When posting pictures with postimage, you have to select "Direct link" to post under the picture icon using the link icon.

There is no way to delete messages from your inbox so you are apparently required to remain over the limit forever. It is, however, possible to delete all of the ones in your trash folder.

When posting images from Imgur, the old "BB Code" still works here, so img, /img tags are A-OK.

Also, the icon poorly circled below gives you "classic" quote/tag mode.

Also, also, you have to un-click preview to get back to where you can edit your post again.

*all of the above are on a PC in Firefox. Unknown otherwise.

Is there still a ignore feature? I only used it once, for about a day, but it may come in handy again in the future

Good idea!

...on PC this feature is accessed by hovering over a user's avatar or clicking it in their profile.

Ok cool, on phone you just click their name and it comes up. We’ll figure it out, my only real complaint so far is posts per page. Everything else I feel like I’ll adapt to

Tap the username of the person you want to ignore/ follow. Menu pops up.

"Send PM" is now "start conversation" in that same menu.

Sadly, that looks like it might be hard-coded into the software and cannot be user changed. Just doing some random sniffing around, that seems to be the single biggest complaint about this software. It appears there is an add-on that management may be able to add for that, but, I ain't management.

FWIW, I never moved off of the defaults before so this is all old hat to me. On desktop, with my previous default settings as my guiding light, this is basically 90% the same. This upgrade is also the reason I seldom will ever customize any software. I don't want to re-customize when the next update comes along.

Where do you find your watched threads?

I "figured out" that I like the old one better.

"Send PM" us now "start conversation" in that same menu.

Have you successfully sent one? I just got the Oops error message.

WHERE are all of my messages that were in my boxes as of yesterday?
NEVER MIND, I found them.

Just tried to send ya one and I got the same error. I'm assuming you didn't get it.

All of my stuff appears to be gone also.

When you click/tap on your avatar at the top of the page a menu pops up.

News feed is people you follow.

Your content will show your latest posts.

What you used to be "subscribed" to you now "watch". Click/tap "Watched" in the banner at the top of the page.

No I have not.
