Status Update, 10/6 -- Search, Comments and Counters

Hi folks...looks like the previously referenced Journals Search problem is fixed now; please let me know in the comments below if you're still having problems.



Also, regarding the problem of sporadic comment alerts; the tech
team is pretty sure they know what the problem is -- looks like
something on the Journals side isn't playing nice with the Alerts system; they need to wait for an install window in
order to make the fix, so I will keep you posted.



This just in -- Ian says that the Hometown folks have put in a
fix where your hit counters should be more stable. It involves adding a backup
file to the mix so we avoid the dreaded write-lock problem
that's the root of most of the counter trouble.



It should be pretty
invisible to you, though it may affect the procedure if you want
to change your counter tally -- I will do a more extensive write-up
when I get the details. 



In the meantime, if you find yourself
having counter resets or other counter problems after this fix, please
let me know.



Thanks. -- Joe
