More forum changes?

[Cleoriff]

The forum went down for maintenance tonight...just for a short while. When back on I noticed these changes in the message reply box (the top layout)

Is everyone seeing the same? When you click on the add photo box...it is all completely different as well?

Tbh, the new style of media upload means not using mobile to do reviews anymore

[Cleoriff]

No but @Anonymous and myself have been trying various options out in the PM box to get links to paste as normal.

Everything works fine in the top URL box. It's the 'text to display' box that is causing the problems (ONLY when you use it in the PM function)

* The URL section will take the full link. The text to display box wont ...and you have to type in something shorter (for instance Here or Camera etc etc.)

I also find External links will paste in both boxes.....Forum topic links wont.....Something for the techy guys to ponder over.....

Incidentally Gerry uses IE and I use FF. He had far more success than I did initially.....

Very helpful Cleo, thanks for this. Do post any other observations or issues you see.

Personally @Toby if the guys who post brilliant reviews are unable to upload pictures when doing these on their mobile this will have a seriously damaging effect on future reviews (honest opinion)

On a mobile you cannot now post photos or videos

Ok on this tablet but even on a Note 4 in Landscape it is impossible

Hi guys,

We're working on this. Can anyone let me know how they're getting on this morning please?

[viridis]

It's making your posts double?

[Cleoriff]

Well the image box is definitely back to how it was.....(Good job)

I will try the PM function now @Toby

Inserting pictures seem to be back to how they were previously.

Thanks Cleo
