The thing about Livejournal right now is that I'm tired of fighting it.

I'm tired of having to change my settings all the time to keep track of features being enabled or disabled. I'm tired of having to constantly research how to use the site, and then having to research everything again as it changes. I'm tired of the drama. I'm tired of having

Wait, Dwth's working on comm imports? Info linky, please? I thought they weren't going to because the intellectual property rights issues were a bit insurmountable. (That was a year or more ago that I thought I read that, though.)

Apparently they surmounted that -- it was on their Twitter! :D

1 queue for both personal/community imports, first come first served. Mark's been working on it for a bit, hopefully ready soon.

Nope, we'd like to do that! We're doing community imports first but will get to extra icons soon.

We create OpenID accounts for imported content. That way, the original owner can still log in and control their content.

subject lines yay

I was pointed here as a result of asking about comm imports on DW.

I did a round-up post of actual fixes and workaround (raemia's post is mostly where to go for the drama (of which I am more than tired) but doesn't have as much specific information on doing the workarounds). Even with a Basic account, if you use one of the layouts that allow for the custom commenting pages, supposedly you'll get your comment features back. For now. I listed three specific layout families that all have the custom pages, and I know of several people with Plus accounts who retained their commenting.

But I'm tired too, and fed up. I really hope DW enables comm imports; with LJ doing all their PR for them, they're in a very good position right now! I also really hope some of the new wave of people can do DW journal layout designs that aren't hideous.

subject lines are awesome.

Hiya! Yup, everything I know about that is in those three tweets linked right above. And I am pretty darned excited, since aside from everything else having my accounts backed up to Dreamwidth has been wonderful for my peace of mind during the numerous downtimes this year.

I've been staying on my single paid rp account, viewing everything in its style, and just 'commenting as another user' to be able to sneak my subject lines in and read long threads from the middle. But thank you! I'll look into those, particularly since I don't want to upgrade this account to plus. (It's on an Expressive layout, but as you can see it isn't giving me a custom comment page at basic level.)

The 'for now' and the drama just really burn me out, y'know? Wherever the chips fall, there's bound to be some good designers migrating over with this wave. It's definitely something to look forward to.

gratuitous use of subject line

Well, I just put in a couple of suggestions on the DW suggestions board -- and I've offered to pay for a year's Paid account for any designer who'll do a layout for me that I like, as long as the layout is made available to DW in general. So if you know anyone who knows any designers, pass that along . . .

this calls for... a subject line!

[infiniteviking]

Sounds great! I dunno if I know any, but will be poking around later to get layouts for my rp journals and will pass that along if I meet someone. :) Good luck!

Finding all these changes on my return, I'm now trawling through my flist to add people on Dreamwidth. So this is me popping up late to say I've added you on Dreamwidth.

[infiniteviking]

Huzzah! I'll be adding you back when I get things sorted out.
