Can I just say 'thank you'

Post by Paul Drawmer »

I should have acknowledged this earlier.
The recent forum upgrade to include a method of importing pictures direct from the user's PC is a great step forward. I am now much more likely to post a picture!

Well done and thank you.

As an aside - I didn't realise it was there until Nordwulf popped this in a reply on another thread

There's always time for one more.

We didn’t say much about it earlier, Paul, as we did a lot of background testing in the Mods’ subforum and there were a few teething problems. It seems to be working well now, though.

Absolutely agree Paul.

I was stunned when Frank posted that.

I do have one question regarding that functionality - when I quote a post with a forum embedded picture, I don’t get the picture, just a reference to it (at least in tapatalk).
Is that normal?

We are aware of this issue and it is being investigated along with a couple of other minor bugs.

It’s one of the things we are looking at, Gary. Still quite early days with some of the stuff on this upgrade, and some of us are not too IT-savvy. I just tried quoting a post of mine in Safari and got the same result.

Helps to cut down the excessive picture quoting that makes some threads cumbersome to negotiate, but a pain if you are trying to quote a single picture in order to comment on a particular feature &c.

Sorry, Kip, beat me to it!

I must say I wasn't aware you could post a photo directly into a reply. Takes away the need for photo hosting websites it would seem, which is a great thing after the photo*ucket fiasco.
