Now that Bell is going to start offering the iPhon, I wonder if their going to continue crippling even that item's capabilities with their retarded coding issues.

I suspect our problem is low on the list, given how few of us are complaining about it.

Just wondering if there'd been any progress on this.

The problem is with larger images, not smaller ones.

lonita reported a problem in Soup on June 08, 2009 11:58:

Service import icons

It seems that each post I import has the correct service icon next to it EXCEPT for imports from tumblr. They all seem to have some generic arrow icon. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm still having this issue. I used the in-built option to change the image sizes (which isn't working right either) and this problem started occurring.

lonita replied on June 08, 2009 11:15 to the question "How to get content bigger?" in Soup:

I adjusted the width via that little box, but it doesn't seem to be working for all the images on my page.

You know, I found (and implemented) one about five minutes after I wrote that comment. :>

lonita replied on June 08, 2009 04:10 to the question "Is it possible to have a page listing all the tags of a tumblr?" in Tumblr:

Any progress on this yet? I'd like to have a sidebar list of my tags, or at least a link to a page that lists all tags (I hate tag clouds). Even some kind of widget or iframe list would be fab.

Still no resolutions anywhere. I've sent yet another email to Bell. No doubt they'll give it the same 'attention' they gave the last one.

lonita replied on June 04, 2009 09:29 to the problem "Sprint pic mail not compatible?" in TwitPic:

A vote for a Bell Mobility fix as well. I'm getting very frustrated at not being able to use ANY of the photo-blogging services the way they were meant to be used. Bell doesn't give a crap - they blame all the issues on the third-party sites.

lonita replied on June 04, 2009 09:06 to the problem "Problems with Sprint Picture phone upload" in Mobog:

I am going to lay dollars to doughnuts that whatever problems are being experienced with Sprint are the same I'm experiencing with Bell Mobility in Canada. It does the same things to pictures in MMS messages that I've heard has been happening with Spring customers - embedding images into emails that can't be dug out by normal means, overriding the subject content so that it sends all photos with a Picture / Video Message as a title instead of what the user inputs, small images when you've sent large ones.

Other people on other services have complained of these issues, sometimes they're fixed, but Bell won't alter its coding habits to accomodate the same things other services don't get in the way of. It's very frustrating. There isn't a single mobile photo blogging service that I can use the way it's meant to be used.

They blame it on third-party lack of coding ability. There is apparently a solution out there, other sites have used it with the Spring network in the US. It has the same issues we're complaining of here. I wish someone would just get around to fixing that up for us.

I've tried talking to Bell too. I would suggest going to their website and using one of the feedback forms there to make the complaints. If nothing else, at least there'll be a record of the complaint. I'm not sure they always forward vocal concerns to the right people.

If Bell would just NOT embed items into HTML, it would be great. No one else who provides service around here seems to find it a problem.

I suggest that you go to the Bell website and send them email complaining of the various issues we're experiencing here.

Faboo!

I've done a lot of whinging today, and have appreciated the response, so I'd like to take the opportunity to say what a wonderful idea Plinky is. It has so much potential, yet is so simple at the same time. Whoever thought it up deserves a cookie. Give them a BIG cookie!

lonita replied on February 04, 2009 01:41 to the problem "Bad formatting of posts to Tumblr" in Thing Labs:

I'm betting it's got something to do with the coding of the Flexible Squares theme I'm using on LJ - maybe there's just too many divs confusing each other.

lonita asked a question in Thing Labs on February 04, 2009 01:24:

Plinky icon in posts

The Plinky icon that goes into shared posts doesn't show up well as my background is black. Do you think you'll be adding either a text link or an image where the icon text is more visible?

My LJ url is: http://lonita.livejournal.com

If you look you'll see the huge amount of whitespace. It doesn't happen on the feed that goes to my website via LJ, just on LJ itself.

They appear to have posted! Thanks!

lonita replied on February 04, 2009 01:01 to the problem "Posting to Blogger fails." in Thing Labs:

Yes, it is. I just this minute tried sharing something, and it's still hanging, as well as the one I tried to post an hour or so ago.
