ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Thanks again, this is getting very confusing. I might need to sleep on it. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I can see two in your post of around an hour ago. It shows 2 photos of Jamaica. One is a Starboard aerial view and the other a stern view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Gidday Sailorman, and thanks. About 5 hours ago I tried my first photo by simply copy and paste from my computer. I thought that worked because I could see the photo but Hangarman could not. Then an hour ago I tried again using the 'choose files' below. It showed the starboard side of the ship, on a slip-style display base and with a label. And then to try to fit a couple of photos in amongst text I did the two, but they appear at the bottom of the post, the two photos that you can see. I'll try another. (WL410) This should be of HMS Welshman, and I uploaded it before typing this current line of text, although the photo appears (as I type) in the bottom left corner of the window. Let's see what happens when I hit 'submit'. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Bottom of the post again, if it's visible to others. Oh well . . . Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kavanagh Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Well, this is all shiny and new. There’s still plastic wrapping on the seats and everything! Sad to see the old sub-forums have disappeared and everything is munged together into a single place. That’s going to be interesting. I assume, from all the photos being tested, there’s no longer an approval process? The mods will have to be on their toes to catch miscreants. Let’s play with an upload… this is my Airfix Whitley that I dedid the markings for late last year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Gidday Heather, I think we've met elsewhere. You probably know me as ArnoldAmbrose. Yes your photo above is visible to me. And regarding all topics mixed together I first thought as you did, all munged (is that a word?) together. But if you want to only see a particular category I think you can 'disable' the other categories and those posts will become invisible to you. For example disable all but the aircraft. Afterwards you can enable them again and they reappear. I think this new system has potential but I guess a little fine-tuning (or education) on our part is needed.

Heather Kavanagh Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Hello there! Like you, I’m familiar with the general layout of Invision forums, but this one will take a little while to settle into my head. The navigation seems to vary depending on how deep you are into the brand section. I’m sure we will get used to it! At least it’s a darned sight easier to make posts now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Thomas Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I’ve just posted - seemed to be instant even with a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Gidday Dominic, I can read your text but no picture in the post immediately above. But I agree, I like the instant post-with-photo now, so I can live with the photos at the bottom of the post and not in amongst the text. I'll just do one photo per post. Regards, Jeff.

Heather Kavanagh Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Ah, I think I understand. If I create a new topic, I have to choose the sub-forum it’s meant for. At present, it looks like the old database has been imported wholesale into the "general discussion" section - understandably. Eventually, the other sections will reassert themselves as new topics are posted. Have I got that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Jeff, I can see all your images - I never log out. Heather, you can filter which sub-forums you view by the tick-box list on the right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Gidday, I'm not sure yet about new threads, I haven't tried one. As you probably know (and have guessed from my posts above 🙂) my interest is in ships so I experimented by clicking off other topics, and as I did those relevant posts/threads disappeared, eventually leaving only the ship related topics. But others came back as I re-enabled the topics. It's early days, and I am definitely NOT computer/forum savvy but I think this change is a positive. Regards, Jeff.

ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Thanks Ratch, even the first photo over five hours ago? It shows the port bow and superstructure of HMS Jamaica from an elevated angle. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Thanks again. I don't know whether to be pleased or even more confused. Others don't seem to be able to see the first, and not all see the second photo. As a moderator do you see photos that others can't? Regards, Jeff.

Heather Kavanagh Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Forgive my indulgence, but a test to see if pasted URLs from a Flickr account work. Oh, they do. Nice! 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null_null981707818191 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I guess we'll get used to it, but I don't find it nearly as easy to navigate as the old version. Proof of the pudding etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 The old version was very slow, but this is confusing. We already have Railway Modellers posting here, probably because they don't realise they're in Airfix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Boy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Thought that i would get on and give it a try. Looks OK Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps123 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Sorry all, I still can't work out how to insert photos. Sailorman stated there was a paperclip underneath text. I haven't managed to find it. The only thing I have seen resembling a paperclip is the icon next to the inverted comma but pressing this refers to a URL again. A term we used in the Forces for instructions that anyone can understand was an "idiot sheet". Could anyone provide me with an "idiot sheet" so I can work out how to insert photos? Thanks in advance.

ntpntpntp Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) I found it straight away 🙂 As soon as you click on the reply box it expands and there's the paperclip 🙂 I used it to add this screenshot. Edited February 17 by ntpntpntp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul71 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 first look at the new set up looks ok a bit different, the pictures look bigger and clearer to me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My shoddy workmanship is now much more visible, my mistakes will be much easier spotted. 🙂 This new system is similar in some ways to another site I post on, although there are differences. Overall I think I prefer this new system over the old, although I wasn't a member here for long before the change. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I click on reply, I see, for a nano-second, the paperclip you refer to, but then it goes off and won't come back. Is this what should be happening or is there some way of maintaining the paperclip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
