TypePad. is obviously the blogging software that I use, as do many thousands of others. Indeed, they call themselves the 'premier blogging service'. Recently they have 'upgraded' the compose screen, and it's had a very unfortunate side effect with regards the QuickPost option. It's a quick way (duh!) of posting to the weblog, and it's the only way that I've ever used - it's fast and (used to be) effective.
Up until now. The QuickPost option is virtually useless now. Most of the functionality has gone, and the ability to add via HTML has disappeared. All I can do now is bold, italic, underline, bulletpoint and link. What this means is that when you try and QuickPost the title of the page is the opening text. Since I can't access the HTML if I try and put in something before that I have to delete the link, write what I want, and then add the link back in. I can no longer directly add in images via HTML as I used to be able to.
I posted the question and got the reply 'Yes, we know about this, we'll try and do something.' It was said in the 'oh, don't bother us, we don't care' voice. What is the point in providing me with LESS functionality? How is that supposed to help me? Why is it deemed a good idea to make it take me longer to post?
Not Happy.
