Topic: Arrrggh!
I used to love Tripod! Until about 2 months ago...... until they decided to change almost everything about their system. I had no problems with it and the few people I know that use Tripod didn't either. Why fix something that isn't broken?
The changes begin I would say in May or June. For a month I was unable to see comments that had been posted at my blog. Whenever the blog felt it was time for them to appear, they would and I would have three or four comments that I had never seen - sometimes from days earlier. My Mother, who uses a Mac, can't even post a comment at her own blog, or any other Tripod site for that matter. Mac's don't seem to be compatable with their new pop-up commenting system! One of my aunts, has a regular PC and she can't post comments either. The Tripod commenting system uses a "pop up" window and I think it has something to do with that. The only logical thing I can think of explaining this, is perhaps if you have pop-ups blocked then you can't see the pop-up window???? I don't know - but it's frustrating as all hell.
I also am unable to submit a link. I used to be able to post a link and name it and the post would show a hyperlink, named as I wanted it named. Now it just shows up like a regular link - showing the website address lit up - as if you were sending a link via email.
To top it all off, I've lost two posts this week. The first was on Wednesday and was about Sami's poison ivy. I hit submit and the post disappeared. I thought it was lost and was a little frustrated, but it wasn't a long post, so I included it in my 13 Thursday the next day. But..... today I was peeking over this past weeks posts and I found it. It was between Sunday's & Monday's posts. Don't ask me how it got there, because I couldn't tell you! (I am going to edit the date so that post shows up today - as I don't think anyone saw it!) The other lost post was long and more than frustrating!
So - I'm changing sites over the next few weeks and need your advice:
What Blog Site would you suggest and why?
