using DW's import function? It seems that anything on the LJ end has never imported comments, but DW promises it will, and then doesn't.
