Profile Problem Solved ... Who's to Blame?
by grumpus @ Tuesday, Jan. 08, 2008 - 15:22:14

I spent about 2 hours this morning trying unsuccessfully to change my profile on Blog.co.uk. I wanted to bring it up to date for 2008. Having torn out what remains of my hair whilst being taken round in circles by BLUK's Edit Profile links, I was ready to lash out.

First I went on the Help blog and the Bugs blog to see if anyone else was having similar problems. There were many complaints about bloggers unable to change their profile photos, but most seemed to originate from some time ago. I considered sending a private post to all my friends seeking help. I toyed with the idea of lambasting Blog.co.uk as having become too slow and cumbersome, and riddled with problems. I even thought of retiring from the blogscene altogether or at least starting afresh with the competition!

Then in desperation I closed my normal AOL browser and opened Mozilla Firefox to try one final time. Blog.co.uk opened immediately. The Edit Profile link worked like a dream! And calm descended once more in the Grumpus household!!

Right! Now whose fault was it that I couldn't edit my profile?? Was it Blog.co.uk? Was it AOL?? Was it MINE!!??
Calm down!! Repeat after me ... computers are wonderful ... computers are wonderful ...

Know how you feel after trying to sort out my Hotmail in Mozilla Firefox browser...after three emails telling Hotmail what I thought of its invasive anti-spam code that wouldn't accept a single entry in Mozilla but every time in Internet Explorer, thought it was a conspiracy to force us to use IE, but got an answer straight away asking me all about the prob, and checked first before answering any and it has disappeared...glad you've sorted yours...pain in the neck these comps sometimes but couldn't survive I don't think without it now...

computers are temperamental and they catch us when they know our resistance is low.
they're clever like that.

Alternatively try repeating the following within earshot of your computer: - I love fountain pens; I love fountain pens;....:)

I've been able to switch my profile pic but I couldn't tell you how! Good luck.

Judging by the time span between your posts it is certainly a long time between drinks in your part of the world - see what golf eventually does to you. LOL.

Thanks Skip, I haven't posted since January, but by a strange coincidence I have just joined the Askoranswer Group and made my first comment. I will try to do better in future. (Slaps wrist!)

My advice....Don't fiddle with the blog design these days,it can be dangerous and frustrating.
I think they are developing it,and is buggy at the moment.
