Semagic

Hi, I hope its ok to ask this here, but I am using Semagic to post to DW and posting is working, and crossposting works fine too. But the "edit friends" section doesn't appear to be working. I know from the wiki that we can't retrieve custom groups through it, but should we be able to retrieve just a list of subscribers? Or is DW's code too different and the friend management through semagic is something just not able to be done? If I click "update from server" it appears to connect, send and recieve data (I do not get an error message at all and I can see the numbers showing it is transmiting data in the client dialogue box) but I'm not getting any results.

Its not a problem if it doesn't work at all. I just want to make sure I'm not just doing something wrong...

Have you tried uploading a pre-existing Dreamwidth entry into Semagic? This is a known Semagic bug, that tags management doesn't work until after you pull in an entry from the LJ clone/fork site.

That must be what got it working. I did this last night (although without intending to fix the tag problem) and now I see a Tags field. Thanks!
