Thank you for putting in the time to fix the validations. I really appreciate that! I just have one question, the names being given out, will the ones who were now able to validate still be on that list, or are we safe now?

Hi Liv,

We won't be running the lists until the end of the month, so as long its validated by then you're fine.

Hey! First off, great job on fixing validations! Rock on.

Second! I registered the username amelias last night, as well as donated $40 and asked to have it, along with some other u/ns paid. When I tried logging in this morning, the username was gone, deleted, disappeared--whatever you want to call it, it wasn't there. I re-registered it, but I was wondering if I could get the paid status put back on it? I still have the PayPal receipt with the usernames in it, so I can forward you that if need be.

Thanks!

Uuuh, that's really really weird...I remember setting them, so you want amelias to be paid status? I can definitely do that, just let me know :)

Thanks for the update! It's so nice to hear actually responses to problems, your work is much appreciated. :)

Hehe yeah, I try to post updates to issues. It's probably not right to leave you all hanging.

I definitely don't mind donating to a site we actually get feedback from. You're doing a great job with the site and when I get paid, I'm definitely donating!

Awesome, it'd be much appreciated!!

Jimmy, again, you rock. I love how much you are keeping us up to date on stuff. As soon as I get paid, I'll donate, but the whole pesky issue of gas has to be taken care of first. Woe is me with vehicles. I think it's great. I do have a suggestion to help with loading icons if it'd be possible. Could you ever do pages? Like ten or twenty icons on a page? With paid accounts and a 1000 icons, I'd imagine that is a huge strain on the server to load all of them at once?

Yeah it definitely is a strain, I will have to look into pagination. It's probably the one of the biggest strain on the servers. Either that or I'd like to figure out how to get them hosted on a faster server.

I get all excited every time I see actual updates, I just want to dance. Jimmy for president '08.

Hahah oooh I hate politics, if I was president...hrmm, I shouldn't start dreaming :P

Wow, I love you already. I would totally donate, if I had a means with which to do it...but I don't. :( Sorry!

However, I friended you! I saw a few similar interests in there somewhere. You seem like a cool guy either way. :)

Awesome, I'll friend you back!

JIMBO! [thats me saying that as if we're boys from way back when] I've been looking at billions of places for an alternative to GJ and I only been snooping around this site for an hour and I have to say that I've NEVER felt more compelled to donate to anything.

Which I will, as soon as I figure out paypal. I'd rather send you a money order if thats any and all possible though. I'll even try and get my friends to contribute [I have a lot of friends in a gaming community I run on GJ, which I'll be bringing them all over to this site pretty soon so you could most likely look forward to their donations as well]

Two quick questions though! In the donations section after listing various amounts of money, I read `you can set up to [X number of] accounts to be of paid status.` What's that mean, exactly? And do you think we'd have a multiple icon uploader any time soon?

Okay, a good way of explaining it is like so,
Say I have 5 accounts. I donate $20 - 39, and then give him the name of my accounts. All are set to paid account status. Instead of paying (insert fee here) for every one of them like you would on Livejournal and similar websites.

Also, I've been reading around and apparently if you donate, you can also ask for a friend's account to be of paid account status with some of the money you have donated.

I actually made a multiple icon uploader. If Jimmy doesn't mind, I'd be happy to share it with everyone :)

Butting in here! If you have the icon uploader that was floating around Greatestjournal, it works here, too. Just edit the .bat file in Notepad or whatever.

Hey bud,

Donations are much appreciated! :D I could accept a money order I think, if you would like to go that route, let me know although PayPal is much more preferred.

Gaming eh? What kinda gaming?

Lets say you donate $25, you are entitled to upgrading 5 accounts to paid status. They could be yours or your friends.

I've got a multiple icon uploader in the works, it's definitely coming, so be on the lookout!

Thanks!

Oh! And I was just informed that even if I donate or not, then my accounts only last for a certain amount of time. .. That true? 'cause if it does, that reallyreallyreally blows.

perhaps?

I don't think he's really decided to delete inactive accounts just yet though? He'd be better at answering that however.

I'm not sure if you addressed this anywhere before, buuuuut I was wondering about paid accounts? I'm planning to donate when after payday XD but what are the benefits of having a paid account? Are we allowed to have more than one account listed as paid depending on the size of our donations? Thanks in advance, and thanks for taking the time to answer to everyone!

Yes.


What are the benefits of having a paid account?

Don't know the full benefits, however..
http://www.scribbld.net/users/news/1589.html?thread=11829#t11829
"Paid accounts should receive 50 codes (that might be 50 codes per month but we'll have to see when 1 month comes around (to see if the code that generates them is setup properly)."

Codes as in, invite codes.

Hi,

I'm new to scribbld but loving it already. I DID get a validation email and clicked the link yada yada...that's all fine.

However, I'm NOT getting email notifications when someone leaves a comment on my posts. Is there a reason why?

Hi uhm... I don't know if this is the right place to do this but a bunch of my friends and myself were invited to create accounts today and we made them all... yet as far as I know, I'm the only one who didn't received a validation email within minutes of creating my account. I clicked on the link you provided above a couple of times but still no sign of one. In the end, I had to change my email address from a hotmail account to a gmail account in order to receive a validation email. Is this a known problem for other hotmail users or am I just the lucky one?

Also, we seem to have a few similiar interests and a mutual friend as well!

Sounds like it's just you as of right now.

Ah, really, thank you so much for keeping us informed about everything. You rock a whole lot!

Hey Jimmy, really sorry for being a pain, but I just created a journal (baddock) and I'm not getting the validation email. Even after I clicked on that link up there :/ Help, please?
