Absolutely Peed Off!!!

Firstly, about my music player. If you do not wish to hear music then please click the off button at the top left hand corner of the gadget. Or you can press forward to hear another song.

I am well and truly peed off at the moment I can tell you. General opinion was that you wanted some of my old entries carried over to here, especially the ghost stories and one person mentioned another set of specific entries.

Well, I cannot get into my archives. My journal comes up fine, the first page that is - but when I go to older entries all I get is a page saying "Journals is not available"! I could use a string of expletives here about Aol. If I cannot get into my old entries to copy and save and my journal does not transfer successfully, then I lose everything. I only have two entries copied and saved so far and time is galloping by. I am hoping it is only a glitch and I will be able to access later but, as you can imagine, the air is blue right now.

I did manage to get into File Manager and save all my old graphics and pictures so that is one thing.

However, there are particular entries I do want save from my journal for myself, not just for you, my readers. They are family memories. I would never be able to write them again as they were. Oh, how I now wish I had printed everything off as I went along and kept them in a book. Too late now. I can only hope I can migrate it. I will continue to use the new one but at least I would be able to copy and paste from Blogger then.

Aol hell strikes again!

  1. Hi Jeannette, is this not the day we were supposed to be able to tranfer our aol journal I read that somewhere last week it was to be th 7th I don't know what to do, to save or not to save that is the question. Will pop over and take a look to see if I am getting the same response as you are.Love Joan.

  3. That is so annoying but AOL seems to be shutting down bit by bit I was lucky and was able to save my journal, but we have had no further information on the supposed migration, I was hoping there would be some info today. Hope nit is just a glitch and you can retrieve your entries.

  6. I think they might be overwhelmed with the amount of people assessing archives to try to save whatever they can. If they had any foresight they would of seen this happening and gave us a heads up with more than a month. I had thought i had saved my journal to disk. Only to find when I deleted the journal. The disk is toast it was linked into AOL and when I deleted it, you get the picture. Over the hill and across the dell we go....again. (Hugs)Indigo

  9. Oh dear, I can feel your anger through my computer! I'm sorry you are so frustrated with AOL. Perhaps it is a glitch as they try to get people up & running for the migration. I haven't tried to access my journal since copying & saving it. I love your musical selection - Behind Closed Doors is a wonderful song.

  10. Love the music! i definitely understand your anger i'm still totally outraged for them closing us down to begin with i can only imagine it's a thousand fold worse for you wanting to save your archives Hang in there hopefully today we can start the transfer smoothly..but i'm not holding my breath when it comes to AOL expletives for me too..Hugz~kbear

  11. We've all learned a powerful lesson here, I will now print each day of my journal to keep. I never thought about them closing. We know that change is a constant so we should have know better.
    Hope you can access them later. I'm going to try it now.

  12. How annoying Jeannette, Will AOL ever stop causing so much trouble for us? I wouldn`t mind betting that as they are closing the journals they aren`t doing any repairs on them anymore. Hopefully it`s just a glitch that you are experiencing and that it will soon clear. For the meantime let the air stay blue because thats what I would do too!

    Love Sandra xxxx

  13. I was able to print quite a few of my archives off last night Jeannette.Jan and I are peed off today because we cannot access out new blogs Grrr under a violation .So we have to sit back and cannot post in these now for a while until they are checked out.As lots I have learned today have.Could it be trolls we wonder pressing the flag tab or is it just we are the unlucky ones.It's said everyones are going to be scanned anyway.So I am feeling the same as you today.I do hope you manage to save all you need in time.Take care GodBless.Kath

  16. hopefully that bug on AOL has been worked out and you can grab the entries. I find it extremely slow going there these days... maybe all our typing kept the mice busy as now they are fast asleep.

  17. I hope they aren't going to start messing around with the journals already. I saved one like Jeannette told us to but not my other one. AOL is horrid.

  18. Oh Jeanette. I do hope you manage to save all your journal. I don't have anything in mine that I want to keep so that will save me some brain cells :).........alice

  19. I can't get into archives on mine either Jeannette...Am extremely pissed off as i have't had time to go and try and save specific entries yet...There is stuff about the boys and me describing what was happening and begging for help that i want to keep...I already had to delete one journal 2 years ago because the AOL screenie was discontinued...I had that saved onto my HD and could access it...But then my HD died a year ago so lost it.

  20. I tired a few days ago to look at some old entries but, I couldn't get to them. I had a few choice words myself. I haven't tried since. Hope you get the old entries.
