Some of you have probably noticed this already, but I want to flag it to make sure that you know that we are aware of the problem and are working to fix it.
If you try to upload a picture and don't specify a filename, it is more than likely that Blogware will lift the entire path and filename information from the upload information that you provide us and use that as the filename for your picture.
Doesn't sound like much of a problem so far until you consider that we then drop this filename into an HTML page and try to display it to your readers.
ie - path and filename C:\My Documents\My Pictures\Dad's 50th\Pic 000045.jpg
html code - img src="C:\My Documents\My Pictures\Dad's 50th\Pic 000045.jpg"
See the problem? We're telling your web browser to look on the C:\ drive for the picture in question. Chances are pretty good that it doesn't exist.
We're fixing it - word is from dev that this is pretty sticky because of the lack of predictability in path names. In Tom's own words, "The problem occurs when the path and the image both contain spaces... it becomes very difficult to determine when we should start the name and when to stop the 'path'."
Thankfully, they followed up that statement with a succinct "We'll kill it."
I bet the problem goes away before the end of day ;)
