Importing Memories

[azurite]

I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a nifty Premium Paid account, so I imported pretty much everything that was importable from LiveJournal to DW. Alas, it looks like Memories are not part of that...or are they? I imported before I bought the account, so I'm wondering if I should re-import in order to get my Memories (category keywords for the memories, and what entries are in those categories), or if

a) that's not even possible; I should do it manually
or
b) it is possible but it'll result in boatloads of duplicates

Anyone know? I tried searching the FAQ, but it just mentions the memory basics, like what they are and such, nothing about importing.

Also, there's no tag about memories here, so... :D

You're right--memories don't work properly on LJ and never have, and they're horribly clunky anyway.

So they're planning a completely new system, similar to the way Delicious deals with stuff, which'll be nice.

What do you mean 'don't work properly?' My experience with Memories on LJ has been good in all the years I've been using it, but I don't know what other users may have gone through.

I don't fully know--Brad said they weren't working properly and he planned to fix them in some news post or other soon after I signed up, and he never did do what he meant to. I think there was something about some memories just disappearing, some issues with privacy controls, and something else.

But it's all from memory, I gave up on the functionality soon after I signed up, and haven't missed it--I use delicious as that lets me save stuff from anywhere.

I may, of course, be misremembering, but I know a lot of the staff were never happy with the feature.
