» How do I check my InsaneJournal e-mail?
As an added benefit for our "Self-committed" [paid] and Permanently Insane account holders, InsaneJournal offers a neat e-mail alias system. When you have a Self-committed or Permanently Insane account, people can send mail to your @insanejournal.com e-mail address, which is in the form of exampleusername@insanejournal.com , where "exampleusername" should be replaced with your username.
Any mail sent to your exampleusername@insanejournal.com address will be forwarded to whatever e-mail address you have listed on your Edit Personal Information page (http://www.insanejournal.com/editinfo.b
As an added security measure, you can select the level of visibilty of your e-mail addresses, as seen on your User Info page (http://www.insanejournal.com/userinfo.b
If wanted, you can completely disable your @insanejournal.com e-mail alias by logging in (http://www.insanejournal.com/login.bml

» Is JavaScript or Flash allowed in my styles?
Neither JavaScript or Flash are allowed in your customized styles because they can involve security problems.
Since users can log in to InsaneJournal and have their username/password saved, if we allowed either JavaScript or Flash, people could write scripts to intercept the username/password and save it, or e-mail it to the malicious script author. We've looked into solutions to allow JavaScript and Flash, but there seems to be no good way to prevent them from having access to the cookies on your computer which store this information.
If you know of a robust way for us to allow JavaScript or Flash, please let us know! For now, however, all JavaScript and Flash is removed from journal styles and overrides before it's sent to any browser.

» How do I add a poll into my journal entries?
You must either be an Early Inmate, "Self-committed" [paid] or Permanently Insane account holder in order to create any polls on InsaneJournal.
For information on the different account types, see http://www.insanejournal.com/support/fa
Early Inmates and paid users have access to creating polls in their own journals, as well as in any community journals (whether free or paid) that they have posting access to. Free Patients may only vote in the polls.
To create a poll, visit the following:
The Poll Creator (http://www.insanejournal.com/poll/crea
The Poll Creator will conveniently generate your poll's coding for you, based on your specifications. You then simply copy and paste the code into a brand new journal entry.
Read the rest of this FAQ if you require further understanding of how to put together your polls, question types, use, and poll attributes. With the below information, you may also choose to write the code for your poll manually, instead of using the poll creator. Either method will work fine.
When writing a journal entry, you can tell the InsaneJournal servers that you want to start a poll by inserting the <lj-poll> tag. When the server parses this tag, it knows to display a poll based on the questions (<lj-pq>; "poll questions") and possible answers (<lj-pi>; "poll items") you provide. However, to make sure your poll displays properly, you need to provide a closing tag for every opening tag you declare.
A very basic poll would follow like so:
<lj-poll>
<lj-pq type=radio>
What is your name?
<lj-pi>Sir Launcelot of Camelot</lj-pi>
<lj-pi>Sir Robin of Camelot</lj-pi>
<lj-pi>Arthur, King of the Britains</lj-pi>
</lj-pq>
</lj-poll>
Each tag has different attributes, for example, a poll can be named by including the following attribute: <lj-poll name="My First Poll">
Different attributes defined:
----------------------------------
<lj-poll> (beginning poll tag)
name="..."
Labels the poll with a descriptive, easy to remember name.
whovote="all(default),friends"
Specifies who is allowed to vote in your poll; options include any InsaneJournal user (all), or just the people on your friends page (friends).
whoview="all(default),friends,none"
Specifies who is allowed to view who voted for what choices in your poll; options include either any InsaneJournal user (all), just the people on your friends page (friends), or no one (none). Depending on the security level of the post that the poll resides in, people might be able to see the statistical data (percentages and bar graphs) of the poll, even if this option is specified as "none".
Ex:
<lj-poll name="The Bridge of Death" whovote="friends" whoview="all">
(This starts a poll named the "The Bridge of Death", where only the people on your friends list can vote. Anyone can see the raw data.)
<lj-pq> (poll question)
type="check,drop,radio,scale,text"
Ex:
<lj-pq type=text>
"What is your quest?"
</lj-pq>
Question Type specifications (<lj-pq type="?">)
-----------------------------------
type="radio"
Each item listed as a possible answer will have a radio button next to it, which means that people can only select one possible answer. At least one <lj-pi>possible answer</lj-pi> must be specified per each "radio" question.
type="check"
Each item listed as a possible answer will have a check box next to it, which means that multiple choices may be selected. At least one <lj-pi>possible answer</lj-pi> must be specified per each "check" question.
type="drop"
Each item listed as a possible answer will be displayed in a drop down selection box, so that only one answer may be viewable after selection. At least one <lj-pi>possible answer</lj-pi> must be specified per each "drop" question.
type="text"
Displays a box that allows a person to freely type in a string of text as their answer. When a text input question is declared, there are no possible choices to be displayed (<lj-pi>).
Text has 2 possible attributes, "size" and "maxlength". Example, size="30" will display a 30 character wide input box, while maxlength="50" will limit the voters' answers to 50 characters each.
The limit for the "size" is 100. The limit for "maxlength" is 255.
type="scale"
Displays seperate numeric options based on the information specified. Voters are typically expected to be ranking or rating something, based on a number scale given.
If absolutely no attributes (discussed below) are specified, it will be assumed that a straight from 1 to 10 choice is desired.
Scale has 3 possible attributes, "from", "to", and "by", which defines the range of the question. "from" is the beginning number, "to" is the finishing number (which is required to be greater than the "from"), and "by" is the value of units in between each choice; this value must be at least 1 or greater.
For example, if you want to make one of your questions "How old is old?" and wanted to include choices between 40 - 100, but only want choices in increments of 5 (eg 40, 45, 50, etc), you would input: <lj-pq type=scale from=40 to=100 by=5>
Scale type questions must be limited to 20 possible choices per question. (eg, scale from 1 to 100 by increments of 5 is ok; scale from 1 to 100 by increments of 1 is not)
By using the scale method, the InsaneJournal servers are able to tell you interesting numerical statistics on the way people have voted, such as the median and the average.
A few things to remember:
----------------------------------
Each tag needs an appropriate closing tag.
Each <lj-pq> requires a "type" attribute.
The question text must follow immediately after the <lj-pq> tag.
<lj-pi> tags are for radio, check, and drop questions only. All possible answers are wrapped in <lj-pi> tags </lj-pi>. They are to be inserted after the question's text, but before the question's closing tag </lj-pq>
Poll tags need to be nested correctly in order to work (ie, you need to close a question before you start a new one).
You can only create a poll when you first create an entry. ie, you cannot edit an old post and include a new poll.
Polls unfortunately at this point in time can not be posted using the Rich Text Editor, and instead require use of the HTML editor.
You cannot edit a poll once it has been made.
Polls may be embedded into journal entries only -- not comments.
Each IJ user is allowed only 1 vote in a poll.
After you've voted in a poll, you can change your answer by clicking on the poll #, and then clicking the [ Fill-out Poll ] link at the top.

