We spent a little time rewriting the backing up engine; the new output should generate clean HTML (with no more styling); the RSS feed should also be corrected. There were some old issues of bad styling being placed into the RSS feeds as well as entries not being properly generated for both the HTML and RSS feeds (due to new breaking features being implemented after the creation of the backup pages).

The backup should now work quite nicely ... you also must explicitly tell the site to generate the backup; it used to generate it when you simply visited the page.

Due to these new changes, we've reset EVERYBODY'S last request date to 1970. This means that everybody (regardless of when they last backed up their journal) can go to the backup page and grab a fresh backup of your journal!

Do it now and save it to your hard drive!

Oh, another bug. At first I thought this was just another incompatibility with Mozilla, but the same thing happens with IE too. When I go edit an entry, it forgets what the usericon was for that entry, so I have to set it again.

hm about the communities.. i'm just making a suggestion...

on the space where we usually see "add username as a friend", when your on a community... instead of that.. it should have been "join this blogring/community/sharedjournal" because going on the link on the members section's kinda bothersome.. and some people don't know it's there...

and another way.. a feature to delete your own comment on somebody's blog.. example like when you make a mistake or a typo...

just a suggestion :)

Your communities question: It already does that. If you're not a part of it, there is a link on top that says "Join Community."

I need some help. I am a Thai and sometimes I would like to blog in Thai. I have ever written in Thai before on the first day at Tabulas but then another next days I could not anymore. I would like to know what I did wrong or how I should do now to make it support my language again?? Please help me, thank you very much.

I'm not really sure why you can't type in Thai anymore; make sure your web browser is sending the data in UTF-8 mode... (in IE, View > Encodeing > UTF-8)
