Re: Deleting photo storage
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThis is so totally random¡ ?most times the image shoeing to b deleted is 2 further along ? After reading Shal¡¯s reply below, I did some more testing so I could give new details. ? Most times the image showing ?to be deleted is the next one along past the one I actually clicked on, but in my tests tonight, occasionally it opened the correct one, but on a couple of occasions, it open images which were 4 along !! ? If I open the photo to be deleted, after confirming the deletion, I am taken back to where all the photos are, but in the position of the deleted one there is a plain grey square, frequently showing (but not always) a lot of numbers at the bottom of the square. When I open the next one and delete it, I am taken back? to that same page, and the grey square that was there has now disappeared, but the most recent deleted shows as a new grey square. If I refresh the page after returning, the grey square disappears. ? If I right click and open in a new tab, it is the same conditions as the original tab¡ delete and opened back at the photos on the new tab, grey square where deleted¡ and of course if I then close that new tab, and am on the original page the deletion that I just did does not show as being deleted, the image itself is still there on the original page until I refresh the page, then it disappears, and no grey square appears, it is totally gone. ? I thought it may be a problem with the browser (Firefox) so I tried the process in Chrome and it has exactly the same problem. I was going to empty the cache but I don¡¯t want to have my passwords deleted (that would happen, wouldn¡¯t it?). ? It is all so frustrating¡ especially when most people hit Reply and don¡¯t delete the image, so I may have the same image to delete 10 times and each time I want to delete, I have to make sure that it isn¡¯t the original image opened by mistake. ? I hope that this can be fixed. Win ? -----Original Message----- ?

And something like that happened, the first time I tried to test the symptom. After confirming the delete I was taken back to the album page, and the URLs were updated to account for the deletion. I had made note of the URL of a particular photo beforehand so that I could see the change. ? But on my second attempt to observe this I opened a photo to be deleted in a new tab. On this trial when that tab was returned to the album page the URLs had not been updated. Nor had they been in the original tab, still showing the album. I had expected the one in the new tab to have been updated, just like the first test, but that didn't happen. ? > Arguing over which is wrong (the thumbnail or the link) is just? > semantics. ? If it looks like a bug, swims like a bug, and quacks like a bug then it probably is a bug. (My apologies to ducks everywhere). ? Specifically, I don't think the system is operating as intended in that case. It is certainly a violation of the principle of least astonishment. ? > but other requests here in GMF have asked for static [or should I say,? > "more-static"] photo album URLs for entirely different reasons. ? True. Here's an even stronger reason - it causes a malfunction by the site. ? And no, I don't classify this as just "a browser cache issue" - in my second test the site loaded a page (the album) which had incorrect links in it. Whether or not the browser is complicit in that error does not IMO make it any less a bug in terms of user experience. ? In a worst-case scenario a less attentive moderator than Win might go on to delete the wrong photo, possibly a prized one. ?
