There are rumours of problems with the new LJ GUI today.
Apparently if you put in a cut, and post, and then edit, the end cut tag is moved to immediately after the opening tag, thereby not putting your content behind the cut.

I had to ring up Barclaycard (a UK credit card company) today – that was bad enough. I got a message because it was out of hours and their tomfool website didn’t indicate the opening hours of this so-called Customer Service line – ANYWAY I thought I’d give it a shot and wasn’t surprised [...]
