A couple of things
Just wanted to give you all an update on a couple of site issues. First of all the site move is starting to pick up steam. The hosting company finished building out the new servers yesterday, so I am going to begin the install process immediately. I am hoping to move the site to the new servers this weekend, so keep an eye out for that.

Also, for those of you who see advertising, I am currently trying to clean up the ads, I haven't had the time to do it the past few weeks, and some undesirable ads slipped through. Please have patience with me, I do not want annoying or misleading ads running here on InsaneJournal any more than you do.

If you have any questions for me this is the place, but if you are having an issue with the site, as usual, please open a ticket with our support team at http://www.insanejournal.com/support/

Thanks, as always, for the updates! The site has been running really well for me the last two weeks, no problems at all.

I did have one issue with an ad about a week ago, but it hasn't caused me grief since. It was one of those audio ads, which are very annoying! I don't mind advertising, I know it's needed to make money, but I'd rather not have it shouted at me.

I really appreciate this. Recently I've had some that "talk" to me, and there is nothing more annoying to me. I don't mind advertising - but as I'm often listening to music or watching a video or something else while I'm web browsing ads with talking, noise, or high movement really irk me!

Glad to know you're working on this!

Thanks!!

You're doing a fantastic job, as always. :) Are you going to be working on the leftover bugs after the move?

Where can we leave suggestions for features we'd like to see on Insanejournal?

My only question is probably one that's been asked a million times - is there a timeframe for when we can expect the comment rot issue to be fixed? It seems to sweep through regularly and steal some of my very important RP comments. :[

Thank you! I actually read that post earlier today, but I don't think I've ever deleted a post in my journal to make that be the cause of the problem - not that I can remember anyway.

I'm sorry, and that's really odd. I've been on IJ forever and most people's problems originated when they traded a journal and the owner before them deleted entries.

I have no idea why one where no entries would be deleted, and haven't seen it happen or heard it (asides from yourself).

Sorry, just figured I'd give it a shot! I know how frustrating it was to lose your comments.

Yeah I'm using a journal I registered myself and every post in it has been my own - and it's an RP journal so almost everything on it is worth saving, so I don't think I've ever deleted an entry. I'm wondering if I did and just don't remember doing it? I guess it's possible, but either way, so maybe I will give your suggestion a shot!

You may have, and I honestly haven't heard any other reason for disappearing comments. I'm friends with one of the orderlies and they agree with that, so.

Just put quite a few nonsense posts, backdate them, and private them? Who knows how many to put though when you don't know how many there were.

I can testify to experiencing comment rot without ever deleting an entry.

Thanks for clarifying. I have no problem solver for that for now, but the comments from older entries is a problem for most people. Ungh.

I'm excited for the site to be on new servers. =)

You're doing a wonderful job sqeak. *high five*

BTW, has anyone figured out what the deal is with the Semagic error that free accounts have when they login? Since I don't have that error when login to my paid account, could it be something with the ad spaces?

You're doing an awesome job on the site, btw.
I was just wondering though if there was a way we could decided if we'd rather see vertically displayed or horizontal advertisements. I just hate having to scroll down half a page every time I go to my userinfo or something like that. If it's not possible then I'll suck it up, I was just wondering :)

I'm not having any site issues, but I was curious if the option to remove someone who has friended you will be available like it was on GJ? I'm not sure how all of that coding works between IJ, LJ, and GJ.

Thanks for everything you're doing, it's appreciated. :)

It's been addressed about a bazillion times. No. It's not going to happen.

:) Hi there, I don't know if this has anything to do with the hosting issues or not, but last night I just stopped receiving e-mail updates. I heard from a few people that the same has happened to them. Its been about 24 hours now and I was just wondering if you were aware of the issue.

Thank you.

I think you're doing an awesome job! I just have one quick question; missing icons -- will we be getting those back or should we just delete them and reupload them?

Yes. I will make a post about this.

I had an ad the other day that somehow redirected me completely off of IJ without ever having clicked on it. I don't remember what company it was for. Thought I would give you a heads-up about it, though.
