I think you have to be careful when clicking on the time stamp, OM. That takes you to the latest post. But what if there have been 3-4 other posts just before that? You then have to scroll up to ensure you're looking at the last post.

For me, it appears to be a two click process to get to the first new post I haven't seen. Click the thread title, then click jump to new posts.

That’s why I mentioned looking for the blue box that said “new”.
It does look like the-

two click process to get to the first new post I haven't seen Is a more efficient process.

Click the thread title, then click jump to new posts.

XF keeps track of the latest post that you, personally, have viewed. When you click on the thread title (Not the timestamp), it will take you to the first unread post in the thread.

Thanks Kevin,
Some of what I’m seeing is picking up posts in the span between the test forum and it’s final integration- which is on my end.
Things are looking great.

For me one click takes me to the first unread post in the thread.

Edit: This morning it does not take me to the first unread message. Like you, I now have to also click on Jump To New.

I’m getting the impression that the software may have to catch up with the activity. There were new posts in the “show a picture of you K-Bike and CamHead threads and a click brought me to the first page. As the forum does a refresh, it may catch up.

Makes sense.

For photos I find storing all of mine on SmugMug makes for ultra simple posting anywhere and I can find pics in my galleries. Great photo site I have been happily using for over 15 years with over 20K photos stored. If you're looking to join there is a coupon code in my signature line.

This is going to be nice. I was able to Copy and Paste this picture from my computer.

It makes sharing photos about a million times easier, doesn't it?

FWIW, just tried copying a picture from iPhone and iPad - 2.4mb and got the “too big”message.

There is no need to resize photos before posting them. The software will automatically resize photos that are too large.

Looks like my attempts with 2.4 didn’t work Kevin.

This is a great feature.
This forum and ADV are the only forums I use that allow Copy and Paste for pictures.

Right off the computer in copy/paste, NICE!!!!!!!!!!!

A perfect example of why the old software was so out of date.

I've successfully used Flickr on multiple forums. I like to strip everything outside of the image tags.

Test, test..

photo test, really enjoying the forum change.

Automatically going to the first unread post in a thread is working for me today.

I tried to "copy-n-paste" a 4.5mb image from my computer...it had a "problem". I then did the Attach files approach with same picture...it uploaded no problem. I suspect that the attaching approach runs the image through a down-sizer while the image copy doesn't do that.

Kinda my thinking, as well. It didn't appear to be able to downsize a cut and paste, which is a drag. But it's still way better than vB, IMHO.
