As you might have noticed, recent changes at LJ may result in more markup errors than before if your entries contain incorrect HTML. Semagic has an option to automatically replace 2 spaces with because most browsers do not display consecutive space characters. But Semagic does not preform HTML parsing so if that option is enabled all such characters will be replaced though that is allowed only for text according to HTML standards. If you type several spaces within such HTML tags like img and they are replaced by the resulting HTML <img src=""> will be treated as error. In WYSIWYG editing mode that is not a problem because you do not manually enter HTML at all.
So if for some reason you want to type HTML tags manually it may be better to disable the mentioned option in Options/View. Additionally, the latest version of the client removes all   tags placed inside <img>.
Among other news, for the second time Semagic and LiveJournal were mentioned at Microsoft site (the first time was about bloggin plugin). Now it is listed as one of applications that may behave differently on XP SP2. "Live Journal Semagic, version 1.3.9.6, vendor Live Journal" is listed among other products like Unreal Tournament, Norton Antivirus and Office XP. Complete list is available here.
Please remember that for most of users Semagic works in XP SP2. If it does not work you can use a solution provided in this community several entries earlier. It was not working on earlier versions of SP2 about a year ago and only for several users.

I tried replacing Cambria/l with Cambria/laborday/l, and off it went... forever, until I had to abort the program.
Could you possibly fix this?
Thanks.
Only, for some reason it keeps crashing every time I try to upload my friends list by pushing the 'upload from server' button. I tried installing slightly older versions hoping it was a new flaw, but no luck. Is this maybe the result of an XP firewall?
Yesterday my b/f and I got new computers (as in new, they were just other computers around all formatted and made like new). I'm not sure about him but I downloaded the latest version of Semagic but on both of our computers we can't connect to LJ. I get the "Cannot contact server - Try again later" error. I know the problem isn't with LJ because I can post using the web interface with no problems.
Any idea what the problem may be and how to fix it? I'm using WinXP.
Here is the content of that bug report:
Semagic client for Windows XP: version 1.4.3.6U (latest release)
In the MakeLink dialog box, I noticed there is now a new field for border="x" so some changes in that code must have been done.
Unfortunately, in adding this nice feature, tabbing from one field to the next (clicking the tab button) has been broken. It's especially annoying not being able to use the tab keystroke to jump between image height and width fields, needing to pause each time to get the pointer and click to the next field.
WYSIWYG History editor?
When are you planning to add the capability to WYSIWYG edit prior entries (from the History)?
Also, I cannot figure out how to read and edit comments. Is there a secret or does that capability not exist?

Semagic suggestion
Re: Semagic suggestion
I just downloaded the latest (from the above link) to my Win98SE machine (a Dell) this morning. It looks nice until I click on "WYSIWYG", wherein I get this:
LIVEJOURNAL caused an invalid page fault in

All I did was start Semagic, type two paragraphs of text into the editor window, click on "detect music now", and then click on the WYSIWYG button at the bottom. I reproduced it by also using the view -> WYSIWYG drop-down.
Windows Update indicates my machine is up-to-date (for a Win98SE box), I've run a full virus scan just last night, there's plenty of free disk space, etc...
Is there any other info I can supply you with to help aleviate this problem?
detecting music
just now it showed " - Butterfly Kisses." i deleted that, clicked in the area where i write the journal entry, then clicked the detect music button again and got "*** 20. Bob Carlisle - Butterfly Kisses." and now i get "isle - Butterfly Kisses."
i didn't have this problem when i was using winamp v2.91, but i now use winamp v5.05. is there anything i can do or am i just stuck with this?
