[bubosquared]

*whacks things with sticks* Okay, So. I'm trying to convince LJ-Archive to export my entries, with comments, to XML so I can upload them to my on-site blog. It does this without complaint for mounthelicon and craftybrain, and will happily do so for bubosquared without comments, but trying to export bubosquared with comments makes it crash on July 2002. Now, granted, this is seven years worth of entries, plus comments, so maybe it's just choking on the sheer volume, but it keeps crashing on the same month, which makes me think it's something specific in that month that's causing the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Error/crash message I'm getting:

You'd really need to go back to the developer. There's enough there that it'll definitely tell them exactly what's braking it (looks like maybe a problem when it's generating the XML?) and maybe be able to give you a clue for working around it.

Good luck.
