Quicker way to migrate friends over to GJ (and I presume IJ as well) Hello All,
Just thought I'd take you through what I did to migrate friends from LJ to GJ. It helped out
icarusancalion last night - so it may help out some of you
PLEASE NOTE: This only works if people have the same LJ/GJ names. However, I found about 2/3 of people on flist like that - and others have been replying to a post in which I stated the ones I could not find :)
1) Go to your userinfo. Copy all the names into a wordeditor
2) Look at the commas... aren't they pretty?
3) Run a find/replace, replacing the commas with "
^pfriend add "
4) The list now is:
friend add friendone
friend add friendtwo5) Go to the GJ console at:
http://www.greatestjournal.com/admin/console/ 6) Copy your wordedited document into the console
7) Hit "execute"
A list should now appear of EVERYONE on your list - and whether GJ found them or not. I chose to write down the people I missed, as I did not want to loose any of you in the transfer.
I hope that this is of help - this is going to be one of those very rare unlocked posts, so pimp it far and wide if you deem it fit.
All the best
