Read only mode

Why do I get the following message each time I try and post (and it's been quite a few now)?

Read-only mode
This journal is in read-only mode right now while database maintenance is performed on the server where the journal is located. Try again in several minutes.

[though ironically it didn't do it this time!]

LJ sometimes do this - they shut things down to do maintenance and it sometimes takes a while. I think there was a Saturday a few weeks ago when it was down for a whole 24 hours.

It's annoying, but I guess it has to be done...
