Took me a few try's to upload an image the other night from my iPad.

I don't spend as much time here as I used to because the site doesn't work for me. There's nothing more frustrating than having some one want to see a picture of an item you're selling only to have it be impossible to post up. Again, this wasn't a problem until the latest redesign. I've been on this site for a dozen or more years. This is BS,

This kind of idiocy reminds me of PayPal. In the course of their "refresh" of the site, someone decided, on the page where you generate shipping labels, that the first State in the Union on the pulldown menu to select the state you're shipping to, would be Wyoming! Really! You go on the pulldown menu and the first State listed is Wyoming. This is part of the BS. It's busy work for people with nothing to really do. Just redesign, and redesign for the sake of it, with no real concern about how the site works.

Were you having issues with posting photos or diagrams before the redesign?

All of this nonsense just makes me think of the movie "Idiocracy." I swear, before long we'll be watering our crops with Gatorade because, you know, it has electrolytes.

No I did not. I'm not a big fan of any part of the redesign.

I have also encountered issues with uploading images under this new forum format.

One trick which I have learnt is to upload images using the icon per the blue arrow in the screen shot below. The other option per the red arrow does not work for me to upload images.

Ok, that actually worked. I'll try it again.

Clearly, ACG, you're on to something. That's the first time I've been able to post anything two times in a row. Now let's see what the geniuses who run this site have to say about your workaround. I guess I'll have to reach out to Cheryl, if she even still works here, to see if your solution makes sense and can provide insight into why we are all having issues with this site since the wonderful redesign.

I have been using the blue arrow for some time works 90% of the time effectively
