• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

for that last 4 years I have not ever had any trouble uploading photos until someone decided to make it "better" guess I'm done posting photos.
 
On the Quick Reply click Go Advanced to get to Manage Attachments just like you did on the "Old " system. Worked for me.
 
There is no difference in the “upgrade” it’s exactly the same as it was, next time don’t be afraid to say AnthonyG instead of someone.

Quick Reply has always been disabled on this site, I enabled it so you could reply to a post, instead of having to click a button. If you like the old posting interface, click on go advanced as JayBros stated.

If you want to add a image to a post via the quick reply box, simply click the picture button next to the film strip that’s to the right of the smilie icon.

Seems to work for me ( Chrome ) , Yes that is a bear, Yes that is our front porch.

Safari from my iPad. Can?t see a difference, except for the newer way of showing older posts.

Thats because there are none other than the fact that i enabled quick reply, which Lamont always had disabled, no idea why.

Clicking "Post Reply, is the same thing as clicking "Go Advanced", quick reply just gives you the benifit of posting without clicking a button & going to another page.
 
No image settings changed for the upgrade, vb doesnt alter anything forum related to settings.

The only things that limit size of an image is what Lamont ha always had set, one bing dimensions 800x600 & the actual size of the file itself, which is about 100k for a jpeg.
 
Hi easysuper,

Re: I hate upgrades

I cannot say that I hate them. However, as posted elsewhere, these recent changes make me do things differently than before. And, it did take some additional changes to the site and some new techniques for me to learn.

As for photos, I have always and only uploaded them from my computer; never from any other device.

PS) Now, let's see if I can upload a photo: Voila, there it is; same as always.

Tried to start a new thread and still cant post a photo, worked fine for the last 4 years , nothing now

I hate working in customer service.

If you really want to help get this fixed, you are going to have to supply more details than just "it doesn't work".

For starters, did you try what Anthony suggested ??
