Labyrinths Questions
Thu Sep 30 2004

1.) My graphics and button designs aren't showing up.:((( All I see are squares with x's.

You'll need to login to your diary and go to customize and change the userdata.sorted/L/a/b to be userdata.sorted/l/a/b as I have decapitalized all the directory names. Unfortunately I had to do that because Windows is not case sensitive and so it had placed some people in directories with capital even though their names were all lower case - and vice-versa. You're actually using the images in a way that isn't officially supported (but I shan't worry about that for now) hence why unfortunately you'll need to login yourself and do it... I ran a script to convert all the official ways (ie, using customizer rather than hardcoding your own HTML).

I notice though that your reader comment options on your diary have no images at all - is that what you would expect?


2.) My password is rejected on some diaries I tried to comment to. And I have attempted not less than three times.

Hmmm, I have successfully left reader comments for people at different diaries. Don't forget that passwords are case sensitive and so Hello is not the same as hello. When you login to your diary to make an entry, are you prompted for your password or is your browser automatically filling it in?

Please reply to these questions by mailing me at [email protected] rather than via here, as not everyone wants to see this :)

Steve.

    I dunno if this is "area wide," but I clicked "Random Entry" on my diary out of morbid curiosity.. Call it boredom. Anyway, an entries page popped up but the titles didn't line up with the proper entries. It happens whenever I click random entry. Obviously not a support issue, and I'm not overly concerned with it. When I click onto an entry via the index link then it works fine.. I just thought I'd mention it in case it points to a potentially larger issue.

    I'm having the same issues with graphics that Labyrinth is. I tried to follow the instructions that you gave her but once I get to customize I don't know where to go to fix it.

    There's no place for me to manipulate the actual graphics codes.

    I seem to have a very elongated entry footer. And when veiwed in Firefox, there are blue edges around the different sections.

    Januarygirl, actually that Random entry problem is one I noticed about 3 years ago in my miraclewhip diary.

    One of the title-entry mixups was pretty funny, but embarrassing! And the Randomness of the Universe (or at least of the Random entry generator) must have a pretty quirky sense of humor, because it KEPT on coming up most of the time when I hit Random!

    I'm pretty sure I entered the problem in the problem log back then, and then I took the Random Entry feature off my diary through the Customizer.

    I think you are doing a wonderful job Steve, I guess we all have to remember that the whole purpose of doing this move is to improve things for people and also the Linux server was more compatible with all the features you want to add to the Plus users accounts.

    It will take some time to sort things out - in the end things will be running MUCH better than they have been - finally all the changes you have been talking about over the years are now being put in place and as you are doing it ALL BY YOURSELF, everyone just needs to be patient and understand everything will be MUCH better in the end ;)

    Cheers and thanks for the hard work! (Especially since you don't get paid to put in all these hours)

    PS: Non Plus users should keep clicking DD ads and help keep DD afloat! :D
