Journals R10 Patch Successfully Installed

Hi folks -- here's a followup on some of the open issues from the Journals R10 install from earlier in the week. The team installed a patch early this morning that should fix the following issues:

* RSS Feeds should be working properly now (there was a problem with Journals RSS feeds after R10 -- Atom feeds, however, continued to work properly). If you subscribe to people's Journals feeds in a feedreader you'll know what I'm talking about; if not, don't worry about it.

* Comment Counts should also be working right now -- before, you might have seen a lag in the comment count after new comments were posted.

* IE 7.0 Last Comment Deletion: IE 7.0 users who try to delete the last comment in an entry won't run into an error any more.

* Entry Double-Posting: We'd seen some sporadic double-posting of entries.

Also, the Alerts folks have uploaded a new build to their servers, so New Entry and Comment Added alerts should be fixed.

There's still an open issue with removing readers from private Journals, which was a problem from before R10; we'll let you know when it's fixed.

Lastly, as a reminder -- the Journals beta is split off from production, so don't post to it unless you just want to play around and test -- posts you make to beta won't show up in your production Journal. Also, if you see any links to your beta Journal, you probably want to change them to point to your production journal (so just take "beta." off the front of the URL).

Thanks -- Joe
