Is There An Echo In Here?

Many of you noticed (and let me know) that there were duplicate entries appearing on the front page of OD last night and today. Meaning, the same entry was listed twice (or even thrice) in the Latest Entries list.

This was the result of some development work I was doing last night, for a system enhancement that will be coming out soon (and no, it’s not an auto-spamming-the-front-page feature).

The problem has been fixed, so the front page will look fine now. Also, many of you noticed that OD was running somewhat slow last night – from about 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. EST. This was also due to work and testing that I was doing. I didn’t expect it to slow down the system, but it did – sorry about that. In any case, everything is running fine now.

Thrice is a word that doesn’t get used enough, I think (and yes, I know there’s a band with that name).

i “contacted the staff” a few days ago about a problem im having. theres something wrong with my notes page and i was hoping you could get around to correcting the problem soon. and i know youre busy, so thanks.

thrice is a good band. heh im a dork. keep up the good work with this site..i love it

thrice, panama, thrice, panama I should use “thrice” more that’s a good idea dank you

well on the front page and here along the menu is a lavender grid 1×1″ square under ‘find a..’……..thought you should know. it appears on every page.

tertiary is used even less and i like it more.

why do strange things keep happening with the menu bar? the thingy up there with the drop down menus. sometimes it doesn’t show up, and it doesn’t drop down.

interesting… interesting indeed. isabel

I was wondering why that was happening… I just thought the person saved their entry twice. So this entry makes sense. Thanx for clearing it up!

and the band with that name sucks big balls

Hi, I tried to write you, but, I get the error page. My diary has been deleted, and I don’t know who/why?????? did it??? I am SO upset. can you help me? My name was: Butterfly4Him, and now I am FrozenLady, temporarily. I can’t accept the fact it is REALLY gone, with so much documentation in it. Please help me in some way? Note me, ok? Can you help me find it? I don’t want to put my e-mail on here

i love thrice 😀 the band that is ive used the word maybe.. four times in my lifetime

Can you maybe set up a test environment so that you don’t screw up things when you’re developing?

so do you know that you have two leave a note boxes?yeah, i’ve never noticed that until now… odd.

What about frice? fice?

hi, i’ve emailed tech support many many times with regard to the problems i’ve been having for over a year with my diary, but till now have gotten no reply.was hoping i would get a faster response by leaving u a note. please help me. thank you so much. my email code number is 105615. my diary number is A751408

well here i am again. the menu is not dropping down from the faves to which kind, etc. and everytime i click on a writer a warning flashes that opening that writer’s diary may harm things…..hmmmm. time for DDT?

hey, I tried to contact you by the contact us form but it doesn’t seem to be working! However the charictar limit is too small so i’m going to have to send you this in multiple installments. I’d just like to request that OD be more browser friendly– I couldn’t create an account with my browser of choice, Mozilla. I often have to switch to IE.

There are many random quirks and abnormalities that don’t agree with Mozilla. Mozilla is a very popular browser and I think it would be wise to support it. You might want to start by having your page comply with the w3c web validator: http://validator.w3.org/ thanks for listening! Eileithyia

Umm… I’m constantly getting an ‘error with the page’ messege when I’m trying to ask a question through the contacts page. Are you guys getting the messege sent through that page?

are you going to change teenopendiary like you change free/opendiary?

You rule……woth out you mine and my friends diary would SUCK!!!! THANKS!!!

I would like to set my whole diary to block reader’s choice instead of ticking the box on every entry, because I’m lazy! Is this possible? Thanks.

