I'm having the same problem. I can upload photos from the website, but not from my iPhone. I have tried several times. The email is moved to sent folder, but does not appear in brightkite

Hi Uncle Foobar, it looks like your emails were getting caught in spam. Your posts should go through okay now, please let us know if you continue to have problems. :) – Lesley, on August 04, 2008 17:37

1 Aug 08; still having issues. Also sent Test message with no photo and it did not post. Your server worked in the past but started eating photos sometime in the last month or so. Using iPhone.

I think i noticed something: say someone annoys me. If i make them my "friend" i then have the power to block them out of my stream, which doesn't quite make sense (that i make someone annoying into my "friend")

A comment on the question "if i block someone i NEVER want to see their postings unless i unblock them" in Brightkite:

Talking about the Around Me stream; sometimes it feels like walking down a too busy sidewalk. It's hard because we form a geo-community, but at the same time some people (i'm straining not to use "violate") just over-do participation in the Around me; familiarity breeds contempt. – Uncle Foobar, on July 24, 2008 15:36

Hi Uncle Foobar, are you talking about your Friend stream or your Around Me stream? If it's the latter, then blocking will not prevent posts from showing in this stream. We are looking into implementing this in the future though. If you block someone, it should prevent their posts from showing in your Friend stream from that point forward, but it will not retroactively remove their old posts. I know this can be frustrating and we are working on ways to improve the blocking feature.

a Block should really remove the person from my stream;
i have a verbal diarrhea person that i just don't want to
see; since it's my stream i should be able to customize
it, including getting rid of irrelevant.
