Are You 'Missing' Entries in Your Journal?

Hi folks -- I've gotten a few panicked reports from Journalers that as many as a month's worth of Journal entries are "missing" from their Journals main pages.

However, when I take a look at their Journals, I see all the entries.

This leads me to believe that something screwy is going on with Journals, but that your entries are not actually missing (that is, they're still in the database, they haven't been deleted or anything).

I have alerted the Journals tech team and will report back when I hear something.

If you are experiencing this problem, please let me know via e-mail or in the comments below, with a link to your Journal.

[Update, 7:28pm: The Journals folks "failed over" to the backup database and then "failed back" -- your missing entries should be back. They're still checking to see why this happened. Please leave a comment if you're still seeing a problem. Thanks -- Joe]

Thanks -- Joe

    Hi -- I will have to ask the tech folks to be sure, but it seems unrelated (if there were widespread Journals deletions due to database problems, there would be alarm bells all over the place.)

    Thanks -- Joe (posted & mailed)

    My journal has been deleted twice this week but I did not do it. I have no idea why. AOL told me that someone most likely stole my password which very well could be likely but I am wondering also if it could be because of all of this?

    Actually, Star Jones decided to take a bunch of journals with her when she left The View. Dang, she's vengeful.
