Well the switchover apparently made all blog entries become public accessable and all comments were lost. Nice...folks you might want to check your blogs to make sure nothing you didn't want made public doesn't become public.

Yah, I sort of flipped out last night when I realized that! Seriously. Eep!

Yet, I checked the counter and no one had looked. I can't even tell how to access poster's blogs. I don't see them really displayed anywhere. When I click on the blog link at the top of the forum it's sort of a mishmash of entries.

I went to the user cp and set the blog entries to not be accessible to anyone. There are even blog entries available that I deleted months and months ago! I can't figure out how to delete them.

That's what I did. I am not digging this board upgrade much.

No can't see them. Yeesh. This is quite stressful board admins. I got quite a bit of material I don't want available....how can I get my whole blog deleted?

This board "upgrade" damned sucks.

That's all I'm going to say for a while.


ETA: looks like someone forgot to turn on the bad word blocker.

Okay, I didn't think you could see them. I went through and deleted a bunch of them just now and they still won't delete??? So, I just went through and edited them and put delete where the entry should go.

I had set up both blogs to be deleted before (I was just ranting to myself in there:) and oh, my goodness what a mess.

At least now you have the option to add the admins as "foes".

Yeah I noticed this yesterday and posted about it in Off Topic. I pm'd keene and asked him to just delete the whole blog. (I copied anything I wanted to save first.) I was freaked that I couldn't seem to delete the previously deleted posts. And was also annoyed that nothing was set to "friends only."

Anyway, my blog's gone now and I'm happy. I'll start over if I want to (unlikely).
