Has there been a problem with the forum?

Anyone else not receiving thread reply notifications for watched threads?

Image upload test...

Looks good to me.

Some of it is platform dependent. Your picture looks good on both my computer and phone, but I have others that are stretched or squished wierd ways depending on where I look at them.

For a Ford that looks really good.

Yup

I'm having trouble inserting a hyperlink in a post from an iPhone. The pop-up box that comes up when you hit the hyperlink button isn't on the screen, but the screen darkens in the background. Looks like maybe it's off the display somewhere?

Working on these bugs, everybody! Thanks.

I'm getting the same issue this morning on PC running Chrome for the browser. I thought it was a pop-up blocker issue but maybe not...

For some strange reason, it's blocked in Russia. I found that out a couple years ago when on a business trip.

Not complaints, just thought you'd want to have info...

Picture uploads for me are still not in the right ratio - squished mostly

Insert link freezes (as has been mentioned) but I can get used to just pasting the link in the text.

And I have no idea if this is related or not (could be a gmail thing), I've received three PMs since the change and all three went to spam.  I wouldn't have noticed except I was looking in my spam folder for a delayed email and noticed them.  Hoopes sent me a message 8 days ago about a sensitive thing and I totally missed it.  (sorry, John)  PMs have always shown up as potential phishing, but now they go directly to spam.

Again... no complaints, you folks are doing awesome things, just observations.

If it helps, Edge and Chrome on win10 PC, Chrome on Android.

Clicking the "add a link button" just freezes the page.

They need to remove that, it's not needed anymore.  If you paste a url in it will automatically convert it to a link.

Linking pics is sometimes handy, the link button is good for that.

Uploading photos seems to be hit and miss. The first time I did I got a huge amount of text rather than the pic

I loaded  an image to the photo thread from my iPhone last night, still compressed.

A lot of that is down to window width. I saw a lot of stuff fine on my computer until I narrowed the window significantly and then they went pinchy. But images in consecutive posts may or may not scale correctly and sometimes even within a single post some will and some won't.

I'm having a problem where I cannot post whatsoever on mobile (iOS, Safari) because there is no message text box, and cannot create new topics on Desktop (Win 10, Chrome) because I get an error every time I try.

Did you try emptying your cache? So far that's fixed every bug reported. 

We haven't been able to find any bugs related to photo aspect ratio. The issues caused seem to be related to the uploader's browser cache. If you're uploading photos, please clear your cache. 

In reply to Tom Suddard :

Cache clear fixed the mobile issue but I'm still unable to create threads on desktop (at least in Off Topic where I am currently trying to).

Turns out I'm also getting the "Something went wrong" when trying to create topics on mobile. Did I catch a topic creation ban or something?

I'm only able to get clickable links to work when I'm editing a post, when posting the first time it isn't clickable 

Another one here getting the "Something went wrong" trying to add a topic in Grassroots Motorsports, from Firefox on Windows. Tried resubmitting, refreshing first... no dice.

I am still getting stretched photos but it is not all the time. 
 

examples. 
 

and while uploading the screen shots I get this mess

note that the OK button is gone hidden behind the iphone menu. I can pull it up to see it but I can not press ok while I am panning it

this is on an iPhone 

The other thing is the forum is hanging up when I post. Not all the time I would say one in four posts it hangs up and I have to back out with the browsers back command or if it hard locks I have to close put all the way and start over. My post is usually there when I come back. 

I couldn't post in any threads for the past few days since the changes began. Could navigate & read threads fine and give thumbs up. I sent a message using the "contact us" link in the footer explaining the issue but didn't receive a reply. All of a sudden today I can post again. Perhaps there should be an email address in this thread for folks who get punted or can't post for whatever reason. Don't want to lose customers, so to speak.

I'm on a desktop with windows 10 using Firefox. I normally stay logged in but did try logging in and out with no luck. Now like magic I can post again.
