Do you guys think an open post inviting people to ask questions about Dreamwidth/how to use it would be welcome or get any traffic? I was answering questions about it on Plurk for most of yesterday, so it just occurred to me I could probably be helpful to other people too, being that I've been here a long time.

Okay here we go!

LJ fuckery update

[(Anonymous)]

LJ now made it so even the minimalist or custom styles only show the new comment page. yes, even when you have the "disable custom comments page" switched to yes.

F... fight, RPers! Even though it's pretty obvious lj wants it's way no matter what!

look what this is

Screw that, COME TO DREAMWIDTH. WE HAVE COOKIES AND SUBJECT HEADERS.

Question to someone who knows profile codes

[luciazephyr]

So we've all noticed that DW's bio page doesn't support profile codes very will. I'd like to send a message to the suggestion queue to see if this can be fixed. Does anyone understand the table codes well enough to know how I should phrase this suggestion? I usually just copy-paste from the lovely people who share theirs out.

Re: Question to someone who knows profile codes

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not an expert on table codes, but someone here stated that Dreamwidth has trouble with profile codes that are stacked horizontally instead of vertical.

A problem I had here are when I tried to use a profile code with colored bars (E.g. http://asterfall.livejournal.com/24621.html & http://refuted.livejournal.com/17535.html), the bars were not visible.

guys, please check your accounts.

[baldr]

there are increasing reports of old lj accounts being switched from manual to automatic payments. to check, please click this link.

Re: guys, please check your accounts.

[(Anonymous)]

not one of those who have a paid account but, I-- just what.

I'm not familiar with America's laws, but someone please tell me that's breaking a law somewhere.

[(Anonymous)]

are there any games on lj that are deciding to move to ij or dw yet, or at least discussing it? I think I've heard Asgard is holding a poll on it.

[(Anonymous)]

i think gargleblasted is discussing it

[(Anonymous)]

rpanoncomm is being annoying

i'll be over here for the duration

if that means i'm on a high horse well then giddy up

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you, anon. YEE-HAW!

[(Anonymous)]

OKAY, SO. Is anyone making any DW games? I'd like to know if there are more options coming, or if I should just focus on the games already here.

LJ => DW FAQ Post

[murdering]

I'm working on a detailed FAQ post for people working on moving their rp lives over here, and I was wondering if you discerning anons would be willing to give me your dw questions that need answering.

My current progress on this is over here, complete with a table of price comparisons between DW and LJ and the import tutorial I made earlier this week. I want to make this as comprehensive (and useful) as possible, so your input would be greatly appreciated!

Re: LJ => DW FAQ Post

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for making this! It's nice to have them in one place. btw, your Import Content link is broken.

DREAMWIDTH SUGGESTIONS?

[(Anonymous)]

What should we suggest?

Re: DREAMWIDTH SUGGESTIONS?

[(Anonymous)]

I saw a post somewhere where the DW admin explain why they can't really do an icon only upgrade system. It all really makes sense. But I wonder if there's a way to have a smaller paid account package? One that offers some of the paid account features and more than 15 but less than 100 icons for a cheaper price.

$35 is just more than a lot of people pay for a LJ account and many hesitate to move here because the cost is high with no middle ground option.

TEA

It seems like an appropriate thread for a zen meme like this one.

Any favorites, anons? Suggestions? I want to give matcha a try, but it's so expensive. ;_;

Re: TEA

Loose-leaf tea, my god. I have a mango white tea and passionfruit oolong that I'm having an affair with right now.

[sergal]

[sergal]

oops i guess im not afraid to show that i love the qts over here.

this is really fascinating and I think worth a read for people comparing DW and LJ and worrying about where the two are going right now

[(Anonymous)]

is anyone else having problems with LJ Login on DW? yesterday when I set up all accounts on it, everything was fine. Today every account is throwing me Login failed: Invalid password error... :\

[luciazephyr]

Try the LJ Juggler plug-in instead (I think that's what its called). Works much better, IMO.

So anons, check this out

Here are the 8 most registration-heavy days for Dreamwidth
From http://www.dreamwidth.org/stats/stats.txt

newbyday        2009-05-01      54663  #1
newbyday        2009-05-02      34739  #2
newbyday        2009-05-03      34569  #3

newbyday        2011-04-07      22136  #7

So for the 21st (#8) and 22nd (#4), there have been 56160 registrations in all. That's 1497 more than May 1st, 2001 (#1). Who knows how many new accounts there will be for the 23rd? Or for the rest of the year?

What do you think about this, anons?

Re: So anons, check this out

DW should send LJ a cake shaped decorated with LJ logo and/or Frank.

venting.

[(Anonymous)]

Slowly realizing how rude and dismissive some people are being because of this whole "possibly moving/moving to dw" conversation. I've had a few people on plurk straight out tell me to my face that anyone who is even considering moving is being unreasonable, dramatic, hot headed, or doing some sort of knee jerk reaction. No, I have not made a dramatic plurk or a plurk saying/having the contents of, "screw lj i'm leaving forever for precious dw!" or "lj sux bye!"

As someone who found an account of theirs set to automatic payments (luckily no money was withdrawn.) and then told, "you must have changed it at sometime." or "it must be a browser problem." has been the last straw for me. I do not care about the layout personally, but ignoring how people who have conditions that could be triggered by the layout needs to be considered. Also, yes, sometimes these little things like subject lines do make a difference.

I'm sick of seeing the amount of stanning LJ is getting by the same people it's being rude to and outright ignoring. LJ RP isn't all of LJ, but why should I be mocked when I am not happy with service I pay for? If I didn't like how my car insurance treated me, and I was privileged enough to switch, I would try to find one that suits my needs the most. I'm not telling you to leave with me or condemning you, I just rather not use a service that has not worked for me. If you find the changes fine, then that is great (not sarcastic.!) and I'm glad you can enjoy the new layout and its features.

Do not call me or my friends whiny bitches who are being dramatic for considering or have decided to move to DW. Yes, some people were a bit dramatic, but that's because LJ was very important to them. LJ has attachment to these people, and sometimes it's not easy to leave. RP will always have those few dramatic people, but for the most part people have been sane. Most people are NOT leaving because of the new layout looks ugly. While some would, it's rude to assume such things. The issue with subject titles is complicated, but assuming it's the root cause for all the anger, tension, etc. is just ignoring the past.

I never got mad at LJ for its DDoS attacks. I never blamed the Russian livejournal base and LJ itself. I never thought LJ preferred its Russian speaking base over its English speaking one. The fact is LJ has a different mission from what it originally started out as. This is totally okay, and I do not mind this! It's sad, but I am not angry LJ has done this. I am sad because it no longer fits in what I want and need.

This is why I want to move to DW and have started to. Now please stop making rude comments to me on plurk and in various mod posts that discuss moving to dw.
