    Hi,
    My latest post in BlogSpot always freezes the client when trying to publish. After cutting out 99% of the text I could post it (only title and a handfull of words though) but I couldn't determine anything which is really causing it to fail. Any idea how I can get it to post? I already replaced most of the pictures with flickr (so that it doesn't need to upload anything), cut out various parts but it doesn't seem to work. Editing and posting older posts works reliably and until now I never had problems.

    Any idea of what I can do?

    Do you use any proxy/firewall/antivirus software?

    That was the first thing I tried. That said, considering that I can still edit and publish old posts and other new posts (to the same blog of course) it can hardly be a computer problem. It appears to be something about this post - my guess would be some encoding, invalid character, bad HTML, .... but it is kinda hard to find without anything to start from and no obvious errors.

    Any other idea? E.g. is there some log file so that I can at least see what it is trying to do ? It seems like it freezes even before trying to connect to the internet (I started up a firewall and that one doesn't pop up the usual warning). At the moment I feel really stupid, because I used BJ for the trial period without any problems, but as soon as I buy it, it stops working...

    Just found the reason. Seems like the spell check reacts incredibly bad when a post is written in a different encoding than the windows default for non unicode ones. It just crashed on doing the check (even before showing any window) as I have used the option to check every time before I post. Lucky! Now with the right setting, the spelling check works and I can post fine. The odd thing is that I could do this beforehand ... not sure why it did not work for this post...

    Thanks for discovering the issue and solution! I'm not sure why it works bad, but I'll check it. The thing is, BlogJet is not Unicode internally (due to the programming environment and libraries), and relies on Windows locale for conversion.
