Plus Account expiries on the archive system have been run tonight. If you are a Supporter on the new system but the old system has expired you and you wish to keep on using the old system too, please let me know. You do NOT have to pay twice, but the old system will not recognise Supporter Payments made on the new system. Please e-mail me or let me know here if this is you and I will manually enter your payment into the archive/legacy/old system.

I have received emails today that indicate somewhere approaching 50 spam diaries were set up today. Clearly that’s just ridiculous. As such, despite still being in mid-exam fever, I have taken some time out to implement the Terms and Conditions system. When you next login (if you haven’t done so already) you will be presented…

We have found an alternative hosting solution for DearDiary.Net (and .org) and associated hostings. It appears to be faster, definitely better customer service so far, and it’s half the price… With that in mind, over the next couple of days (exactly when is presently unknown!) the sites will be moving (yet again, I know… But…
Hi all, Currently there’s no ‘penalty’ for a Supporter when their subscription expires because the system doesn’t actually do anything when a subscription runs out. In the next few days (possibly a week or so) this will change. In a few days, if your Supporter status has expired any plugins that your diary uses that…
Hi I have today paid my plus account for the next year as it had expired. But there seems to be no action or record on this site. Can you explain Totally in the dark here. Just did what was ask by email from Deardiary! Jennifer Dow
