Dear Vox,
If you are having problems, doing updates, launching a new release, etc., etc.,
how about letting us peons know that we might have trouble posting stuff to our page, instead of making us waste more time on here than we already do?
Signed,

I haven't had problems till today, (I mean recently) but what usually would have taken me maaaaaaaybe a half hour (more like 15 minutes, but one issue COULD have been on my end) has taken me over an hour.
I understand if they don't do their releases or maintenance on a regular schedule, but how about posting something somewhere or sending out an email a few hours in advance about how they will be messing with things and we may have difficulty uploading things etc., and we're SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.
Then they put out a new release all proudly and we are supposed to be so happy about it. I'll be happy about it when I feel like attempting to post anything again, maybe.
It's like if in the middle of the night your parents rearranged your bedroom, and you have to get up to pee and you stumble over everything and piss your pants and sprain your ankle and then in the morning they're like LOOK! We bought you Lucky Charms!
Usually, we do releases without announcing in advance because we can roll them without any disruption. We did one yesterday, however, that caused high database load, so we rolled it back. We still didn't announce anything then, because the goal was to get it out of there as quickly as possible. After it was off, everything should have been normal again.
And hey Pants Party, at least for me the issue is when I hit post the site kinda sits for a while and does nothing. But I can't hit it again because I don't want to double post. So I copy, compose again, paste, etc.
Also the "add to neighborhood" has been really sketchy since last night... some strange error message keeps popping up. I haven't tried it today but that was probably due to that release you're talking about. Not to whine too much but the site has seemed markedly slower in the past two weeks, at least for me.
I was thinking the same think as my computer was booting:
"Have they fixed the moblogging problem yet? Have they fixed the vid/pic posting problem yet? They were down for a bit yesterday, clearly they did another update. Did our account settings all go back to defaults? If so, did they restore them yet or do we need to do it? And... WHERE'S THE TEAM VOX POST SAYING 'WE KNOW IT'S F-ED UP, HERE'S WHAT'S GOING ON'??
Thanks again everyone!
a BIG FAT NOPE.
I was typing directly onto a compose page and adding pics ALREADY in my library.
Also when I tried to link links, the links were on the wrong items, even though that wasn't what I linked them to. It was like Vox just decided to put the link on whatever it felt like.
