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!

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.
