» What are "Memories"? How do I use this feature?

The memory feature on JournalFen allows you to mark your favorite entries on JournalFen in an easy-to-use keyword archive system.

The easiest way to access your own entries and mark them as memories is to enable comments (also called message boards) for your journal (see http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=62). On each comment page there is a small toolbar set in blue that offers a variety of buttons, one of which is a small red heart with a plus sign in the upper left corner. Clicking on this button will take you to the "Add to Memories" page, where you can give the memory a descriptive name and associate it with up to five keywords. These keywords file the memory under one or more categories on the Memories page, which make referencing the memory later on easier.

If you do not have your message boards enabled, and don't want to enable them, you can use your Calendar view to navigate to the Read Comments page for the entry you would like to mark as a memory. (If you have not enabled comments on your journal, people will still not be able to comment on your entries, even if they visit this page.) Your Calendar view is located at http://www.JournalFen.net/users/exampleusername/calendar/, replacing "exampleusername" with your JournalFen user name. For information on how to use your calendar to locate entries, see http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=70. Finding and clicking the red heart button, as described in the previous paragraph, will take you to the "Add to Memories" page.

You can mark any JournalFen entry as a memory, not just one you have posted to your own journal. You can also define entries posted in communities, or by other users in their own journals, as memorable, using the method described above.

Like journal entries, memories can be marked with three different security levels. Memory security levels determine who can see that a post appears in your memory list; they do not change who can view the post itself. If you mark a Friends-Only post as a Public memory, people who are not authorized to read that post will see that you have marked it as a memory and the description you have given it, but they will still not be able to read it. For more information about memory security, see http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=49.

Memories marked "Public" are shown in your memory list no matter who views it. Memories marked "Friends" are shown in your memory list only when you or someone on your friends list views it while logged in. Memories marked "Private" are shown in your memory list only when you view it while you are logged in.

To edit a memory, you can either re-visit the Read Comments page for that entry and click the heart button, or you can access the memory from your memory list. Your memory list can be accessed by using the "Memories" link on your User Info page, or by visiting the following URL while you are logged in: http://www.JournalFen.net/tools/memories.bml. To edit a memory in the list, find the memory you want to edit by following the keyword links, and then click on the [edit] link next to the memory's description. This will take you to the "Edit Memorable Entry" page, where you can change any or all of the memory's description, keywords, or security level, or remove it from your memories.

To delete a memory, simply erase whatever description you have given the memory, and then hit the "submit" button. This will only remove the entry from your memory list. It will not delete the entry.

» How do I delete an entry on my memory list if the original post has been deleted?

Do you have a pesky memory in your memories that leads nowhere because the original poster has deleted the original post? Do this to make it go away:

Go to your memories page. Click on the category that contains the entry you want to delete. You should get a list of posts under that category. The page will say "Memorable [category] Posts."

Add the following: &multidelete=1 to the end of the URL of that page and hit enter. It will give you a box beside each post that will allow you to delete whichever you choose.
