Posting to Multiply is currently broken.
Posting to Multiply is currently broken. Ping.fm claims it can authenticate, but when even when I explicitly tell it to post to Multiply, my ruminations fail to appear under my account. It's worked in the past, so something has changed recently that breaks it. If I want something to appear on all my blogs, I have to pass it through ping.fm, *then* go and manually post it through Multiply's interface.
I’m irritated

Inappropriate?It looks like Multiply took away the "guestbook" feature that we were using to post microblogs. You should still be able to update status and post blogs. I will change it so the microblogs go to the blog section.

btw, i never had saw microblogs go to the guestbook. mine went to the about me section which is why i stopped using ping. i thought that was a horrible place for them to go. but now that ping is on nambu, i thought i'd give it a go again. -
Multiply did not have a "status" section, so the "about me" was the closest match. There is a setting on http://ping.fm/multiply to disable updating the status. With this new update, the status and microblog will show as a "quick note"
-
Inappropriate?Actually, I never used the microblogging feature with Multiply. I only ever used the Blogging component. (Wish it supported Multiply videos and pic albums, though.)
I’m unsolved

yeah, i'll never use ping for regular blogging because i generally add lots of photos to my posts. besides, you can blog on multiply and crosspost to jillions of other places. i'd rather just do that.

Inappropriate?Blog posting to Multiply is still broken, intermittently. Some full blog pings make it to Multiply as well as my Facebook and LJ accounts, and some only show up on Facebook and LJ. I haven't been able to discern what causes it, and it's gotten bad enough that I'm having to think about manually updating separate services again, or finding a different tool to do it.
I’m disenchanted

Inappropriate?:-P I didn't even see the comments here last time I visited. Such is the problem of a laptop screen.
Mini-blog posts used to post to the title of the "About Me" section on Multiply, which was an idiotic place for them to post, in my opinion. But now that Multiply has QuickNotes, which is a mini-blogging component for personal sites, mini-blog posts should go directly to QuickNote form when it hits Multiply.

Inappropriate?Meg, I was going to open that as a separate ticket; It keeps problems segregated. (They're pretty responsive to new tickets, too.)
Anyway, of 25 blog (not micro-blog) posts made since May 3rd, all made it to Facebook, 18 made it to Multiply (75%), and 19 made it to LiveJournal (79%).
The ones that failed to reach Multiply were:
Getting Started - b - lj,fb
802.11 b/g channel wavelengths - b - lj-fb
Playing with Flickr - b - lj-fb
I'm annoyed at SourceForge - b - lj-fb
There are a couple ways I love this video - b - lj
Stop me if you've heard this one - b - lj-fb
ABC meme, twisted - b - lj-fb
No blog post after June 9th (anything past and including "Playing with Flickr") made it to Multiply, and several before that also failed to reach their destinations.
(The -b is my personal notation for identifying which posts were blog posts; I'm not counting microblog posts in this ticket. The lj and fb at the end of the line were how I tracked which posts made it to which services.)
The ones that failed to reach LiveJournal were:
Polarikey - mu-fb
Photos of Fire - mu-fb
So I'm Running Gentoo - b - mu-fb
Weekends are made to be screwy - mu-fb
Google for "Bill of Federalism" - mu-fb
So everyone in the building thinks I'm gay - mu-fb
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Multiply made a big change on their end which caused our side to stop working. We will get it back up and working as soon as possible.
-
Inappropriate?Glad to hear you're working on it. Is there anything I can do to help test, or any way I can find out/be informed when Multiply support should be fully functional again?
I’m thankful

yeah, i'm with mike on this. have you already been chatting with the multiply staff or should we tap them on the shoulder about this? just let us know what we can do, if anything.
-
I am not even sure if Multiply is aware of Ping.fm. Their site does not have an API (that I am aware of) which is what makes it a little harder to integrate. All the work has to be done on our end so it's not necessary to contact them.

Inappropriate?excellent! microblogs are working for me as well. thanks, ping folks. (and thanks for the alert that they're working now, mike.)
-
Inappropriate?Like I said, *full* blogs still are's working (or weren't when I tested yesterday), and that's my primary use for pfm!
I’m sad

Inappropriate?"Full blog" posting now works. Don't know when that changed, but it's good to know. I'll mark this ticket as resolved as soon as I can find the button...
