Hi folks --
Darn it, this entry pushes my PostSecret entry out of the top spot, but I have to do it...
Normally, this would be Product Manager Susan's to blog about, but she's on a plane right now, so you're stuck with me.
The Journals tech folks will be installing Release 3 (or R3), tomorrow, January 10, from 4-6AM ET. During this time, Journals will be unavailable (or if they are available, you may see some weirdness, especially on private Journals).
R3 was originally installed early morning December 22, but was rolled back later that afternoon.
You can see Susan's entry about the primary new features of R3, which haven't changed: Blog About This Entry, Notify AOL on each entry and Buddy List Rostering.
Buddy List Rostering is the thing that broke the launch last time -- or more accurately, it worked for us, but broke rostering for everyone else. That's a bad thing, so it was rolled back.
Believe me, the entire Journals team wants this to go off smoothly, since getting R3 finally out of the way means they get to work on much cooler stuff for Journals.
If you have any Journals problems after the 6AM install window completes, please leave a comment here so the tech folks can see it. Thanks. -- Joe

Hello Joe,
One of my readers told me that my Journal is all messed up and that anyone can get into into it to edit it! Please help!
Thanks.
Hi...checking, I will let you know what I hear, thanks -- Joe
Ray, I took a look at your entry -- although the blue edit and delete buttons are showing up to visitors, they look like they don't do anything -- they're just showing up as pieces of art.
That particular entry is a little wacky (text from the previous few entries is showing up in it) -- you should try editing your entry to see if you can delete anything that's not supposed to be there including the extra blue buttons -- just highlight with your mouse and click delete.
Since your post came at just after 6AM ET, which was the tail-end of the R3 install (which went from 4-6AM ET), you may have gotten caught up in the last of the changes, which may have affected your blog. Thanks -- Joe
