Thread: Major Upgrade - New Features

No thumbnails from my own uploaded photos are shown

On my PC everything is in 'bold' - is it the same for everyone? Not too keen on that aspect.

Not on my PC.

I'm loving the new layout

Will take a little while to get used to / learn the new system.

The one thing that I dislike is that the sentences we type/post now spreads across the entire width of the screen, so your eyes become tired when reading as the eyes move a lot from total left to total right. Reading is often easier when the text are condensed into less wide columns, like you often read in books, or magazines or news papers, not spread acorss the entire width of the screen. Just my two cents.

No edit button?

Frederik, some people are having trouble with the insert pictures function. Please read this post and the one that is above it:

Opera on CD

Maybe you can tell us how to avoid this problem. Thanks, Alma

I actually like the wider surface. When we use pictures and graphics, it's nice to have more space.

It is on mine, too. I'm also not too thrilled that every post has a scroll bar, preventing me from scrolling normally unless I move my mouse to the edge of the page.

I have clicked on '+ Reply to Thread' Is that right?

For the WYSIWYG reply box, click on "Go Advanced". Is this what you meant?

I can agree with the space for pictures, yes.

Though for reading texts, I doubt it. When paragraphs are long, that's partly why magazines and papers don't publish materials in that format but into columns, i.e. shorter width which is easier for the eye.

great. I imagine in the days to come we'll be busy "LIKING" each other. btw, I also use to browse via samsung android, I haven't try this, I hope it still have the simplicity on previous version.

Strange, on mine, I don't see what you guys are seeing (the bold fonts). Only what we make bold is bold, or the titles of the threads that have new messages.

As for scrolling, I continue to be able to scroll just using the touchpad, and the bar on the right is just another way to do it.

Maybe it's a question of browser? I know that Annie uses Firefox. I use Internet Explorer.

On the other hand, pictures and copied and pasted text have been behaving weirdly. I guess we'll just have to learn how to use the new software and then everything will be fine.

Maybe you should decrease your magnification to 75%, maybe this will fix it for you.

Woooow... what a major change, after all these years. I hope no one is in shock. lol

Impressive.
