New Site Changeover: Going Again Friday, Sept. 6

[mikethompson]

I thought I was the only one getting those 504 messages, whew!

Had to resize the picture in my library before I could load it here.

 

[mau1]

Hmmm...didn't work. May have to go one size smaller. Or it could be a traffic issue; waited a long time while the system churned.

 

[alaskanpiper]

It's here!

I don't care for the color combo. It is too light with not enough contrast. It is hard to see if you are blind like me. I am going to test the pic function.

Agree with the light color combo being difficult on old eyes!

 

[mau1]

Hmm, ya, it wasn't there a couple of minutes ago. Oh well, in the future I will ensure the picture size is smaller. Liking the site though!!

No more photo albums? All those pics just gone?

Tried to bring in a pic that is 4.0MB that was taken by my camera. Too large to import.

Yeah, that happens with direct uploads like we see in the new system. Just email the picture to yourself and choose "small" on the email resolution. Then resave it and upload.

Or use a separate app like Adobe Lightroom or various other apps that can resize. I personally use Lightroom and it exports small images directly to my pictures for uploading. Easy.

Hi Neal, yes, that's exactly what I did. I'm not app-friendly so I will have to see about sizing my pictures through my camera hopefully.
I looked around and couldn't see a picture album on this site. Does anyone know if there is one or if we will have one ? Thanks.

Sweet Peterson!

Not just bad, but spectacularly bad. Tangerine Chaos. No cohesiveness, and "explained" with jumbled Cute Little Pictures. Um... language was invented because communicating with pictures was too cumbersome.

But the world is the Smartphone SwipeGod's bitch, anymore, apparently.

And every space bar or enter key hit causes a screen jump/reset. It's like trying to read a paperback while riding in a truck lurching its way down a potholed road.

Sorry, not for me.

Sweet Peterson!

haha, thanks. Just testing out the photo feature getting used to everything. Does anyone know where our albums went?

I dont' know about all that, but our Avatars sure got tiny! And I can't find my photo album...

+1 on the text color choice being difficult to read.
I'm having a real hard time with the orange font.
If possible, could something be done to make it easier for us old and somewhat blind folk to read all the content?
Thanks for all your hard work. Otherwise, the new format seems to be a success.

Is there a way to see the members' details without having to click on that downwards arrow? At least the post count and join date would be nice.

Larger avatars would be neat too, I can barely see the cob on the bear.

Is it possible to delete old PM's in "sent" folder?

You should be able to delete them manually yourself. No?

 

[admin]

Seems to me a lot of the text below the titles in the Main category (Capitalization please!!!) should be edited to take up less space.

No quote function? Anyway, back to my point, to get past Main Category, one needs to scroll halfway down the page. Only making a suggestion.

You can collapse that part if you want.

You can quote easily by just hitting the "Reply" in the bottom right of the post you want to quote.

 

[admin]

Is there way to click on a thread, and go to the the first unread post in that thread?

It's on my list to check into, Jim.

Only ones I received. PM's I sent had to be deleted by receiver. Looks like it didn't change
