Ah. So you can still directly post the BB  code in from Flickr, but when you do a preview it looks like it doesn't work. But when you post it, it does work.

For my post above, the bikes hanging on the wall just looked like code in the preview, while the Bing image was displayed correctly. But they both appear to post correctly when you hit submit.

Can't see an 'edit post' button.

EDIT - Found it. But it doesn't last very long. Not there on an 8 minute old post..

That other thread about copying and pasting images instead of using the URL is good news!

I do like the new img button though which gives you the option of resizing your pic. Very useful.

So if you just copy image, then past that, you get

but if you use the resizy box thing you can do

Chocorange

that. Nice.

Oh, just had the thought, when you copy and paste the img you can also drag it to the size you want without using the img buttons. So I edited and did that.

ps. if anyone is wondering - it has to be an image off a webpage and not a pic direct off your pooter/fone/tablit

[i]same size on my phone[/i]

Hmm. Doesn't seem all that phone compatible does it. I'm sure there are some features better on the phone somewhere in here.

So how do you follow a conversation that you've posted to?  I can see threads I've started, and my posts, but not go to those posts.

(which of course means If i kill this thread as thorughly as I do most I'll never see the answer to this question.  ho hum).

Ah you mean the 'has anyone chomped down on my troll bait yet' and the 'quick link back to the viscious exchange with forum big hitters' features. Yes i miss those as well.

Well that seemed to work in Chrome on an Android phone.

Got all the buttons too.

So what does the narrow box with the p in it below the text box do?

Posting anything seems to take ages as well, and I don't know if pressing the submit button has done anything either as it doesn't change and I don't have a refresh/reload icon anywhere.

Yes you can! Instructions are available in my earlier post on this thread: [url] http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/new-forum-an-idiots-guide/page/3/#post-9804547 [/url]

I still don't know how to post videos with the button-less interface though. Does anyone know the BBcode tags for that?

No BB codes needed for vids. Just paste the text of the video URL -

There is a while routine to get quote to work. Just remembered it ! 🙂

Can't quote user name though... That totally screws it. 🙁

Not sure. The should have been a normal size emoji.

And so should that. I copied and pasted it from some normal size text and it appeared small in the edit window.

Weird!

I scrolled through 3 pages of posts yesterday to see if anyone had answered this and couldn't find the thread.  It happened to have come back to the top just now.  That's kind of fundamental to having any sort of useful discussion on here.

@simons_nicolai-uk completely agree.

The old forum screen showing posts I had replied to was pretty much my main page for interacting with the forum.

The new "Replies Created" one seems to show all your replies, with their full content, but no way to get to the actual thread that they were replies to!
