andy1252 2,657 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Sorry, but I don't. Too much white space and the black on blue on some of the tags is very indistinct. Smacks of change for change's sake. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulk 370 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I love it too, I find it much clearer but appreciate everyone’s tastes are different. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gpickup 60 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Is it me or is the forum very slow these days? I find that it takes a very long time to load, especially if I select to see unread content. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello, it's an update to the forum software by Invision, not a revision created by Orbx. Depending on the browser you use, there are addons that reduce the glare. I use Firefox and "Dark Reader", which suits my ageing eyes. 2 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unread Content has been slow for me for many months now, I think it is somehow classified under the authorities' suspect forums for some reason and the ISP content checking algorithms have to check each time. Probably by mistake but I can't think of any other reason it would be so slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iflygary 117 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'm a FireFox user as well and I really like the new look. Everything looks really alive now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Cooper 6,919 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Quote you have to click on the link and then the image appears in a new window You should just be able to copy and paste. if the forum takes over, copy your BBCode into Notepad and then just select the middle part to paste into the forum. I only use two browsers regularly, but both of them show me "Copy image address" if I right click on the imgur image and pasting that into the forum works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imgur.com no longer works like it used to, pre-update, for putting images into Community Screenshots. TTM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Cooper 6,919 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 However, it still works, just in a different way. Personally, I don't see that as a problem, as do not those customers who use different image hosting sites and the Direct Link from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bernd1151 2,692 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Nick, many years ago we had the option to preview our screenshots before we published them, so we could see, whether they came out alright. Do you think, this can be re-established? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben McClintock 1,263 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Hi Bernd, Invision's goal with their forum software is to have the editor and the actual post 1:1. Anything you see in the editor is what will appear in the final post. For example: This is what the post looked like before I submitted it: Finally, here's a short video showing how you can upload images to imgur and have them embedded into the forum. The key part is to wait until you see "upload complete" so you can copy the image's URL. Hd6BIovE59.mp4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
