Memories?

...I went through some really old "memories" on my journal today. I can't "delete" them unless I wrote the post and delete it first.

Is there an easier way to remove memories you no longer want to have listed?

And for the memories you added that others wrote or for posts you want to keep, it just comes to a screen to categorize them... can't delete or modify categories or the posts you no longer want to have.

...please fix it so I can do somethign with them. lol.

If there is an easier way, tell me!

It's not particularly easy, but if you remove all of the categories for a memory (delete everything in the keywords box and deselect everything in the list) it'll be removed from your memories. A delete button would be a lot simpler, though!

You don't even have to de-select the cetagories, all you have to do is remove the "title" of the memory from the text box and hit Submit.

... "cetagories". Of course I meant categories.

Ty too. :) ...I still think we need an easier way :P

Thank you! (Maybe someone will create an easier way...)

A better way kind of involves reprogramming the whole function from scratch, which is why it's been broken pretty much since Memories were invented despite years of piteous pleas for something better. Fortunately Dreamwidth has that on the list of things to do, and they're entirely open source, so maybe IJ will be able to use the solution they come up with. That level of rebuilding is probably going to be a year or so coming, though, so don't anyone hold your breath.

Gotcha. I figured it was something that would be time-consuming, but still just bringing up the "idea'. I did it the way these users mentioned, so its all good.

I actually found this worked if you needed to delete them. Specifically the bit with the "&multidelete=1"
