I see some posts for people who don't like it but I sure do.
  • The carousel is much nicer now - seems to have much higher resolution pictures
  • Adding pictures is very easy
  • Now that I learned how to check for new posts and understand the notifications - I like the new format better
The one downside is I miss the huge array of emoticons we had but, what I like even more is I can now add gif's...like this one:

To add a gif,
  1. hit return a couple of times to add a little space below where you are typing on SMF
  2. find a gif - right click on the gif - then click copy image
  3. then come back to this thread and right click on the blank space and click on paste
That's all there is too it.

I’m looking at posts on my iPhone and the site looks great from this vantage point. I like it! Keep up the good work!


The mobile version is way better then before

I like it too so far. I was expecting a drastic change in appearance but it doesn't look as different as I'd expected. The functions seem to have improved.

I'm liking it too. The mobile site is way better, which is where I spend 90% of my time on this site. Notifications are hit and miss to non-existent. :confused:
 
Still getting used to it, but I'm like-in-it the more I use it.

Hey DS, try this... The way I was able to post pics was to go down & click the "upload file" icon on the bottom right of where your typing. Another small screen will pull up, click on "choose file". That will load the file to the post, but then you have to select where you want the pic & choose thumbnail size or full size. Hope I explained that ok & it makes sense. Hope this works ok for you.
 
Some of my images are pretty big straight from the camera. I usually open one in Paint, resize it to 50% or 33% and it's much smaller, but still big enough to view well. then I Save As to a new file name in that same directory.

I resize pics that way before attaching to an email, too.

This is 1280x960 pixels, 484Kb on disc

This is where I get,, I upload the file and and says it is too big,,, will not give me the option to choose thumbnail size or full size??? Doing this from work so I don't want to save pics to a file??

DS, how do you take pics? Your phone or a camera? I noticed there is a file size limit of 4.9 MB & a pixel max of 1,500 on height & width!
