Heads-Up: 11/30, 4-6AM ET: Install of Disclaimer and Save Fix (2nd Try)

Hi folks -- the tech folks are going to have another go at installing the patch; it will start around 4AM ET, Wed, 11/30, and should be done by 6AM. As with the last try, it will be a rolling install, so there will likely be a small outage, but there shouldn't be one big chunk of time where Journals is down.

I posted the details of the patch last week; it's the same patch, and will do two things: 1. Put disclaimer text under the ad, and 2. update the location of some files used in authentication (so that your computer is forced to get the new, correct files); this is to solve the "can't save entries" problem, though hopefully, the old files should have expired out of your caches by now.

If you have Journals problems after the install, please post your comments to this entry so the tech folks can see them.

I should have a status update on our current open issues in about an hour or so.

Thanks -- Joe

The problem I have is this. The fact that AOL is now admitting that they're screwing us over doesn't stop the screwing that they're doing.

What can I possibly add here that people haven't added already on the issue of this disclaimer...?

Maybe I'll just repeat and make it clearer - IT'S NOT ENOUGH. AND IT WAS A PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT THAT. (what is that disclaimer written in, 6pt.?) TRY AGAIN. WE WANT THE ADS GONE.

Thank you for your (lack) of attention...

Where is my MAGNIFYING glass? Geeze Louise.

Okay, Joe, you expected a fire storm and some sarcasm right? Well, just so you know, it isn't you -- it's 'the overlords' that have me ticked off.

I mean, couldn't they have made the disclaimer a COLOR or BOLD or LARGE ENOUGH to read?

Wow. A disclaimer. How nice. Thanks. Really means a whole lot. Good job. Hope the AOL Overlords make a lot of money this holiday season. Just not off of me.
