Journals?
 

Is there an issue with journals? I've been trying to resolve a single entry for about 5 minutes. Something seems a tad bit... slow.

they are so slow its painful....I had to give up reading any right now because its taking so long

Right now, the single entry button is loading all the user's entries. This is what seems to be holding things up. I'm sure Halx will get around to it eventually. So, if a user has a bunch of entries it may take some time.

I'm new here... How do I change my journal description?

If you look just above your first journal entry there should be a "journal tools" link. Click on that and go down to "edit journal settings." In there you can change the name and description.
