Tips and Tricks for New DearDiary.Net

BySteve July 5, 2012

If you’re struggling with the new system, not realising how much you can do with it, then fear no longer. One of our users (MissTick) has posted some tips and tricks and I just felt they really needed sharing!
At some point we will come up with some video tutorials which cover how to use the site in depth, particularly if you’re used to the old system. It can be quite a shock. But the stuff you can do with this new system is WAY more flexible than the old system. It just takes some getting used to.
Hopefully these tips and tricks will help you.

Server Move Likely Soon

BySteve February 6, 2015

Hey all, It’s very likely that the DearDiary.Net server will switch to use Google AppEngine since this now supports PHP and the DD.Net is all in PHP. The database is quite large however and there will be a bit of downtime while it’s all copied across and while the nameservices catch up. I don’t have…

New Users Note

BySteve July 27, 2012

If your diary exists and contains links to businesses, and appears to have been setup purely for business purposes, it’s not welcome here. This is a diary site. Not a blog site. It’s intention is for you to chronicle your daily life and let others share your experiences. I don’t know how to be any…

Server Move Cancelled

BySteve February 15, 2015

The server won’t be moving now – I have found that the database is way too big to move to Google AppEngine and I’ve tracked down one of the reasons why it was running so slow and eliminated that. I am aware there is some weirdness going on that requires investigation such as some pages…
