this journal now doesn't have an opition to change the page background, font color, font, font site, basically an editor bar with an opition to instert a pic.

[AN-net]

you change fonts using the vbulletin editor for entries. page customization will become available in 2.0+

Thanks for porting this up to 3.5.x. Can't wait to see it's Gold release.

It's one of my favorite hacks, and one that looks "pro" too.

Error on upgrade:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.9:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE journal_settings ADD `version` VARCHAR( 30 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL' at line 1

This occurs from script:
journalupgrade2.php

On step 2/5

vBulletin 3.0.9
MySQL version 4.0.24

Don't mean to be persistant, but when will this be made for 3.5? I'm using 1.0.2 Beta for 3.5 and it's pretty buggy.

@Kenny Pollock
If you would report bugs (so far I havn't seen any bugreport from you) instead of just complaining about their existance, then they could be fixed.
Just complaining about them doesn't help much, as I am not aware of any bugs at the moment.
So, please let me know what the bugs are.
Thank you.

@Nighteyes
mySQL 4.0 does not have collation support.

Wasn't complaining. I'm new to vB from IPB and looked for a blog replacement from Invision's and saw posts that said there were a few versions of vB Journal around and by different authors.

Comments aren't posting to the blogs my users have, it makes the entry in the database but the message field is left blank. $_POST['message'] isn't passing to the database.

New journals seem to be towards the end, shouldn't they be at the top like regular blogs?

Is there an ability to recount comments/entries/journals? I wrote an Invision Blog to vB Journal converter and all those stats didn't count (forgot to update the table). A lot of scripts like vB and Photopost have this recount feature, I didn't see it with vB Journal.

Thank you.
