It is a sad day for DearDiary and many of our readers. We've been advised that Pragmatist, one of our long time diarists, has passed away in her sleep overnight. I've personally had interactions with Pragmatist through the support e-mail address and she was a lovely lady who will be missed by many. For those…
Greetings all, I'm sorry to have to announce that there'll be another server move shortly. The good news for most users is that the DD server will be returning to the US with this move, which should improve response times for those users.

This should improve things a fair bit, and yes, Salamander, that's exactly right – the server would have been sending back a 'Not Modified' header which indicates to your…
