New Server

by news
As some of you already know, the new server has been purchased and is working but I still need to work out a few things before I do the transfer. The transfer itself will take anywhere from a couple of hours to a whole day but I will give you fair warning as to when that will be and on what day. I'm thinking, when it's through, I'll just have http://diaries.suchisthis.com/ forward to http://www.sitdiary.net just so none of you are severely confused. This has to happen soon though for various reasons. The new diary URL format will be: http://sitdiary.net/yourname/ (For free users) http://yourname.sitdiary.net/ (For paid users) Let me know your thoughts. I'll try to respond in the comments section. For further details, I'll keep you posted.

cupcake6246- there's no way to change the name of your diary yet, but i'm considering making that a part of sitDiary 2.0, so .. let's just hope that all comes together.

enjoyincubus88- where did you get the image from? did you save it as .bmp originally perhaps and then just change the extension to .gif or .jpg? that won't work.

reallyrandom- IM me: decyphex about the wallpaper. About the long-entry issue, I haven't heard of that being an issue yet, no. I'll have to check that out. Thanks.
please delete this account (metabolic)
thanks

hey--
can you make a way to change the name of your diary without having to get a brand new diary? because im content with my entries and stuff i just want to change the name..
[Anonymous]
ok so i saved my picture as .gif and again as .jpg and neither of them would work. why not?
[Anonymous]
Hey, I'm a dumb kiwi who wants to put a wallpaper background on her diary and some Maroon 5 pictures on too.
Please help.
Gotta go shear some sheep now.
Also,I've noticed something when you write a long entry,it doesn't save.
Alot of other people have noticed it too.

What can u do?
endlesslove- i'm not quite sure why that happens but it probably has something to do with your header. try deleting everything in your header and see if that helps.

esther- thank you!

pinacolada0029- you can't delete ANYTHING out of your header? that's very weird. no, that doesn't happen a lot. you can IM me about it. sn: decyphex

craziecutie- no one can read your private entries but you. as far as pictures, you have to upload them in the image manager from your computer and then reference to them in your entries using .

appledumplin- i'll delete your account asap.

hotelchic- paid member accounts aren't available yet (dumb, i know), but they will be soon. to delete members from your friends list, just go to "Friends" at the top of your diary while you're logged in and you should be able to delete from there.

roxysurferbabe92- IM me on AOL IM: decyphex

rasmusskate- same as roxy, IM me.

moshimoshi- same as above.
dude what the hell. i've tried getting to my diary on various computers and i can always login but everytime i am not able to see any of my entries on my diary page. i have no way of reading my comments or reading any past entries but i can styill write new ones. HELP?!!

It sounds all good to me, unfortunately i couldn't donate any money because I'm abit of a poor bastado, have a good day!
[Anonymous]
I think it all sounds quite rad.

And I like this persons idea... "....and can you make an option be only logged in users can read your diary? I don't want to make mine private, or friends only, but I don't like the fact that any completely random person can read it."

But you're busy now.

Thank youuu Sir.

hey guys-

as stated before in previous entries, there will be both Reader Settings and Comment Settings (who can leave comments) for each individual entry.

Both include (Private/Public/Friends Only/Logged-in Only).

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still wanna donate some $$$. I'm in Cancun Mexico... any ideas???
hi is there any way possible for me to retrieve my password for my other journal? (Madi) i cant remember it for the life of me. coment back in this jounal (hiddensparkle) if you have the time
[Anonymous]
to donate money, you can send it (via PayPal) to scott @ suchisthis.com, or e-mail me at that e-mail for an address you can mail donations to.

as far as lost passwords go, e-mail me at the above e-mail using the e-mail you signed up for the account with. (the one you can't remember the password for). i'll reset your password once i verify you.
this is the only thing that confuses me:
"The new diary URL format will be:
http://sitdiary.net/yourname/ (For free users)
http://yourname.sitdiary.net/ (For paid users)"

does that just mean if i'm linking to my diary, If I'm paid, I put my account name in front instead of back?

just wondering.
[Anonymous]
what's "Connection Failure (111)"
mean? got that when I put in an entry a few seconds ago.
[Anonymous]
hey i know this is weird but my ex got into my diary can you erase it please
[Anonymous]
please erase this diary
[Anonymous]
erase this one too. please
[Anonymous]
"connection failure" was probably due to too many people accessing at one time. the database i currently use only supports a limited amount of open connections or "children" at once.

if one of your entries ever doesn't get saved as a result.. just press back and hit "yes" if it asks you to submit the data over again.

in the scenario that you hit "Save" on your entry, and it goes to a blank page because it logged you out, just log in from there and hit back and if it asks you to resubmit the data, say "yes" and it should save.

i hope that helps.
it better work ahhaha
do you have a target date for the switch
[Anonymous]
my lost my sister can you help
her name is katie harris
her screename is lilmonkey127
[Anonymous]
I like the idea, except that you said the only way to get a paid account at the moment is by paypal, and some of us don't have credit cards....and can you make an option be only logged in users can read your diary? I don't want to make mine private, or friends only, but I don't like the fact that any completely random person can read it.

Have a good day/night...

hey, so just wondering, but is there somethin goin on with pictures? i was tryin to upload a jpg picture but it said sorry, only jpg and gif are allowed. is it just my diary? thank you muchly!!
[Anonymous]
I just wanted to ask if the new server was going to keep our old entries?
WHATS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS? I WANNA EMAIL YOU AND ASK YOU TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT!!
[Anonymous]
i wanna delete my account too . so how do i do that?
[Anonymous]
Hey on the new server could you maybe have like a search option so i can search for people w/similar interests or whatnot cuz right now the search only allows you to look for specific users...
[Anonymous]
is there somethin goin on with pictures? --plaidcadillac
no, but you can only upload .gif, .jpg, .jpeg

I just wanted to ask if the new server was going to keep our old entries? --thedoors
The new server will keep your old entries, yes, if it's the last thing i do, YES.

what's your e-mail address? --usedsilence
just email scott @ suchisthis.com for account delete requests. include your username/password. make sure you send it from the email you signed up with.

will there be a search option for similar interests on the new server? --annabananaqt
yup. that's in the works.
I went to sitdiary.net and nothing came up except for some annoying javascript saying how great sit diary was.
[Anonymous]
the "annoying javascript" is actually flash! i made it, and its all thats on the new server for now. its just there to show that exists. thank you very much!
if you are having problems saving a pic that is a .jpg or .jpeg or .gif, it is probly because the picture format has errors. This means open it in paint or photoshop or something and simply resave it. then upload it. that will work. questions? AIM sn: jaredtwagner
i have a free diary, but i would like more, without having to pay.. how can i do this? PLEASE HELP!! thanks.
id also like to delete my account, but how again?
[Anonymous]
Sorry to be a bother but I have a quick question. I was wondering if u knew how to get entries to show. iwas just changing things under my preferences & when i went back to "All Entries", none showed.The only time they did was when the title showed when I went back to preferences. I tired to refresh the page but that didnt work.I asked a friend to see if they showed up & he said no.So do you have any ideas by ne chance?(or does anyone have ne?)
[Anonymous]
Hey, I was wondering how to put a picture at the top of your diary. I don't it one on the top left, or as a header picture for each diary entry. I just want it at the top of my diary. How do I do that?
::amanda::
confusednoggin- you probably messed something up in your header. you should delete whatever is in your header, save it and try to do whatever you were trying to do over again.

dressedtokill- to put a picture at the top of your diary, you should reference to it in the header like such: <img src="your_header_picture.jpg" align="center">
umm i am tryin to delete this account but i dont know where to email u sorry 4 watin ur time but could u plz help me out
