What's new

Site upgrade.

One thing that got me, but I was able to figure how I was going to post on a different thread with a copy with a picture and wanted to add another one beside it. The old system allowed you zoom size add a space and then download another picture to paste the added photo beside it.
With the upgrade you have to make sure the added photo is downloaded in picture query column before trying to crop size because it just keeps popping out picture in a different window. I do not know if people will figure it out to sort of make collage effect?
A new learning curve!

There are a lot of new things for all of us to learn and take advantage of!

I feel like this needs a tutorial

I ran into some trouble posting working links using the 'chain link' icon. I could still insert a URL and highlighted 'text', but the link itself didn't work. Clicking it bright me to this instead:

Here is a test link to the problem post, and an in-text link if the above doesn't work as well: Post in thread 'Good soap lather in a hard water area?' Good soap lather in a hard water area? - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/good-soap-lather-in-a-hard-water-area.614325/post-11465254

Edit: I think I just illustrated the same problem here too. It's getting meta.

Your links contain a whole string of bogus characters before the URL address begins.
Your "test link to the problem post" link actually is directing you to:

http://post%20in%20thread%20%27good%20soap%20lather%20in%20a%20hard%20water%20area/?%27%20https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/good-soap-lather-in-a-hard-water-area.614325/post-11465254

That won't work. everything before https:// needs to be removed so it looks like

zzhttps://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/good-soap-lather-in-a-hard-water-area.614325/post-11465254zz
without the zz before and after

Where did you copy the link URL from?

I fixed your links for you in the problem post you mentioned

I clicked the icon at the upper right corner of the post's window (as shown), then clicked 'Copy' (circled in second pic). This was how I grabbed URLs in the past, before the upgrade, and it used to work.

Hmm, so copying links that way from a phone somehow seems to pull extra text along with the URL now. Is there a way to prevent that?

We'll check it. Both links went to the same post
Test of the link using the drop down option on my phone instead of the link button in the thread itself

Some one should try putting a picture side by side like a collage with a simple space in between, the old system was superior in this simple task.

Not too hard considering I used my phone, and I have fat fumbly fingers which makes resizing a couple of tries.
To be fair, I never did this before, I always post pics inline.
I don't like thumbnails, and side by side makes full size images look like thumbnails.

I tried it on my laptop and it keeps pulling the picture out to a new window which is almost impossible to alter & frustrating.
 
I have no issues with loading photos, however I am unable to access the "Forums" link. I can access "What's New", but the link to Forums no longer functions correctly. It takes me to the B&B Home page. Is there quick a fix for this?

You're the second person to report this. Are you on an iPad?
In any case, clearing cookies and cache and rebooting solved the problem.
The device was calling up old stored data.
