Bloglines bug
I finally chased down a bug in Bloglines that was, well, bugging me. Thought I’d share.
The “Keep New” checkbox interacts badly with the “Updated Items” setting (part of what you get if you click the “Edit Subscription” link on a feed you’re subscribed to). If you’ve got “Updated Items” set to “Ignore” (as I do on most blogs), anything that you check as “Keep New” disappears into limbo, never to appear in your right pane again.
Bloglines happily tells you that you’ve got an unread post in that feed—but neither clicking on the category nor clicking on the feed itself brings the post back. Nothing does. Well, except changing the “Updated Items” setting for that blog to “Display.”
I’ve submitted this to their email system as a bug, but the last time I tweaked them about it, nothing happened. (Admittedly, I hadn’t sussed out exactly what was going on.) If anybody closer to them than I am can insert bees into the appropriate bonnets, I’d appreciate it.
