We fixed the cutoff bug a couple weeks ago, and we're working on adding "More" and fixing a journal deletion bug. If there's a layout problem other than that, I haven't seen a report, so any detail you could provide would be helpful.
On the page that lists my journals ( https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=list&uid=454276 [slashdot.org] ) and when I write a new journal entry at https://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=edit [slashdot.org] I end up with 4 identical slashboxes. The one with my profile and my User Space. The extra one is in the center column and so I need to scroll down to get to the actual page content. You can see a couple screen shots here [geeksinaction.org] and here [geeksinaction.org].
I've filed a bug report to get this looked at. As far as writing a new entry, you can use ( https://slashdot.org/journal [slashdot.org] ), which should just show a clean entry form.
We deprecated most of our *.pl pages a while ago, but occasionally find links to pages that don't play well with the new layout. In this case, ( https://slashdot.org/~stoolpigeon/journal [slashdot.org] ) provides a list of your journal entries, but obviously not a comprehensive list like the journal.pl page, which I presume is what you'd prefer.
This has nothing to do with bugs but something that would be nice - a method for exporting journals. I have 9 years of them now. A long while back leoPetr (when he was still lpetrazickis I think) wrote a journal archiver in Python but it doesn't work any more as the site has changed quite a bit since back then. I've hacked a way at it since then but my coding fu is weak. Anyway, it would be nice.
thanks again.

Since this is a time to talk about Slashdot and what will happen to it -- any time line on fixing the layout for Journal pages?

Can you elaborate?
