Thanks @ashponders. Can you post more about what caused this and what the fix was?

Thanks, that would make sense.

After experiencing a handful of repro'able crashes, all accounts deleted whenever I add more than 5 accounts, the state persistence problem (I'll come back to the same screen for days on end, plus a zillion permanently unread DMs), it feels like the v2 QA process may not have reached enough people (or enough people doing unusual things). Or that I should be a beta tester ;-)

That might be endemic with the iPhone release process, or it just happens that I'm an outlier and have encountered a bunch of problems. Either way, glad to hear about 2.1.

Multiple accounts deleted between runtimes

I have multiple accounts configured, and when I exit and restart the app (T2/iPhone), most or all accounts are deleted.

troy asked a question in Tumblr on October 11, 2009 15:54:

How do I migrate to Tumblr without breaking existing post URLs?

I have a blog. I don't like running it myself. People link to specific posts, and they're indexed by search engines. I want to keep those post URLs and move them to Tumblr (it's on a subdomain, which I'd point to Tumblr).

I couldn't find an answer on GetSat, yet it seems like a problem that any existing blog would have, so I'm hopeful.

What's the best way to solve it with Tumblr? Best for me: let me pick URL paths for my existing posts.

How do I import existing posts from WordPress, maintaining URL paths?

I have an existing blog that I want to keep existing posts from, and on the existing URLs (I'd re-point the subdomain to soup.io). Is there automatic import with path preservation?

If not, when writing posts, can I at least provide an arbitrary path relative to the blog's hostname (ie, freeform path)?

Same question for the RSS feed. I've got folks subscribed to the existing feed, and being able to create an alias would be killer. Even letting me specify an "old RSS path" would be wonderful -- it would then expose a static RSS file on that path, containing 1 post: "Change your RSS reader to this new URL."

Show my outstanding Calls to Action in Web interface (tasks)

We get a lot of applications and I try to queue them up for 2-3 days. This call to action queue grows as emails in my inbox, instead of letting me hit a tab for Calls to Action to show anything where my feedback has been requested. I could see the person's CTA comment, link to the candidate, add my own comment/vote, or discard the CTA w/o answering.

Comments you wrote are hidden until you vote

When I make a comment about a candidate ("Just Comment" w/o voting), my own comment is hidden until I vote. This seems odd.

Include candidate names in URLs

Include candidate names in URL slugs so the URL also says who's being mentioned.
