Please Help Us Fix R8

You may have noticed a lot of the problems from the past few days have magically vanished from your Journal experience. That's because the Journals tech team has rolled the R8 code back until we can figure out what all the 'undocumented features' of R8 were, exactly, and how we can fix them.

As always, Stephanie Bergman has more on this in detail. If you are at all interested in helping us fix the Journals product, please visit her post and follow her instructions -- doing this will be a HUGE help.

Essentially, what we're asking you to do is go about your normal blogging business, but do it in the beta version of journals. All you have to do is add "beta" in front of your URL. For example, my journal is http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke and my beta URL would be http://beta.journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke.

Stephanie explains more about what to look for, and steps to fix problems. We really need your help here, and appreciate all you can give us.

And again, thanks so much to all of you who reported problems to us and are willing to help us fix things. Every piece of information you give us makes our product better -- and therefore improves your blogging lives!