Oops that was supposed to say with out you

It’s struck me that since you do TOD too, I should just note you. I love both OD and TOD but the one really bad thing about TOD is that people RC themself, which is annoying, or others RC them and they get accused of RCing themself. I think you should have the name of the person who Red them on TOD too. Just a thought. -Janey

WYSIWYG. What the hell does this mean? I mean really? Even if it IS some coolio acronym, WHAT THE CRAP? Just make up a pretty name for it like “THE EDITOR (DUN DUN DUN!!!)” and leave it at that! Words You Say Including Wishes You’d Grow It sucks, it’s the best I could come up with. always, Valleri Lynn

I have a question… I have another diary here and I can’t for the life of me remember my password. I changed it and then totally forgot it. I put in my email to get it sent to me and it never got sent or something went wrong… is there any other way I can get my password? Thanks Rachel

hello, i dont know why i cant go in to my friend’s diary page, can you tell me what’s going on?~

Thanks Diary Master! I also find it quite interesting (not to be sexist at all whatsoever)that you are a male. I just thought that you’d be female. But, hey, that’s cool! This is a great site though. And good job on keeping us up-to-date on stuff going on! You rock! LoveHurts17

You still have not told me why certain pics wont work on diary. Also how come some notes wont show up when you are in the notes part of OD. I click on a number group and nothing comes up.

YOU PROBABLY DON’T HEAR THIS THAT MUCH, BUT THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. I WROTE YOU THE OTHER DAY ABOUT A PARTICULAR PROBLEM I’D BEEN HAVING BUT AFTER READING THIS I FEEL BAD THAT ALL I DID WAS POINT OUT SOMETHING NEGATIVE W/O MENTIONING HOW HARD YOU MUST HAFTA WORK JUST TO KEEP THIS WHOLE THING AFLOAT. THANKS AGAIN.

now the grid is yellow. and my same ol reader password is not working for my friends, aaaaaaaand signing in here goes to a blank page titled Diary Circles…..what’s going on? bugs bugs bugs?

Thrice is a good band.

hello! I am Moaning Myrtle! Would you like to be my friend? MM:’) Hi I am Nick the house-elf ghost! Nick;’)

The band thrice is good 🙂 anyways… um lately when i save entries, 9 out of 10 go to some page that says “error 500” and sometimes they save, and sometimes they dont, but what’s up with that error thing and could u possibly fix it if there’s a way? maybe it’s just my computer being stupid though, i really dont know, but yeah, anywho, thanks for ur time.

Dear DiaryMaster why do you put a counter to count the number who read our diary? then we can know how many people have been visit our diary?

Is there a way to not have the bar across the screen that says my diary, my notes ect? I don’t like having it just floating there, somtimes I ahve those options showed two time.. Its kinda annoying and I really don’t like it, its just nice to have the one that isnt java type, I guess thats what you would say it is.. Please get back to me on this, thank you much.. 🙂

I love you.

there is a 5000 internal error with the “contact the staff” page to report a technical problem.

Hi there! I hate to report problems here, but, well, the problem report page is broken. I get error “‘80070070’ /reportsave.asp, line 82” I’m going to try and email problems@opendiary.com next, but thought I should at least try to give you a heads up here before people freak out. Thanks for all your hard work, DM! Leah

We appreciate you very much! Thanks! Love,

Thanks for the note, I’m flattered. But you should try the cooking itself. 🙂

wow im impressed, i didn’t actually think you wrote notes to other diaries until i just saw one. You do exist!! 😛

why does your website always try to install spywear on my computer?

I am seriously annoyed at your site. I typed out an entry that was really long. In no rush I took my time. I clicked ‘add my entry’ and it tells me that my session has been timed out. There is no way I can get back what I wrote, and now I dont have time to write it over again. I dont know if you can do anything about this, but please, it is extrememly annoying. Now I have to go. great.

Hi, thanks for the note, I’m glad you liked my poem. 🙂

Is there a reason that you can’t search FOD diary names while logged into OD? Or am I missing a special search option some where?

Thanks for the awesome idea of the OD. A net friend told me about it and I finally decided to do something about it and join. OD is good for me so I can sharpen up my writing skills, express my thoughts to others, and finally, read and learn about other’s thoughts and lives. Feel free if you have the time to gander at my beginnings.

Thanks for your note. I think the idea of private only is really good for you. Seems to be working, too. I would GLADLY share my avocados were it possible. Last night’s was DELICIOUS.
