Fighting Blogger For Dale

Hey!
It looks like we get a post today after all.

So far, the biggest effect of the latest Upgrade to blogger is that the image uploader is even more frelled than before.

It used to be that the uploader would hang on a few images in the batch and just spin its wheels. So, the easy fix was close the window, then open it again and let it reload what was there. Then you could grab the couple/few it missed.

But now, when you close the window and re-open, it doesn't even try to remember what it had been doing - so start all over again and cross those extraneous digits. Maybe it'll get 'em all this time.

Half an hour later, we've got all the pages, but by now my mind has wandered and i've got no clue what i was going to write about them. So, those of you that dread wading through my blabbage to get to the comics, Thank Blogger.

And those of you who might actually wonder what i had to say - Thank Blogger, but in a different way.

Here's the complete run of Lucky Dale - Um...  something something something. I forgets...







While setting the tags, i realized that one of these stories ran here before from when it reprinted in Space Detective. Although Dale only had 5 stories, she appeared over a dozen times with reprints.

  1. Umm, yeah, that Blogger upgrade with the pictures sucks. I have no idea who to complain to. Google doesn't offer customer support for Blogger, because it's a free product. The user forum can help with normal "tips and tricks", but if there's a "bug" or a feature that's been removed, you're out of luck.

    1. Unfortunately, i'm one of those who tends to trigger strange, even unique, system glitches and bugs. And Google provides zero human contact to deal with them. I've had problems for years that i want to address, but posting to a public forum would be counter-productive on some.
      I've actually been contemplating trying a snail mail contact.
