The chage_journal_type command in LiveJournal's Admin Console has been restricted. Not anyone can use it. --kunzite1 12:46, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Can you expand on (or rewrite) this ?


 * A Shared journal is a journal where several users can post to it. You cannot create a Shared journal; you can convert a community into a Shared journal. It is to be noted that this ability has been restricted and that not anyone can convert a community into a Shared journal.


 * To convert a community into a Shared journal, the person who created the community must log into their account then go to the Admin Console and use the change_type_journal command:


 * change_journal_type communityname shared


 * This person will also be the maintainer of the Shared journal and their password will be the password of the Shared journal.


 * To give other people posting access to the Shared journal, the maintainer must go to the Admin Console and use the sharedjournal command:


 * sharedjournalname add username


 * Should the maintainer want to take back this priviledge, they must type:


 * sharedjournalname remove username


 * To turn a Shared journal back into a community, the maintainer must go to the Admin Console and type:


 * change_journal_type sharedjournalname community

What I meant to say is that even the owner of a Shared journal cannot convert it to a Community. This functionality has been since removed from LiveJournal's settings. --kunzite1 14:53, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Oh! oh. Then what about:


 * A Shared journal is a community which has been converted into a journal where several users can post. It is no longer possible to convert a community into a Shared journal.

OK. Here's the deal: A Shared Journal is a journal that was created after the invention of Personal Accounts but before the invention of Community Accounts. A Shared Account is exactly the same as a Personal Account except that multiple people can post to it, just like a community and the Shared Account cannot post to itself. It is impossible to create new Shared Accounts on LiveJournal. --kunzite1 18:41, 7 December 2006 (EST)
