Re: Help!

[aquaeri]

I don't think there's anything like mass changes applying to my LJ, I will try the import and see how it goes.

As for techy things, when I was paid to be a programmer we used bugzilla. However I still refuse to learn Perl. I am certainly not bothered by hunting for info in very technical language - I'm a scientist, it's par for the course.

Re: Help!

that's what i figured. :)

alright, i am gonna look at your crosspost problem now.

Re: Help!

The import ran okay, I haven't had time to look over the results yet But the icons turned up. I also am a little confused by some of the messages in my inbox from the process.

import from LJ

I've begun to look at the import. I have one complaint so far - my LJ biog overwrote my DW biog and I quite liked some of the stuff I wrote for DW. (Interests seem to have been meshed successfully). If there's somewhere I can drag out the previous text so I can edit some of it back in, I wouldn't say no.

Otherwise, it's looking good.

Re: import from LJ

:/ i see that "import profile data" has no warning that it will overwrite; i guess people thought that was intuitively obvious. *snrk*. i filed a ticket. unfortunately i know of no way to get that old text back.

which messages in your inbox are confusing?

Re: import from LJ

[aquaeri]

Why intuitive? It merged my interests, as I said. And I did want those.
(sorry, you've already *snrk*ed.)

This email basically:


A status update about your import.
Unknown status update.



It's after friends groups and before bio. I don't know if that means something failed. (the others are all "X imported successfully") I don't know what messages are supposed to appear and in what order. Maybe it's the "Ooops, I see you have a bio already. Never mind" message :-).
