    Thanks for the heads-up, although I'd have come straight to the site and confirmed whether or not it's genuine. I'm just super cautious like that

    Duly noted and what [info]maelynd said... :)

    Thirding what's been said. I wouldn't have opened the email at all if it wasn't official.

    How can I turn off notifications in my journal so they don't show up under the Notifications sidebar? Even unchecking everything in "manage settings" still make them deliver and I don't need them there when I can just look at my Recent Comments. But now I have to spend time deleting them so it doesn't show up as 92823729 notifications in my sidebar. They just decided to spontaneously start delivering too even though I never used to get them before. If you can fix this glitch that'd be appreciated.

      you have to uncheck the box under "by email" to get it to stop. you'll still get comments in email but it'll stop showing them in your notifications.

        Thanks but I've done that. It doesn't stop it. When I said I unchecked everything in Manage Settings, I literally meant everything.

          i don't know what to tell you then, it worked for me on each journal i had to do it with before

    i recently rediscovered an old journal i purchased permanently insane status for an extra userpics a long time ago for. is there a way i can transfer these features to a journal with content i'm using now (ie: not just using a rename). i know i'd have to submit a support request, i'm just wondering if it is even possible before i spend the time to do so. thank you!

    • [info]briankinney

      the answer to this has always been no to my knowledge, the only transfer of features is if you have remaining paid time and then buy a permanent account

        ah dang. i got impatient and sent one in anyway but thank you.

      ive been hoping for a way to even pay and transfer permanent account status for years, no luck yet. there are about two or three i have i'd be willing to pay something for to get the status moved to new journals just so the accounts stop going to waste.

      • [info]chick
        4/28/14 12:27 am (UTC)
        i'd definitely pay to transfer, like a convenience fee. i would just rename but i don't want to lose all the content in the journal i want the perm features for.

        • [info]16996
          4/28/14 12:29 am (UTC)
          and when you use a journal for one thing, your comments from it are all over the site in other journals, other communities, which is why i'd just rather pay to have the permanent status put on a journal i have than rename the account i've been using to something new. i wish there was a convenience fee, even $10, something so you don't have a whole perm going to waste.

          • [info]chick
            4/28/14 12:30 am (UTC)
            exactly. it'd be completely worth it. squeaky are you listening brah.

              4/28/14 12:31 am (UTC)
              i'm sure it can't be that hard to transfer, either, and i know it would bring in a lot of extra money for the site because we're not the first two to complain about perms going to waste.

              • [info]chick
                4/28/14 12:33 am (UTC)
                well i thought i have seen people in here have normal paid times transferred, or maybe read about it in the faq? i'm not completely versed in journals here so i am not sure, but you're exactly right. it would bring a lot of extra money to the site and i can't see it being that much extra effort if they transfer normal paid time.

                  4/28/14 12:34 am (UTC)
                  nah briankenney or whoever is right, he only transfers paid time if you buy a permanent on top of it, but i get what you're saying. i don't see why you can't pay to have the whole permanent status transferred. i've had to delete a few permanent journals in the past just because i don't want to rename them and i don't use them anymore. it sucks

                  • [info]chick
                    4/28/14 12:35 am (UTC)
                    that blows. all that money for nothing.

                      how was it a waste, though? i assume you used the permanent features for a while... if you got it on sale and used it for over a year, you pretty much made back your investment in terms of what you would have had to pay for a paid account for that amount of time. how much money would you be willing to pay to transfer the permanent status? because if squeaky did it for one person, he'd have 234234234 people asking him to do it, which would be a pain in the ass and probably not what he needs to focus on when the site is still having some technical issues. i can kind of see doing it for $20+ or something but if i were an admin that would be way more trouble than it was worth for $5 or something, given that he would immediately get like 1000 requests to do it for $5.

                        it is a waste now because i am not using it. i'm not blaming him, it's my own fault for not renaming it sooner, i'm just saying it is something paid for sitting there unused - it is a waste. rather than a support request though it would be a pretty clever feature if possible, lj used to charge 15 for renames and they would get that price, so i don't think $20 or even $25 would be that outrageous. it'd be a really simple way to make money for the site as well, to help fix those technical issues.

                          oh okay, i thought you meant for like $5 or something, which i'd have to think would be too cheap for the hassle it would be worth for 23423 people doing it. $20 or $25 might be some good income though!

                            oh no, definitely not. $5 people would probably take total advantage, but at a higher price it'd discourage that while still making a pretty good profit :)

                              yeah, i think that's worth squeaky looking into!

                    idg how that's squeaky's fault, though? no one's ever been able to transfer permanent account status, there was no expectation of that. if you don't want to commit to a single name forever then just buy paid time... paid accounts bring way more revenue than permanent accounts

    I don't know if it's just me, or if other people are having this issue. But IJ will BARELY load for me. I have to refresh the page like million times and it's still having issues. I've turned the internet off, and restarted my browser so many times in the last hour it's not even funny. I don't know if it's Safari (on my computer) or if there's something going on with IJ? Though I didn't have the same issue when using Google Chrome earlier today.

    Is anyone else having this issue?
