Is when you inadvertently delete EVERY SINGLE IMAGE that has ever been posted to any of your blogs. Ugh! I was a late-starter to the Google+ world, having insufficient time as is for every other social media network website out there. Well, there I was, navigating around, viewing images and, What's this? A massive amount of seemingly-random, some repeated, images that appear familiar as from my blog. Realizing my Google+ account and Blogger must somehow be intertwined yet knowing as well I would never need these images for Google+, I deleted the album.
I don't recall any warning dialogue boxes popping up at the time. That was a few weeks ago. Today, after much time away, I returned to do some re-working on my blog and what did I find? Post after post filled with nothing but gray buttons in place of my pictures. Dreadful! I thought maybe it was just the most recent ones, but no! Every single one!
It's a good thing I don't make a living off of this or I would be much more upset. I cannot believe the Google+ developers would allow such a devastating action to occur at our (often ignorant) fingertips. I don't know what an alternative solution would be, but MANY of us do NOT know and/or realize the consequences of deleting this album. If anything, a restoration should be possible to retrieve the images afterwards. Or an option to delete the images from Google+ only, yet leave them alone on the other websites.
Ok - I'm done crying about it. Time to move on. Have a blessed day!
