Even before the first thing, make sure you're ready to come with us. If you can't see this entry then you're definitely not on the list for the move yet. Get in touch with us so we can get that fixed.

First off, I'm going to strongly suggest to everyone that they either claim their comments or register an email to their openID. By doing this, you'll make sure that you get an email notification if someone replies to your older comments in any of the communities.

You can claim your comments by going here and filling in the livejournal address. A warning, read the email they send you carefully, especially if you're claiming more than one journal's worth of comments. Dreamwidth sent me an email asking me to claim Cho's comments with Jack's journal. I'm just glad I caught it before I clicked. It's not dangerous. As long as you read the email and make sure the two journals mentioned are the ones you want linked, you'll be fine.

If you don't want to claim your comments log in to dreamwidth with your character's livejournal openID. Then go into your account settings and enter an email address. Once You're logged in with an openID, you can also upload up to 15 icons if you want to. I would recommend uploading at least one, so it makes it easier to see who the tag is from at a glance.

Now, for the actual game stuff. Everyone needs to friend grant access to the mod journals (yes, there are two now): betenoire_admin and magistrated. Subscribing is not enough, guys. Granting access it the equivalent of LJ friending. Subscribing just means you're watching the journals. I know how the whole subscribe/grant access to thing works, but having all current players in the 'mutually granted access' category makes it easier for the mods. I would suggest that you also subscribe to them, because they will be used more heavily than they were on LJ, but that's up to you.

Once you've done that, you need to check out the taken characters table and the contact list and make sure the information there is correct. If it is, comment and tell us so. If it's not, comment with the changes you'd like made. Either way, you must comment on the pages so we know you've checked them. No character journal will be let into the communities until they've done so.

Everyone also needs to go and read the game rules, even if you've already done so. Then you need to comment to the post to show us you've read them, as stated in the final rule.

And... that's pretty much it. I hope you guys are excited for the move as I am. I know I was on the fence before, but I've been really encouraged by the awesome customer service I've gotten from dreamwidth staff so far, and their overall attitude toward RPers.

To recap:
1. grant access to both mod journals (betenoire_admin and magistrated)
2. comment on contact list (even if the info is correct, you have to comment)
3. comment on taken page (ditto)
4. read the rules (all the way to the end. they've changed a little)

I've tried with both journals and with both I can see the taken characters page but I don't have permission to view the contact list. I've granted access to both mod journals.

[betenoire_admin]

you caught me just before my morning update. you should be able to see them now.

[forrade]

Contact list is still locked. :(

[betenoire_admin]

I just sat down to do another round of access granting. Yours was in this batch. Try it now?

[doomed_copper]

Weird...I've got a Dreamwidth account now, but for some reason in the character list, there isn't a little icon next to my username. What did I do wrong? Confused.com, lol. :)

[doomed_copper]

Also, when I try to access the contact list, it says it's 'protected' and I don't have permission to view it, even though I've granted access to both betenoire_admin and magistrated. Let me know! :)

[betenoire_admin]

There is a delay in the taken page, because until a player comments to the dreamwidth journal list (which I see you just did) I don't know what username they're planning to use on dreamwidth.

As for the contact page, when you grant access, I get an email, and then I have to grant access back, and then you can view it. We do things this way to protect player information. Some people don't want their contact info available to the JRP community in general.

[doomed_copper]

Gotcha! :) Thanks for the clarification.

[betenoire_admin]

My pleasure.

[megamind]

Everything is done and taken care of!

[myfedorarocks]

I don't have access to the communities through this journal, but I do have it on my other three.

[betenoire_admin]

I have no more pending memberships. Is it possible you forgot to join with this one?

You can either try to join again and I'll approve it, or wait until I get to the invites a little later on.

[myfedorarocks]

We have mutual access, so I don't believe so. I can join the comms, though?

[betenoire_admin]

I just sent out a big batch of invites. You should be in them. Let me know if there's any problem with it.

[myfedorarocks]

No, no problems. I got them all.

Thank you!

[betenoire_admin]

np ^_^

[mrcomatose]

I'm unable to see the contact list, but I'll make sure to check it once I've been given access.

[betenoire_admin]

Access granted. You should be able to see it now.

[wood4_quidditch]

Okay, I have granted access (mutual access granting) and subscribed and I still can't see the contact list. :( What am I missing here?
