I switched it so that journal music auto play is off by default. You can easily turn it on in your prefernces if you want. Users can always play and pause the music by using the play button under your userpic,

It now works allow syou to pick up dropped off files in IE. I guess there was a bug I hadn't tested for IE. It also send syou a confirmation email with the pickup information so that you can't lose it.

I have finally dried out the latest 11,700 lines of estrip chat into an achive file. You can find it on the media page with all other chat since 2004 or simply click on the picture below.

That is a lot of lines for only 3 months.



[size=m]Journal Music[/size]
I have also made it so that your journal music can play by default if you uploaded an mp3 into the system using the your journal music control panel. If you want to change it so that the music does not play by default, which I would suggest - then just open up your preferences control panel - the red switch icon in your control panel - and set "Automatically Play Journal Music" to no.



Either way if someone has music loaded into their journal a play button will show up under their user pic. CLicking on it starts the music. If the music is on it turns into a red square. Clicking on the red square stops the music.

If the user has the music on by default the play button will default to a red square.

The journal sound on/sound off toggle now overides all sound on the page. I moved everything to the new system so you can toggle sound on an d off that way. You can also toggler sound off in your preferences control panel.

I should probably write help files about this. If something isn't working empty your cache before telling me. All sounds now require flash player 8. You can get it here .

Stay tuned, next I am going to work on the editing system and the profiles.

I fixed the sound for safari. Thanks to (e:jenks) for noticing it was broken. Or wait maybe I hate (e:jenks) for using safari - j/k. No it's good because she catches all the bugs.

If you want sound and don't hear it it is because the new sound engine is piping sounds from javascript to flash player 8. No more stupid messy quicktime plugin that was so buggy and no more long sound load times. It also ended that ridiculous bug that made the window pop forward all the time.

So if you don't have the latest flash player you should upgrade. You should upgrade for secxurity and other bug fixes anyways. they release new players all the time. You can get it here

(e:uncutsaniflush) I am going to leave you in charge of seeing how this works or doesn't work with linux - is there are flash palyer 8 yet - because my linux desktop is now the server and I can't play with it.

I also updated the quick correct typo catcher - see the jorunal below.

I just noticed the quick correct button was broken so I fixed it. It is the one that looks like a chidlrens block under above the publish button. It quickly corrects common typos such as "the", "something" etc.

Try typing "the" in one of you journals and then click it.
