Code updates, importer fixes

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.)

Your poor four icons!

We improved some of the error messages around icon failures -- did you get any specific error messages in your inbox?

I did, but I trashed it, sorry! ::facepalm:: I will try the import again and report back if there are special error messages.

Ah, now I remember why I trashed it.

Here's the error message in full:

"A status update about your import.
Unknown status update."

Is that remotely helpful?

Can you do me one more favor? Can you delete the icons on DW and try importing one more time? That'll settle whether or not it was the one bug or the other bug. *g*

Clarification: should I delete all my icons, or just the ones that aren't coming over?
