Porting Stuff Over Manually (and thus a suggestion)
Well... after some thought I've decided it was time to conglomerate. I trust that eventually someone (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
zorkian or someone else) will figure out why my LJ port failed, but until then I'm porting over stuff from CC, so that everything I've posted of value in the last few years ends up here. :)
This means porting things over manually. By copying and pasting the entry, changing the time, etc.
Can I point out how big of a PAIN this is? Especially when I forget to click the backdate button and have to go back and fix that (losing the time).
If I might make one suggestion, make it easier to backdate. Here's what I suggest...
Let's get rid of the 'Don't show on reading pages (allows dating out of order)' button. Honestly, if I'm going to go to the effort of clicking 'Edit' next to the date AND to change the date, I intend to either backdate or.. foredate (?) and it's going to be out of order. The button's just a hassle.
Not a bug. Just a complaint/suggestion
