Ugh. Finally got Kinja'd

I managed to sneak my last two AlCan posts in without “proper rights” but now it looks like I’m going to have to beat my head against the wall and put attribution on every single fucking photo.

It wouldn’t be so bad if this was an easy thing to do, but it isn’t.

Amazing that they can find the time to implement

this, but can’t fix pasting an image into the post or the horrid lag between attempting to add attribution and the image loading and jerking the UI around.

EDIT: Oh good you also can’t save drafts without image rights. So I literally have to do this RIGHT NOW or trash all my edits. Terrific.

EDIT 2: Welp... I’m boned now. After figuring out YOU CAN’T LINK TO A POST WITH AN UNATTRIBUTED THUMBNAI L, I made some changes, hit the wrong button, and got the dreaded “IMAGE UPLOAD FAILED”. And now the post is dead. I have not yet figure out how to recover from this.

Edit 3: I was wrong. I had a few images that had credit but no source. They didn’t have the red outline because of this so I had to manually go through and check each photo.

Hooray.

Lets just do all our posts as comments so we won't have to add "proper rights"

It’s a pain, particularly on my aviation history posts with lots of photos.

I experienced it for the first time today. What a ball-ache.

Tried posting from my mobile, couldn’t figure why it wouldn’t post.

Did another one later from the computer and had to go through every damned picture, THAT I TOOK, and attribute it to myself.

Holy crap, can you imagine all of OPPO from this moment on being contained in one Kinja post? Ha!

Very annoying, I’m sure, but does just typing in one character of text (for each one) get you past it?

Nope. You have to select the source, the media type, and credit someone.

Christ man, can you imagine us having to attribute pictures in some of the threads we’ve talked together on. Sheesh. Lol.

Just gonna check if I need to attribute in a comment.

Kinja'd!!!

Remember before we wrote articles and just basically made comments to oppo then replied to those comments? Yeah, those were the days.

That would be a nightmare. Remember that one about police cars and having to get to railroads off-road because you don’t have roads next to your rails? That must have been 100 images in that thread.

I haven’t actually had to attribute anything yet. Here’s hoping I was granted immunity by the A lgorithm of D oom.

hol’ up, if we want to post pics we now have to add that crappy bit at the bottom of the text, just to even say that it’s my photo? rip kinja

Lol. Ye’, that was a very long thread.

I didn’t have to attribute that picture of the new Land Rover Defender Hard Top commercial vehicle.

So hopefully it’s just in the initial post that they do.

Fingers crossed.

Lol if none of the other horrid shitty “updates” Kinja has done hasn’t killed it, I don’t think this will. We’ll bitch about it for a few weeks, maybe the devs will pull the feature for like a month, and then we’ll all just get used to the shittyness.

Same shit. Different day.

I can’t even attribute commented images if I wanted to do that would basically break Kinja more than it usually is.

Herbs: those users and their user created content can go suck an egg. Let's make it take twice as long to post a single image. Mwahahahaha!

I don’t know. Ever since day one, I’ve tried very hard to credit the photos with names and links, even if it was Wikimedia. Now I have to conform to their system, and it’s a PITA.
