PSA: Support Your Wank Habit Day
Journalfen is now using about 200 Gigs of bandwidth a month. According to [info]zorrorojo, the bulk of that traffic is coming from [info]fandom_wank and [info]dl_anon, but only a handful of posters here and there have signed up for paid accounts.

Without [info]zorrorojo, FW would still be wandering in the wilderness. She's provided us with this lovely playground (which is a hell of a lot more reliable than LJ these days). It's only fair that those of us who can afford to should help defray the costs of keeping it running. Besides, where else can you get such high-quality crack at such low prices?

Um. You're right. I, for one, will get a paid account tonight. I can't miss out on The Wank or Teh Crazy, y'know!

Am getting a paid account within the next couple of days, courtesy of the lovely [info]buxton.

We decided to get them for the very reasons you mention above - [info]zorrorojo has done a fantastic job, and we really appreciate all of her hard work.

So putting our money where our mouths are any day now.

Has anyone else had trouble with the paid account link? 'Cause I've tried a couple of times and not been able to get through.

I just used it with no problem - what exactly is happening? Is it timing out, or giving an error message?

Paypal was being jerky earlier today, too. (I was trying to sign up for a PP account.) I tried back in half an hour or so and got everything accomplished.

PP isn't happy today :(

Is there a snail-mail address I can send the money order to? I don't have a credit card, so no PayPal for me.

Besides, for however much it is, it's damn well worth it.

Cheap crack is so hard to comeby these days. >8]

Is there a way to check if your status has been upgraded, do you mean? Try uploading icons. If you get past your former limit, it should mean you're upgraded. Or try using friendsfriends (only if you are not an early adopter, that is).

Other than that, ask at support.

Yes, you can always use support to ask us to double-check for you. Soon, we'll have the code fixed that displays your paid status for you. Until then, it's fine to ask, if you aren't sure. I try to remember the personalized confirmations, but sometimes it gets busy and I forget. Whoops!

I hope I'm not bothering you, but I've been unable to find this info anywhere else:

What is friendsfriends?

Thanks for your (or anyone's who answers) time!!

Re: *takes a wild stab in the dark*

It's no bother. *g*

Friendsfriends is a function that allows a user to view the friends of their friends entries. This means that any user you don't have friended, but one of your friends does, will appear on the friendsfriends page.

Friendsfriends looks identical to your normal friends page, but for the content: your friend's friends.

To go to friendsfriends you type: http://www.journalfen.net/users/your_user_name/friendsfriends in your browser. If you have the correct account type to view it, your friendsfriends page will appear.

I hope that I answered your question without your head spontaenously combusting in confusion! I can never keep anything under ten words or less. *g* If you have any more questions, just ask on this thread (I'll answer if it appears in my inbox), check the FAQ, or lodge a request at support.

Also, if you are familiar with Livejournal, you can browse their FAQs -- since the service we use here uses LJ code, a lot of the features available are covered in their FAQ. It's a handy thing to know if you need quick answers.

Cheers!

Thank you! My head is still intact and your explanation was very helpful. I figured it was something like that...

I intended to "go paid" this weekend, but I think I have to put more money in the PayPal account. Oh, well. ASAP.

Thanks again!

I'm really considering this, but I also LiveJournal to deal with. I don't have much $ right now, but once I get some, I'd probably go with the Premium Paid. Sure, it's more the livejournal, SEVENTY-FIVE ICONS!? EEEEEE!!! Will have to see. I wish there were a deal where it can be 5$ for 2 months basic and 7$ for 2 months premium. Something like that.

Soon, we'll have the code fixed that automatically lists your paid status. If you got a confirmation from us in addition to paypal, then you've definitely been upgraded. If you'd like to for us to double check, that's cool, too. Just reply back to the journalfen address that sent you the confirmation, and one of us will go take another look, just to be sure.

Ah... lovely good little minions. You get more icons. You get TEH SHINY! That's why I signed up back in Sept. ...well, not entirely, but it was what reminded me to get a paid account.

Done!

Last Sunday, IIRC. :D

If All Goes Well, I'll be buying fandom_bitch a six-month membership this weekend (Found out she just got back working this past week, so it's a good-luck gift).

Question: I'm supposed to have more codes. How do I find them?

And, something for folks to keep in mind for the next week or so: all the magnetic storms caused by the sun flares this past weekend may be doing wonky things to satellites and electrical systems. So sayeth the NASA posts I got a couple days ago.

You know, every time I go to that link I get this:

Sorry
You are not eligible to receive any more invitation codes at this time.

For more information on how invitation codes are given out, read this.

Previous Codes
You've previously had codes generated for the following reasons:

For having an account for at least a week.
For being an early adopter (#1)
For being an early adopter (#2)
For being an early adopter (#3)
For being an early adopter (#4)
For being an early adopter (#5)
For being an early adopter (#6)
For being an early adopter (#7)
For being an early adopter (#8)
For being an early adopter (#9)
For being an early adopter (#10)
For being an early adopter (#11)
For being an early adopter (#12)
For being an early adopter (#13)
For being an early adopter (#14)
For being an early adopter (#15)
*

Back to your list of codes.

But then when I go "back to my list of codes", no codes show up at all. That's really very irritating to me, considering that I've had friends who've asked me for codes but I can't get to them. ~_~

All you have to do to get lost codes back is send a message to:

codes
at
journalfen
dot
net

and give your username.

When the codes table blew up, we went back and manually generated the codes for a lot of people, but we couldn't get everyone, so we've been getting them back as requested.

*thumbs up for the supporters*

I can't afford it, I'm afraid. I only have a paid LJ account because the LJ fairy visited me, and I've been pondering what to do when it runs out in April, should I buy some more time. So, I really can't afford to pay for a journal I don't really even use... *sigh*