» What happens to Self-committed accounts once they expire?
Paid account expiration has different effects on different users, depending on the status of their accounts before they became Self-committed.
If you paid to create a new journal, or if you purchased paid time for a pre-existing free account, your account status will convert back to "Free Patient" after your paid time expires.
If your account status was "Early Inmate" before you paid for your account, it will convert back to the Early Inmate status once your paid time expires. You will still have the status provisions that you had before, as outlined in [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/f
If you have created a style for your journal, you will still be able to use that style for your journal layout. You will also be able to switch back and forth between your custom style and the system styles. However, you won't be able to modify your custom style in any way. In order to further customize your journal, you would need to either purchase additional paid time for the account or use overrides, as detailed in the FAQs. See [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/f
If you have created a custom mood theme [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/f
If you have uploaded 10 user pictures [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/f

» How does the text messaging feature work?
"Self-committed" [paid] and Permanently Insane account holders now have the option of letting visitors send them text messages on their cellphone or pager. The cool part about this is that:
* Your cell/pager number stays secret. Only InsaneJournal knows it, and uses it to send you text messages from other users.
* You can control who can send you text messages (anybody, registered users, or only people you list as a friend).
If you have a Self-committed or Permanently Insane account (http://www.insanejournal.com/support/f
From there you can select your cellphone or pager provider and number. If your provider isn't listed, but your service supports text messaging, please post a request in the lj_textmessage community (http://lj_textmessage.livejournal.com/
If you receive text messages via e-mail, you must include the following information:
* The name of the service (be specific).
* The e-mail address which is used to send messages.
* Any limit on the length of the name of the sender, the subject, and the message.
* Any other information you may have.
If you receive text messages via a web page, you must include:
* The name of the service (be specific).
* The URL of the page, preferably of the receiving script.
* The address of the recipient (phone number? username?).
* Any limit on the length of the name of the sender, the subject, and the message.
* Any extra fields that need to be submitted.
* Any other information you may have.
They'll be more than willing to add support for it, providing that you are willing to help test the service. This will ordinarily mean that you must be willing to receive a test message and let LiveJournal know whether you received it and whether it came through properly formatted and without anything cut off, etc. There is also the possibility that in some cases, more than one test message will be required.
Important Note: Although InsaneJournal makes no extra charge for this feature, your service provider may charge for each text message you receive. Please check with your service provider for details.

This will ordinarily mean that you must be willing to receive a test message and let LiveJournal know whether you received it and whether it came through properly formatted and without anything cut off, etc. There is also the possibility that in some cases, more than one test message will be required.
Important Note: Although InsaneJournal makes no extra charge for this feature, your service provider may charge for each text message you receive. Please check with your service provider for details.
