We'll get back to getting the directory working tomorrow (hopefully, although brad might hit me if he wasn't planning on getting it working until later this week) or not.
We fixed some of the problems with the webserver software, as brad said before. So LJ should seem really fast from now on, and the rest of the bugs should be pretty thin to people using the site.
I'll apologize for the others and say sorry it took so long :) Deal with it ;)
