code update

[mark]

We just did a rather large code update, with something like 50 separate commits... that's a lot. This should fix a lot of issues we've been seeing.

As always, if you run into anything, please let us know! You're welcome to comment here, or open a support request to get some help.

Thank you!

The more different icons a person uses (by which I mean, uses some way on the site that causes the icon to be displayed), the more expensive it is to serve icons.

Many people with a paid account don't upload all of the icons they are alloted, and rarely use most of the ones they have uploaded. (Sometimes this is because their icon needs are fulfilled at 15, so they buy the paid account to get the extra icons, but they don't need all of the icons a paid account provides) and sometimes it's because they're actually interested in some other paid account feature (the last time I renewed on LJ, it was because I couldn't deal with not being able to expand comments or edit my own comments.)

In any case, a person who is paying for just the icons is going to (a) never be the sort of person who bought a paid account for something other than icons and (b) more likely to feel like they need to max out their icon slot, so as to feel they're getting their money's worth, especially if the a la carte icons were priced where they'd have to be realistically, as just about the same $ as a paid account.

You're welcome. I wouldn't have said anything if I had realized Mark had linked you to the FAQ, but what I said basically summarized the FAQ.

Thank you very much for updating the cross post dilemma I had with my LJ.
So far I haven't encountered anything yet.

Whee, my profile n ow shows my default userpic and not the first one I uploaded :)

Is there a handy dandy list somewhere of the fixes that were applied? I had a quick look on the wiki, but didn't see anything, unless I am missing it...

When I go to the subscribe or grant access page, there are two "add [name]" and "cancel" buttons, one pair above the tickybox to give them an alternate color on your reading page, and one pair below it. Not sure if this is a bug, but it wasn't like this yesterday.

[jeeps]

me too.

i'm using tropo red, and right around the time of the code push (i.e., i can't say for sure if that's what caused it), i noticed a light gray line appearing beneath the text of posts. i uploaded a screenshot here.

Yep, Firefox 3.5b4 here on Windows. It was fine previously.

[shanaqui]

Same problem. Firefly 3.0.10/Windows XP.

[pennyroyal]

Same here. Firefox and Safari on Mac OSX 10.5.6.

You're probably looking for something like changelog.

[forthwritten]

Can I ask what browser and operating system you're using? It might help work out what's going wrong.

[alittlebirdy]

thats exactly what I am looking for! thankyou. :D

[amara1783]

Thanks for fixing it so I could import comments! I know have both my LJ and IJ here on DW in their entirety. It's a great feeling :)

[jeeps]

i'm sorry. i'm using the latest version of firefox and windows xp.

Is there a possibility to change/chose how the tags are displayed? Before the update, my tag list showed how many times a tag was used (which was very useful for me) and now it's just a plain list with no numbers shown at all.

I see the same with Firefox 3.0.10 on Windows Vista Home Premium.

After looking at changelog

[susanreads]

Page summary fixed, hurrah!

I'm also having the problem with the backgroundless popups (Firefox 2.0.0.8, Windows XP).

I searched for "visited links", and found bug 1150, which refers to my support request; I know it's not just me that has that problem, I saw comments about it ... somewhere. I've tried using the "Custom CSS" and couldn't get it to work. Is there a how-to anywhere?

Will it always be necessary to look at changelog to find out whether a particular problem has been addrssed? A lot of it is a bit too technical for me.

This was a deliberate change with this code push. The buttons appear above and below the list of custom filters, mostly for people who have a lot of filters but may not want to add the person to any, so they can just click the top "Add" button rather than scrolling all the way down.

Not sure if this new or has been there for a while but I just tried embedding a video from Photobucket and only after I took the long way, posted it to LJ and copied the code it would show up in the entry. The 'not showing up before' also managed to cut off the rest of the entry.

But that's not all. When I went back to change a minor detail (like, correct a typo or change my userpic) it would do that again (cutting off everything starting with the videos). When I went back to check if I accidentally deleted something from the embed-tag I realized that the part that was cut off in the entry was cut off in the code of my entry, too.

I'm just glad I had the whole thing crossposted to LJ manually beforehand so I could copy the complete code. That brought back my complete entry but didn't stop it from being all messed up again after I had to edit it again (forgot to correct that type after all).

Seconding this. I also liked how the tags sorted into subcategories if you used colons in your tagging system. It might not be feasible to keep it that way but it was a nice feature for those of us who are, er, organizationally obsessed.

YES, that! Thanks for writing this...I didn't know how to explain this. That's the point where I really get to the limitations in my English.

[msilverstar]

Oh that sounds fabulous!!! *goes*

[ninetydegrees]

It is still available. In Customize Journal Style/Modules, make sure 'Type of tags display' is set to multilevel instead of list. The number of uses is back when you display tags this way too.

Edit: if you meant the tags page: link.
