Code update

[mark]

Code was just updated. In particular, this update brings the alpha version (first release) of the crossposter tool. This release also brings a change to the way we do adult content to bring it more in line with our goals for the site. More information on the adult content change.

Please keep in mind that this is Closed Beta. As such, we're iterating quickly, and releasing early. There will be bugs, that's a promise.

Please let us know what issues you find so we can fix them up!

I'm attempting to cross-post to my LJ and it doesn't cross post. I have checked and I believe that I've setup correctly. I tried it 24 hours ago, edited about 23.5 hours ago, then posted a separate post about 1 hour ago all with no success. Other people are successful, so I may just have made a mistake somewhere - but the interface looks so easy (yay!) and I have been following the instructions (which are clear), so I'm wondering it it's a glitch?

Cross-posting to Inksome does not work. I don't get an error, the entry just does not appear (whereas on the other sites I tested for (LJ, JournalFen & InsaneJournal) the entry appeared pretty much instantly).

I have no idea what I did wrong, but there must have been something. I crossposted one of my entries to IJ (received no notification either) and when I tried to edit all the missing LJ-specific codes, I noticed that I can't edit them in. I can't delete the entry either, but I can change the tags.

Could this have something to do with the fact that the entry was marked as private?

replying to DW comments from inside yahoo email

Often I notice comments I want to respond to from my yahoo email. When I try to reply at the site, by using the button inside the yahoo email, I get to the DW comment form but I can't reply. I get the "your login cookie has expired" message. It won't let me log in from the comment form.

When I then go to the main DW page, or my page, my login is still there. I'm still logged in.

Just FYI.

Someone advised me to leave a comment discussing my adventures with the crossposter, so here goes!

1) The basic thing it needs to do -- x-post entries you've just written in DW over to LJ -- works beautifully. I also love that if you edit said entry, it will edit the entry on your LJ, too. Magical!

2) One issue, though: If you flock and filter the post, it will cross-post to LJ as flocked, NOT filtered. (I'm not sure if this is an issue with the x-poster, or because a lot of my DW filters are currently populated with OpenIDs, so it doesn't match the LJ filters exactly... Don't know.) Either way, DW users: if you have sensitive stuff that you only want a trusted, filtered few reading, it's better to x-post it as Private and fiddle with the security manually on LJ for now.

3) I decided to see if the x-poster would also work with editing older entries that have been imported from LJ. The answer is: sometimes?

- Sometimes, it would create a copy, on LJ, of the old post.

- Sometimes, the code would change and look all DW-y (extra tags at the line breaks, etc.) but the edits wouldn't take.

- Tags were never able to take.

Anyway, just FYI. It's a really awesome tool, though.

I set up my cross posting account (LJ) a couple days ago when this feature first came out. I posted tonight and while it defaulted to crosspost to my LJ while I was writing the entry, the post hasn't shown up on my LJ although it is posted in my DW journal.
