So discouraged...

I just spent a good portion of the morning writing captions for the next Tomato legacy update (which I've been sitting on half-finished for ages, lacking all ability to write anything even remotely resembling clever captions), only to have most of the update vanish after I hit "save entry." I was working in the post window, but I'd been working in that all along, saving as I went. I was all fine until I finished the whole thing. Then I saved and only the first five images or so and their captions were still there.

I am so disappointed in livejournal right now.

Dreamwidth's online editor is much worst than LJ's. It doesn't have half of the features that LJ have and is useless to complain or request because their answer is that "they have the same resources", which is not true at all. You can't even add tags in that editor if you don't have a list of your tags saved in a notepad file! That's why I use Dreamwidth only to post my sims creations and use LJ to post my stories (I have a comm here just to my stories).

I guess I could number the images in a folder and preview them in windows picture viewer as I go

I number my pictures in the order that they should be uploaded and appear in the story, upload them to photobucket and then, while I write in semagic, I see the previews in photobucket or in windows preview pics and add my pics copying the links from photobucket.

I stopped to upload my images to LJ in the moment that LJ deleted some of them without any reason (I didn't even had so many images uploaded!) I tried to use another image server but photobucket is so practical that I'm using again.
