I just switched over to the beta, and it seems to ignore the setting
for 'Enable Post Pages'.  I do NOT want my posts on individual pages --
I have it set to 'NO', but now it publishes them all regardless.

It is a big disadvantage for Post Page not to be able to be displayed,
Why would you want to disable post page?

Independent of your comment -- if it's an 'option' to Post pages or
not, the option should work instead of just ignoring it.

I can't see what the 'big advantage's and fuss over Post pages is.
Maybe i'm just old school, but I don't care that each post has it's own
web page so it's easier for search engines, etc. and I don't care about
conditional tags, and I don't have comments enabled, and I don't use
entry titles. -- so all I end up with is several
year/month/ugly_long_post_name.html files and a whole bunch of
/nopub/############ files created that I don't want or need.  Plus the
individual post pages aren't visible (world readable) anyway because of
the way the unix file permissions are set up on my website.

I agree... I have had my blog for years... now I have all these yearly
files/ with EACH day in them... it takes up way to much room on my
domain. Is any attempt at fixing this issue being done? Or is "ignore
it" the only answer we're going to get?

tompkins.dave, could you tell us the URL of your blog?

the blog name is 'crapweasel'

and it's hosted at:

http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~davet/blog

it's still posting individual pages.

cheers :)

How is this relevant? Personally, I only use the archive pages, and
people can still get a page for every individual post. How? I have a
script keep a lookup table for every post ID, and when people request a
post, I let another script access that table, open the appropriate
archive file, and extract the post from it. Saves me a lot of disk
usage, and it doesn't introduce much overhead. Post pages are only
necessary for people whose web site consists of static content.

Regardless, my blog is also suffering from this problem, and I'd like
to see it fixed.

This is still happening for me too. How can this be so hard to fix?

And it's happening to me too.  Please fix this!

This isn't even appearing in "Known Issues".

Come on! At least acknowledge the error.

me too. ugh.

So many uncomfortable people piled up in one place! Maybe you had
better move to Wordpress or where you will.  But you won't be missed.

Any news about this issue. It would actually be nice to hear from
someone related to blogger. It seems to me that the people publishing
their webpages via-ftp on different hosts from blogspot aregetting hit
with this new blogger version. Too bad I can't go back to the old
blogger.

Still no fix. Still no listing in Known Issues or Blogger Status. This
has been going on for over a month, and meanwhile the new version has
been declared non-Beta. Is this how world-class programmers approach an
easily-identified bug, by ignoring it?
