 Hi, I'm going nuts, WordPress' most badly designed feature: The Ever-
 Damned Library.. Once again I'm getting the dreaded issue of the "Grid
 Media Library Won't Load".

 OK NOW TO THE ACTUAL ISSUE.. I got so pissed off I reinstalled the site
 (losing hours and hours of work that I'll have to rebuild it all) I'm
 working on from scratch (I mean from SCRATCH, new database,I really mean
 from scratch.. AND WHAT ?!!! I already get the gallery in grid mode
 spinning forever and showing NOTHING... So it cannot be said it is due to
 plugins or a theme, corrupt database and all that blah blah I read all
 over forums year after year when (loads of) people face this recurring
 situation..

 SO NOW WHAT ??
 How much more can one do than reinstall a whole install from scratch ?!?
 Yes this is really upsetting because after a few years of using WP I still
 don't trust it and am always worried I'll run into issues that are Media
 Library-related for the most part.. over and over again.

 PS: I'm sure at the top of the WP food chain they know the Media Library
 is their Achilles heel. feels like it should be redesigned from scratch as
 well...  The Media library has given me (and many people, reading all the
 entries related to it over time) so much heartache over the years,
 incarnation after update, after upgrade.. can this Jurassic Park thing be
 redesigned to work and adapt to true web design some day ? So that it
 actually works and  without this totally outdated and very limiting "by
 date" classification" (no wonder so many people see WordPress as "just a
 blogging platform".
