Help Desk and Happy New Year’s
Hello,
We had some reports in recent days of some emails not receiving replies when they were sent into our help desk system using the "help" link at the top of the screen. The Admins and I have been investigating this and there is good news and bad news. The good news is that the problem has been fixed, and all of the help desk tickets are flowing correctly again.
However, the bad news is that there were quite a few old messages stuck in the system – they had been sent from the OD server (which would lead the sender to believe we had received it) but had not made it into our help desk software. Because of this, there are some number of messages over the last few months that we had not seen, and so had not answered.
All of these "missing" messages have been downloaded into the help desk now, and the Admins and I will be doing our best to work through them as fast as we can. If you are one of the people who sent one of these messages, and think that you were ignored – I apologize for that. If you still have an issue that was reported to us, we will do our best to resolve it as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your understanding. Also, a Happy and Healthy New Year’s to everybody – I hope that 2010 brings only good things to your life!
The DiaryMaster
Happy New Year DiaryMaster!

The problem I had wasn’t with not getting responses, the problem I had was that I couldn’t get past the CAPTCHA. Has this been fixed as well?

Happy New Year. I would covet your prayers for my best friend-Ex Hubby of 40 years. We also live together as platonic roommates. He has colon cancer, had surgery just in Novem, has a colostomy, and is going through now, a harsh, round of Chemo treatments. It is so hard to watch this dear man suffer and cry, etc. So, the point of me telling you all this, is, because THIS commumnity, MY family on O.D. is once again, my MAIN support system. I LOVE ALL OF MY FAVES/FRIENDS/BOOKMARKS!!!! Everyone is so kind, loving, supportive and I have actually become friends in phone chatting with a few ladies, as well. Thank you Bruce, for O.D. I love you for creating this and with your admins/etc/ keeping it going and improving it as we go, etc. Thank you so very much!!! I LOVE O.D.!!!!!! Big gramma hugzzz, :*)) Praying that God’s will is to heal Severn(my ex) but, also, I realize I must acknowledge it is HIS will, not mine, so yeah. Sorry, I am rambling. Have a HEALTHY N.Y. for YOU and ALL of your loved ones! :*))

Happy New Year, DM, to you and yours! Is there a problem with adding/changing profile pictures? I keep trying to change mine and I am getting an error page up every time I try. It won’t even let me put back the picture that’s been up all this time. Pictures are within the correct pixel size.

I have a kind of silly question – Do you know when you instituted the two entry length increases on OD? Since I started (1999) I can remember two times that you increased the entry length. It’s kind of a dorky question, because I was trying to look at how many entries I wrote each year, but I know that in the past I would write 10 part entries, so it’s throwing off my stats!

“There has been a problem with our help desk setup that has prevented some messages from being delivered to us over the last several weeks” Try three months

I can’t seem to find where to leave site suggestions so I’m just gonna leave it here: I wish we had a chat system, like FB & Myspace. Do you see it coming in the future? Happy New Year, Mr. DiaryMaster 🙂

tab order on the main page misses the “stay logged in” and the actual login button, requiring me to use the mouse. On any PC I can enter the user name, tab to the password and enter that, then tab to the “stay logged in” checkbox and hit the space bar to check it, then tab to the login button and hit enter and I’m in. On my new MacBook Pro the tab order skips those last two and I have to reach for the mouse to click to login. I assume you have the site for the mac built separately?

Thank you OD Master, I <3 you man ^.^

Glad the help desk problem got figured out and straightened out. Now, can we remove the DePhoMo blurb on the front page? It’s over. Happy New Year to you and your family.

A long-time OD diarist’s teenage son is missing (ran away) and she’s frantic for help. The OD community is posting it on Facebook and tweeting it. Any assistance you can give by putting this on the home page would be greatly appreciated by many here. Here is the new diary she set up today: http://www.opendiary.com/entrylist.asp?authorcode=D813235&mode=date

Please pop in to my diary to the latest entry for info about a runaway son of one of my oldest, dearest OD friends. Anything we can do to get the word out.
Warning Comment
that missing boy thing is a hoax – isn’t it??????
Warning Comment
diarymaster, i have been paying more attention to what other ODers write on their diaries. i would like to thank you for creating this website because i think a lot of us and i mean A LOT OF US come to OD for emotional refuge. sometimes an entry doesnt make sense to me like “im eating” but im sure it meant something to that ODer. being able to release on OD means a lot to me because it helps me cope with my “real” life. im sure a lot of us feel that too. thank you for OD.

RYN: I never intended for any of my favorites to go up in arms over the “news”, and my item not being submitted. I’d like to point out that I wasn’t upset about not being included. I just know that if this had been my first race, or some monumental athletic achievement that I might have been a bit hurt. I hope that makes sense. More than anything, I was trying to get the point acrossthat I don’t think that section of OD gets ignored since many of the announcements seem to point in a very similar direction. My hope was to generate some interest as my topic was somewhat different. I do thank you for taking changes into consideration, and would be very happy to see anyone who has had a similar achievement make the front page. Thank you!

*gets* ignored. 😉 Sorry if that didn’t make sense!

Hi Mr. Just dropping by to say that you did a great job setting up OD. I stumbled on this site by accident in 2003 while I was experiencing my teenage confusions/depressions. After 5 yrs or so, I wrote again and become active. We’ll see how OD gets in the years to come. Good job!

http://www.opendiary.com/entrylist.asp?authorcode=D810924 Hi, the above diary appeared on the front page. I realize there is freedom of speech and such, but, this is disgusting and it’s public. Is there anything you can do? Obviously I won’t be going there but, it’s really bad, and I don’t know if that is okay or not? Talking blatently frank about sexual adventures and such. Gross. Sorry, justwanted to check. have a good day.
Warning Comment
several complaints? try reading MY notes, and see who is really being attacked here.
Warning Comment
check out my most recent entry “lmfao”. it’s obvious what i’m talking about, but there is no violation of any little website rules, and more importantly freedom of speech amendment/ charter in canada. however, it also is obvious, that anyone who has noted that entry who is NOT on my friends and bookmarks, is clearly attacking ME.
