ChocoJournal Bugs/Features

I'd like if there was a "recent private entries by buddies" section in the 'Member Journal' segment.

It would only show the most recent Private entry by one of your buddies. Just so more of your buddies would be able to know when you make a private entry (since it doesn't show up on the regular recent entry list).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think there's a maximum number of images you can have in one post which might be at fault for that.



Edit: Guess not.

How ya doing, buddy?

Are you aware of any possible workarounds for this?

Yeah, add spaces.

FELIPE NO

But then he won't be able to make a large LOL out of smilies. This must be fixed ASAP.

I like how ChocoJournal is completely broken. Our buddy Merv has found a way to view and comment in entries despite being banned from the journal.

Bug fixing please.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

When I 'try' to access a non-existent journal (like mine) via the 'Jump to Journal' thingy, I get "$membername does not have a journal or...". Not the actual user's name, but '$membername'.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So, I was thinking it would kind of be nice to have another privacy setting on the journals... One where only you can see the entry. That may seem sort of pointless, but oftentimes I look at something I've written and think, "Eh, I don't really want this to be in view anymore, but I don't have the heart to delete it."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Super private entry! =)

The alt text for the "Jump To Journal (By Username)" image on the ChocoJournal main page isn't quite right:



most minor quibble ever

I was speaking idiomatically.

How about permalinks for journal comments? It can sorta be done through pagination by setting the number of comments to 1, but the comment that's displayed is different based on whether or not the viewer's journal comments display is set to newest->oldest or oldest->newest. In order to be able to link to specific comments in this journal entry for EVERYONE to see, I had to take screenshots of each one.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Along those lines, "Drafts" would be an excellent feature. Often times I want to write a post but don't have time to finish it. It'd be kickin' rad if I could save it for later.

I'd like the character limit for the mood section to be expanded a bit. I like to have a word and a smilie, but I've been forced to use small words so I can fit it in there.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I agree. I am sometimes stuck trying to express while only having very limited space to do so.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Still angsty over the small character limit.

Also, as has been brought up by many members, the possibility of private entries showing up on the most recent list for buddies?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Private entries show up on my Most Recent Buddy Entries page. You have to be their buddy for it to also show up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, otherwise you could just add people to your buddy list in order to see their most recent private entries.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sorry, I meant the journal front page - the right column. It's been a semi-heavily requested item to have private entries of buddies show up in the 10 Most Recent Entires Made section, because not everyone uses the most recent buddy entries bit.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Bigblah, I looked at "Who Quoted Me" in my main journal page and it linked me to the list of people who quoted and where/when in comments.

I like to if possible to reverse the order of WHEN in this quote comment section if possible.

But that's not the only thing.

There was a bug, Dubble quoted me but then he must had edited it and changed it to Miles' to be quoted instead. o.O

Here's a weird one. If you do the full number of characters for an entry title, then go back and change it, the title will end up getting cut off. I think it has something to do with the edit page not allowing as many characters in the title, since it won't even let me re-enter the full title as it was before.

FELIPE NO

Ok, I just made a private entry, then a public entry somewhat unrelated, but also to advertise that I'd made a private entry. The system merged the two entries together, and my public entry doesn't show up on the main page. Any way to fix this, short of waiting an hour to make the public entry?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'll have to get the entry merger to ignore the previous entry if it's private. As well as some mechanism to prevent people from exploiting this to spam public entries.

It should be worth mentioning that I'm considering doing a complete rewrite of the journal code, though that won't happen for another month or two.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hey, one more thing to de-bobo the place in case he comes roaring in here one of these days lookin' to put up a fight. Good thinking, Blah. =)

ChocoJournal 3 or whatever you decide to call it, would be pretty bitchin', I'll be honest. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff to be rewritten if you were to go from the ground up (which might be the best solution for some of the things in ChocoJournal.)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

of course it's the best solution. Bobo was as good of a coder as he was of a web designer.

just cuz you know how to use photoshop / google doesn't mean you know what you're doing.
