I seem to have an account! Thank you luminosity. :) Now to figure out how this works.

The import tool does not seem to have imported my pretty pictures. Foof.

Ooh ooh, you're here!

Indeed I am. I did not like LJ anymore -- it's not very homey these days. This looks cozy, and I need to locate everyone I know and add them. It's good to see you!:)

You too!

You can upgrade yourself to a Seed or Paid Premium Account, by the way, from now until the end of closed beta, and get 200 icon slots. The extra icons will go inactive after the 30th, but be reactivated if you get some paid time.

I did not see that option anywhere. Maybe you only get those features if you're a volunteer, which I am not. I upgraded to the equivalent of a paid account and got six icons slots. I think it's as good as it gets for now. That's a little disappointing because I'm such an icon fool. but hey. Maybe they will open an option for more at some point. I know that I'll never be able to get a seed account. Paid, yes, probably.

BetaHelper to upgrade for icon slots

Should have linked you! There's a BetaHelper page where you can upgrade yourself during the closed beta:

Seed or Paid Premium are the levels that will get you lots of icon slots. I'm not a volunteer or staffer of any kind, and was able to change mine.

Change it and try importing your icons again? You can run the importer again, just for userpics.

A few of them may not import at all; that was a bug and I'm not sure if they've gotten to it yet. I uploaded my resistant-to-import ones manually from my HD.

It worked, and I am boundlessly grateful. Now I can even have the icon you made for me. :)

... if I find it. Ish dumb, but I don't think I saved it to disk.

(Delete or screen this comment if you don't want a direct connection from your LJ name to your DW name -- the gallery has your LJ name on it.)

I was unsuccessful in uploading LJ icons directly from LJ to DW -- LJ allows hotlinking but doesn't seem to like grabbing-for-upload -- but you could try that. Or just download and re-upload from your puter.
