Multiple User Accounts
Tabulas now supports multiple user accounts - this is something I was toying with for a while due to its potential downfalls. On one hand, I know a lot of people like to maintain separate journals for separate topics, but on the other hand, this leads to abuse of the gallery (when we do go paid, people can use the free service to get more gallery space).
We've decided that for the time being, we will fully support any user that gets multiple accounts in keeping with the spirit of not abusing Tabulas. In any case, here is how to do it:
Go to Preferences, Multiple User Accounts. You will have to create a 'master group' with one username. After you create the group, it will give you a group id. Remember this number. Go log-in to your alternate accounts and then join the group by inputting the group id, the master account username/password ... this will then join you into that 'user group.'
This will then create a little box on the left side of your admin panel which allows you to switch from account to account (I'm using it for this one and my personal journal on tabulas with a lot of ease) without having to log-in/log-out.
This is not meant for separate people to 'share' one journal; you should use blogrings for that purpose.
There were also a few fixes across the site (links page now works).
Edit: Thanks for all the bug reports. I'm quashing them as fast as I can. Manual times is now *completely* fixed. I've tested it multiple times... fixed up the way the links page in your admin panel displays. More to come tomorrow!
Also, it's worth noting that if you have a large entry that you want to 'fragment,' input ['break'] (without the quotes, but with the brackets) in your entry. Everything before will display on your friends/home page, and everything after will only show on the extended entry page. This is to help alleviate 'long entry syndrome' from crowding your page and your friends' friend pages.
