This is a very annoying bug. The only way to get rid of it currently is to completely delete the character and recreate it from scratch.
#2 dalzig Mar 28, 2009 14:13:23	You could manually delete the journal entries from the character by opening the character file in a text-editor....
#3 cyberianhusky Mar 28, 2009 22:46:16	Hmm, well I tried the text editing, and while successful it was very fiddly and time-consuming, and does not address the real issue here : The programming that handles characters created in previous versions of the program needs improvement; it is not handling the transition of character journals very well, as evidenced by the fact that they cannot be deleted within the program!
#4 dalzig Mar 28, 2009 23:21:44	Oh, I completely agree. I was just giving an alternative to completely rebuilding the character.
#5 lancemoody Mar 28, 2009 23:36:28	I have mentioned in other threads that I think there may be a real problem with how the CB is saving our data. It looks like it is doing a sloppy job. It seems to be retaining data that should not be in the file. For instance, a weapon you add to your inventory and then later delete still seems to be in the data file for some reason. As we have seen in the HORRIBLE multiple power cards bug, the data file can be FULL of erroneous stuff. No one commented on my earlier mention of this but it could be something that comes back to bite us all later on. I don't know technically what is happening and was hoping someone more savvy might be able to confirm my suspicions. Lance
