New Account Types & More...

Hello everyone,

I've added 3 new account types. I explained it in detail in [info]system but briefly:

Anyone who donated and helped us get that new server is under the account type 'Special Early Donator', you didn't loose anything (userpics, styles...etc...) we just changed what you're called. Paid Account types are going to be used for anyone who wants to purchase one now, and we've created 2 new account types which include 100 or 200 userpics. We're still working on pricing but I should be done with it by the end of the weekend.

The new server is working wonderfully. I've not had to do reboots or go without sleep for multiple days because I am worried about them crashing. It's really working out wonderfully, so thanks to everyone who donated!

I am also working on getting rename tokens working, that too might be available by the end of the weekend.

If anyone knows a lot about how the S2 style system works, please leave a comment, especially if you know if it's possible for someone to create an S2 style and make it public so anyone can use it. Basically it would be neat to hold a contest and award the top 5 designs (or something) with Paid Accounts or some other nifty prize. So yeeeeah, let me know if you're an S2 guru!

Within rename tokens. I was wondering if you'd be able to delete a journal you already have and then just switch over to another and rename to that account name of which you just deleted or if you'd have to wait for a month for the journal you delete to be purged from the system?

If you own both accounts and they both have the same email on you can just rename it without deleting.

I really don't know. I'm looking into the rename tokens and how they can work. [info]kratos is probably right, but I will post up a definitive answer in due time :)

Some of the code at LJ is free for use. I've been able to create my own layers and use the Smooth Sailing and Flexible Squares. I haven't looked at being able to make them public - they're just the basic style and you use the CSS code to override the layout (change the color, placement, etc).

Just from what I've played with, I think enabling styles for s2 would need to be on your side, other than sharing codes and following tutorials.

You can make S2 styles public. On LJ, you simply put this line of code into the top layer of your style:

layerinfo is_public = 1;

This line also makes the source viewable to others:

layerinfo source_viewable = 1;

For others to be able to use the style, they just need to set their journal to the proper style (Smooth Sailing, etc) and then input the public layer ID on the customization page.

First off, thanks for the updates. :) It's good to know that this site is starting off on the right foot.

Also, I would be all over a permanent account if you offered it for $40 like they do at Insane Journal. Just thought I'd throw that out there. ^.~

Currently permanent accounts aren't on sale. We'll post up a news article when they are! :)

hi there, this has nothing to do with your post here but i thought id make a suggestion. im currently using the default site scheme and ive noticed that there is no blatant link to my journal on the homepage. i have to go to another page just to find the link to my journal just so i can view it or i have to click "recent". this is a little annoying. so i was wondering if you could put some kind of link where it says "Hello username" in the navigation side bar? that would be very helpful :) I realise there's already a link that says "recent" that will just take you straight to your journal, but some people may not even think to click this at all... maybe you could rename that link or just put another one somewhere. thanks for reading!

Nice work with everything! I like the new layout, but
where is the 'username search' box? :[ I use it constantly.

Agreed. The new layout is cool, but a search box would be super convenient.

About a year ago I made a S2 layout so I know a little of how the system works, at least customize the code, if I can help let me know :)

i found emails from when i made journals here, and whenever i tried to validate them it said validation code invalid and i couldn't get the password sent. am i screwed pretty much? haha

That's because the emails are probably over seven days old, you'd need another validation email sent.

If you type the name(s) into this page:

http://www.scribbld.net/lostinfo.bml

You should get an email for resetting your password but there should also be a link for validating your email again.

Of course it depends how long ago you created them, if they weren't validated by 4th of January then they may have been given away.

Just a quick note: you meant 'lose' up in the first full paragraph, not 'loose.'
