Code push done!

If you notice anything wrong, let us know in the comments to this post.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be over here, selecting new featured themes using my nifty new tools that came in with this push ;-)

O Amazing Fu,
Not actually related to the code push ... I have a question.
I know that when renaming a journal, one can elect to have the old name redirect permanently to the new name. I have a slightly different question. If I have two accounts¹, but I'm finding I only really use one but still want people to be able to find me by the other username, is there any way to merge two journals, discarding duplicate imports, and keep one as a redirect to the other?

Another question that occurs to me in this case - how does redirecting of usernames affect access granted from, or to, the redirected username?


[1] Both free at the moment, barring a couple of months of paid time that some kind soul gave me anonymously; but I HAZ A JOB AND MUNNIEZ!, and will be making one a paid account Real Soon Now. (Probably today, actually, now that I've remembered to do so.)

O Kindest of Kind Sirs,

1.) Nope, not possible to merge two journals. I remember we had a suggestion about it, but I don't remember whether it was migrated or rejected

2.) (Assuming no merge): If you rename A (username: apple) to B (username:banana), your user A will now have the username banana, but will still retain all the friends from when they were called apple.

B will be called ex_banana123, and will retain all friends from when they were banana.

(There are options to break the ties, but to keep things simple...)

Thanks, I didn't know whether it was possible or not.

(Testing to see whether reply-by-mail is working from Thunderbird now, as the thought occurs to me...)

and no, BTW, it wasn't.

*nods* IIRC, Thunderbird is one of the mail applications which doesn't allow POSTs to be done from within an email, and strips those out as a security measure.

That would certainly explain it.
