Cancelling Writing
This is a small and simple one (thanks to the diarist who pointed it out). On the write an entry screen, there’s a Cancel button. Which is fine. Unless you click it when you meant to click Save.
It’s never happened to me, but since I’m not the swiftest person it was bound to sooner or later.
So somebody suggested a confirmation message for that button, in case you didn’t really mean it. And so there is. That’s the kind of programming chore I like – sixty seconds of work, and someday it will make someone happy.
Hope you’re all having a fine weekend,
The DiaryMaster
I’ve done that before, thanks for the 60 seconds of programming.

Alright… I dont know what Im really doing…. but I really need to talk to someone about something that happened on this site… so will you please get ahold of me. Its really important… but leave it as a private note please.

This is a terrific idea! I think a few of my faves might have needed it recently.
Warning Comment
Sorry, I don’t know if you prefer questions & such in e-mail form or note form. I just wanted to ask two things. Can there be a suggestion box/forum? And about setting the diary to favorites: on errormessage.asp?message=41, can there be a button/link that a signed in diarist can click on so it submits that diarists name to the author, to let the author know someone wants to be on their favs?
Warning Comment
Awesome idea…

Can you create like a counter for the diary entry? Because I never know how much room I have left, and when I click Save, it say’s I have too many characters. I don’t know how much is too much.
Warning Comment
Hey, good for you! Never like reading those entries where diarists lost their writing. Glad you did something to help : ) Hope your Holidays are wonderful. Hugs
Warning Comment
Thanks!! This will probably help in later screw ups, but it’s not exactly what I meant. Was wondering if there was a way to delete an entry made in a circle after it’s already been posted. Have a great weekend.

That’s such a great idea. I don’t know how many times I’ve accidentally hit the cancel button. Thanks.

Thanks for your work. Love this site. Been here since 99 off and on, always find my way back.

Ah, bless your soul. I don’t know how many times i’ve accidently hit that button and not meant to…

LOL You should call it the Lupus button or the Fibro Fog button hehe! It is for people like me who sometimes cant think clearly! O.k. O.k. I can NEVER think clearly! LOL So thanks 😉

Yeah! I know I have done that a couple times! 🙂

thank you! and thanks for pointing out the cancel button. i’m so sharp, i never even noticed it.

Bonjour Mosieur le Diarymaster, i was just wondering if there was anything you could do about the pop-up ads? because they seem to be getting more and more out of control. i think you shouldn’t allow those fake pop-ups that tell you that you have a virus when you really don’t…and is there any way that i could upgrade to od plus without a credit card?
Warning Comment
p.s. i know this is your diabolically evil plan, allow to popup adds to get progressively more out of control until people are just too annoyed with them to put up with it anymore and end up paying you the measly 25 buck. which i would pay if i didnt have to have a credit card. your site rocks, i could give you some pointers if you want to strengthen your security

Can you possibly make a feature where we can block private diaries??
Warning Comment
Awesome!
Warning Comment
Eeek! I love you, I just did that the other day when I was exhausted, and proceeded to bang my head on the desk out of frustration. <3
Warning Comment
YAY!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!! This is a wonderful idea for spazzes like myself who have stupid moments and hit cancel instead of save! Thank you so much; it’ll save a lot of aggravation (and hardware because last time it happened I think I sent my ‘puter flying through the window… *winks*) Thanks bunches,

Ahh what a good idea! That’s good, because I’m an idiot and always click the wrong things…

I think we need a button on the menu that takes us to the Open Diary Home Page. When I am reading someones diary and I just want to go to the homepage…I really can’t. Just a suggestion. =)
Warning Comment
That’s cool! Thanks! that reminds me though, is there some way that you can edit notes after you’ve saved them? If not, can you make something like that? A lot of times i remember something i wanted to write in the note after i’ve already saved it, or I decide that i didn’t want to say something that way… Thanks! -m-
Warning Comment
haha thanks. i am such an air head i always do that!
Warning Comment
hey dm? you know how you made the ‘favorite of’ feature? can you make a ‘blocked by…’ feature, too? cause, if I don’t know someone, but they have me blocked, I think it’d only be fair for me to know they’ve got me blocked, and be able to block them, too. does that make sense? just a suggestion
Warning Comment
You know what else would be nifty? A thing asking in you are sure that you want to delete notes.
Warning Comment
I’d be the type that would need that feature. Thanks Much!
Warning Comment
i have a quick question. on the 7500 word limit… is there a counter? how do you know you are close to the limit before you try to save? thanks!!
Warning Comment
heh i feel bad for whoever typed up a long note and hit the cancel button. Sorry for whoever you are out there.

Hey DM–Just got back from a long weekend, and lo, what do I see, but a “Frugal Living” circle. WHEEEE! Thanks, man. Have a happy holiday. May your eggnog be just the way you like it (assuming, that is, that you DO like it) and all your presents just the ones you wanted.

i’m just curious how many people try to hit on the diarymaster. no need to reply if u dont want to.
Warning Comment
i tried to find what exactly the e-mail address was, but it seems as though you’ve taken them down off your diary & the front page so i’m going to ask this here instead. is there some way you could do something to sort of compensate both sides of the favorites only feature? i keep trying to just go around the site, but i can’t because at least half the site is on faves only. somehow i just (C)
Warning Comment
(C) don’t understand how you could make a site to bring people around the world together & then introduce a sort of mean spirited feature to push people apart. i don’t think that’s what you intended to have happen, but in a way.. it has. i don’t know what i’m asking you to do about it, but i know that something needs to be changed & several people on the site would agree.

I have a question. My diary is acting kind of wierd. I can’t edit entries *the space where your entry would show comes up blank* and the automatic HTML isn’t working on my diary, either. if i want bold, i can’t click on the “B” button at the top….i have to do the whole thing…do you think you could fix it?
Warning Comment
im an OD+ member.. i tried searching your entries before bothering you with a question probably answered already, but why is it that when my non-OD friends login [under OD reader login] and leave notes, it DOESNT use the “description” to sign the notes. there’s nothing, it always just looks anonymous. did you do away with that feature? the only option they have is “unsigned note”.

I have no clue what to do.Please help me out I am going insane!

Hi, I’m sorry to bother you, but I tried emailing and I got a message back saying the email didn’t send properly. I just wanted to let you know that new diaries don’t work on TOD, you can create them.. but then the entry table has some type of code on it and it won’t let you write entries or anything.
Warning Comment
I hate to post this here… You need a “questions and suggestions” email form as you do for the rules violations and such. Here is my question.. is it possible for a OD plus user to change an existing diary to a new authorcode without having to pay for an entirely new diary? Do to some drama I would love to just start fresh with a new authorcode that way it couldnt be known or what not.
Warning Comment
I left a note a while ago about getting an OD email address, but you never got back to me. I know you’re busy, so I don’t mean to pester you, but I’d really like to know. You should have my information, but if you don’t, drop by my diary and let me know. Thanks!

Now if you could just invent a code that filtered out stupidity. You know, a “You’re going to regret this later, you’d better fix it or delete it now” filter. Now where’s the code for that?
