Code updates, importer fixes

[mark]

We've been pushing some code this weekend, if you weren't aware. There's a lot of stuff going on. But hopefully you will be running into fewer bugs now! There are still some outstanding patches for the crossposter that aren't in yet, so hang tight on that.

We have fixed (hopefully! needs testing!) the importer for people who have used a mass privacy editor on their journals. We've also fixed (again, needs testing) the ability to import entries and comments from multiple sources. (I.e., from both of your IJs, all six of your LJs, and the partridge in yonder pear tree.)

So in short: try out the importer! If you have problems, open a support request and I will dig into it.

In actual maintenance announcements, I will be performing some downtime-required maintenance on the site sometime today. I'm not going to put a time on this notice, since I'm not sure when it will happen. (I have some other things to finish first and it's a bit hectic around here.)

So far it's importing my entries with no errors... but I do have 8 years worth importing so it's still going. Where before I did get an error pretty quickly.

[UPDATE] Ok got some double posts since I cross posted from DW to LJ since the 17th. It imported those cross posts too. But other than that did well, took about 3 minutes for over 2000 entries and only 1 UTF error. Comments imported ok too (as openID, pretty neat).

Thanks for all your hard work! We appreciate it ^_^
