OK, testing time!
Journal passwords have been totally removed.
All journals now have a friends permission list instead, so you can control exactly who sees it.
This is located at
jperms.html on whichever skin you use.
It might take a bit for them to show up on the non-www skin as I copy it over and it recaches.
Please test this out and let me know if it works for you!
(also, I fixed a longstanding bug with the Private journal setting not working correctly while I was at it)
