Question thread #125

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

I still don't know what a "dev" question is vs an "Feature or bug? I'm generally clueless" question, but here goes:

- On the beta create entries thingy, "Sticky to top of journal" is a checkbox. If I uncheck that box and save, nothing happens: the entry is still a sticky. I have tried on desktop and mobile, but I was using Safari both times.

- When editing display options in account settings, there are multiple options for IDs or URLs of entries to be sticky. Is it possible to create a way to reorder them by using arrows or clicking and dragging? I totally understand if that is a feature that would be more trouble than it is worth to include.

- Is the CSV/XML journal exporter the best free option for downloading journal entries? I ask because the FAQ describing it hasn't been updated in a few years.

Have you obtain op control of #dreamwidth IRC channel? I am no longer reading it since default bridging between IRC and martix have been turned off

Not yet, sorry. But I'm not letting myself forget I have to.

Assuming you mean when editing the entry after initially posting it, this looks like a bug to me. Can you report it on https://dw-beta.dreamwidth.org/13896.html so things about that page are in the same place?

Maybe, but I can't evaluate the effort required to implement it, or whether it would be practical without Javascript.

There are (or were) clients that can do that too, but I have no idea what their current status is.
