Hey Guys, How Am I Supposed To Know Which Story To Fix? Update 2. [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-05-25
So this morning I check my email, NOT my KosMail, and I find two messages from DK.
Both say that one of my stories has had an image removed by the owner and they’ve replaced it, so I should fix this. Neither one gives the name or date of the story in question. Only give links. I assumed the messages referred to the lede images, but — see update 1 — I think I was wrong about that.
When I clicked on the links to the story identifiers, I got “Access Denied” or equivalent. Came here, logged in, and found that the same problem persisted. Links are dead. Are my stories down? I cannot tell.
Yo, guys, the links that have failed are 2318476 and 2318527.
Just for funsies, both of these alerts were posted to me at 4:17 A.M. my time. I found them about ten minutes ago, which would be 11:54 A.M. my time.
Y’know, a KosMail would have been helpful here. Just sayin’. Definitely did not get one, let alone two.
Now, I have gone to my diary list, and am working my way through all the published stories. So far I have not found the diaries in question.
I have put this out to confirm my good faith efforts to comply with what I presume are requests to modify two diaries for which I cannot use the links provided and have no other identifying information. Still trying to find those diaries. Worst case, I unpublish all of them.
Just for fun, I should note that I got another one of these messages in March, but didn’t see it for awhile. I simply unpublished the diary in questionm but at least I was given sufficient information to find it!
Since I have published, to date, 101 diaries, it looks as though, since the links don’t work, it could take me awhile to find the ones in question.
PS, I guess I will just stop using any lede pics from here on out.
PSS, assuming I can still even publish this.
