Search Again
I’ve linked the Search button on the front page to go directly and easily to the relevant Google query boxes… Hopefully the result isn’t too bad. I’m not happy about it, but there’s not much I can do.

Spurious comment error
BySteve
It seems that the adult verification system caused an unexpected side effect. In order to remember which diary you were visiting when you hit a page that needs an adult ID, we store the diary name in a cookie. Unfortunately, by default, PHP (which the new secure comments system is written in) reads cookies and…
Steve's take on GIF's
BySteve
GIF’s are not likely to ever be supported on the album, as the software we use will not deal with GIF’s at all. There’s some interesting political reasons for this, but that basis of it all was that originally Compuserve came up with the GIF image format and spread it all over the place. Unisys,…
Update on the 'performance tweak'
BySteve
The performance tweak I made to the DD codebase WILL have made it look like your diary is missing some entries if you have over 250 entries in your diary. Don’t panic, all the entries are still there and I shall be investigating a better way to ensure that DD can still see all your…
Becomings Question
BySteve
First, the observation: When people commented on my private entry, unless they clicked ‘private’ the comment appears on the login screen for the entry for anyone to read, even non Dear Diary members. I wonder if comments on a ‘for friends’ entry could default to private? Unfortunately that would require a major rewrite of the…
Planned Downtime

We are moving the deardiary.net server onto a machine thats got faster hard disks and more of them… In theory this shouldn’t take long, but we all know the wild difference between theory and practise 😉 So. A heads up, the site will be going down fairly shortly (once I am satisfied that other sites…
it is okay, please dont worry yourself over it, x x x
That explains why I was getting all kinds of bizarre errors when I’d try and access pages! You were playing around! 🙂 Glad to report that I didn’t lose any entries though!! 😛
That being the case, do not feel compelled to respond to me personally regarding the errors I’ve been getting. You have you hands full, from the sounds of it.
Good to know… we can still search for entries containing "ficus", "landmasses" and "Crest Toothpaste Kids" with the greatest of eases. Keep up the good work.

I can’t believe that he’s really given up. Trust me folks…..I don’t think we’ve heard the last of this. He’s a glutten for punishment and will keep thinking of a way to make it work properly. It may not be in the next week or so…but it will happen. He’s smarter than the computer…but not as square. 🙂
Is it just my webtv or is your site messed up this afternoon (in America)? It is only showing the first 4 or 5 diaries on the "most recent" diary things and then thats it, nothing else on the main page shows up. just thought I’d ask.
just out of curiousity…on the page that shows the recently updated diaries (by 24hrs, etc…) is the total count of entries include private ones? Reason I’m asking is that I’ve made a bunch of them private over the course of the past week or so and just posted an entry to see if it would update the count…which isn’t decreasing. Thanks a lot for your time and help 🙂

P.S. Not to worry . . . we know you are doing your best.
Um, I was fine with the change to search, but now I’m finding it hard to locate certain diaries. Not all will come up with the actual diary when I enter a name. Most have, but there’s this one diary I can’t locate and I want to subscribe or add it to my list so I won’t continue to have this problem.
If I should direct this problem elsewhere, please let me know. Otherwise, you’re doing a fine job, thanks. 😉
I know you’re trying hard and all, but the google search is broad, very broad…i’ve been searching for a diary for the last half hour and have only come up with comments that person has left in diaries…i know right now there’s not much you can do, but i guess i just wanted to alert you of the problem, have a nice day….

Glutton for punishment? Isn’t this supposed to be the season for being a glutton of food, candy, drink, presents, and happy schmappy times? Hey we know you do far more for us whiners. Give yourself a present and let it rest till next year. 🙂
I don’t mind doing searches the hard way. I find lots of interesting things along the way.
