I've posted a couple of times about problems I have uploading pictures
and since then have had numerous replies to those posts from people
having the same problems. My main issue previously was that I could
still LOAD multiple pictures, but I could no longer add them one at a
time into my blog as I typed the text. I would upload the first one,
type some more text, go to upload the next one and all the other photos
had disappeared from the "photo cache". I have basically had to learn
to live with that and have been uploading one photo at a time as I need
it.
Today I received another response to one of my previous
forum posts and the person said they had had that problem and solved it
by signing out and signing back in. I tried that and it didn't work for
me so once again, I started typing my new post, came to where I wanted
to insert my first picture (one half of a rainbow), put it in, moved it
to "left", and then went back to "insert photo" to upload the next one
(the other half of the rainbow), inserted that and could not get it to
be on the same level as the first photo (and was using the small size so
there was PLENTY of room to have them side by side. When I inserted
it, it came in as "center" and I thought once I clicked on "right", it
would shift over and move back up to where I wanted it (and, yes, when I
uploaded the second picture, I had the cursor at the top right hand
corner of the first picture so it should have come up there).
At
any rate, I tried a couple more times and then came up with yet ANOTHER
issue (two new problems in one attempt at posting a blog!! a
record!!!) NOW, I upload the one photo, insert it where I want it, and
when I go back to upload the next photo (because remember there's no
sense uploading multiple photos cause they just disappear), I can't
upload it. I click on "browse files", find the photo I want, click
upload and get nothing - not an error message, not the little turning
circle that indicates it's working, just nothing. So then I have to
save what I've done, go back to "edit posts", open it back up again and
then I can put in one more photos.
This is insanely frustrating.
As I said, I learned to live with uploading one at a time - it annoyed
me, but I could deal with it. But the rest of this is just really
getting to be too much. And today, I looked through the various posts
for uploading picture problems and found one actually from the Blogger
Tech group dated MARCH 30, 2010 that said they were aware of the
problems and were working on getting it fixed and to keep checking back
for updates. But since that March 30 message, they haven't posted
again. They also suggested it might help to use the "old post editor"
setting so I tried that and it was AWFUL!! I can see why they developed
the new post editor. It's the only one I've used (I started my blog
last year) and it had been wonderful until the photo problems started
and they just seem to get worse and worse, and as far as I know, nothing
is being done about any of it.
Are there really Blogger techs?
Are they really working on problems such as these? The only thing that
seems to happen when problems are posted in the forum is that all the
bloggers reply saying yes they're having the same problems, or
suggesting things to try (which are usually either beyond me or don't
help) or reporting on the problems THEY'RE having.
Please,
please someone do something about this upload photos mess!! At this
point, if I knew how to move my blog somewhere else, I'd do it in a
minute!
