*waits to see if that works for Baz*

Baz, did you use the 'insert/edit image' icon on the top of the reply box? 'Cos I just have and got the image.
Baz posted:
looks to me as if you pasted directly into the reply box instead of using the insert icon
I haven't checked it via the tablet yet,

I tried it both ways EFFT 
Merry Christmas though

Baz, well done but it seems odd that when you use the url option you are getting bits of text before the http and after the gif when you shouldn't be.
If I post the text rather than the image with the ubb version I get:
[url=http://yoursmiles.org/g-christmas.php?page=27][img]http://yoursmiles.org/gsmile/christmas/g39264.gif[/img][/url]
With the html version I get:
<a href=http://yoursmiles.org/g-christmas.php?page=27><img src=http://yoursmiles.org/gsmile/christmas/g39264.gif></a>
but with the correct url version I get it without bits at the start and end:
http://yoursmiles.org/gsmile/christmas/g39264.gif
This is what I get with the url El ........

That smilies site is a bit confusing so I'm not surprised you had problems with it.Yay! I can stop squinting at the tablet now! 
Yay!!!!! Merry Christmas!! 
NB: This is not a response to Baz' declaration in the previous post.

Christmas will do that to a person. 
My brood just left, and I've collapsed. 
I still cannot post just simple pics i.e happy birthday - the image appears and then it says I am not allowed- do I need VIP status to do this please?
Ros the pictures you are trying to post, are they on your computer/device or from another internet site?
as well as the last post thing being dodgy the 'New' post title next to a thread is hit and miss too. .doesn't seem to remember for very long and I keep thinking oh a new post and no it isn't.. getting a bit fed up with the format now if truth be told..
On FF v43.03 Win 7
grrr and just got caught out with the double enter bloomin thing too. .
and again!!!!!!! am using the extra lines I created to say this bit 
all in all it is becoming an unpleasantly annoying experience.. hope they fix it before the next BB starts..

just happy birthday stuff - I put copy link and the picture starts to form then they are rejected as not allowed
A VIP can post a picture that is on their own device directly to here. A non-vip cannot, but if they used a picture hosting site they can. Both VIPs and non-VIPs can post pics from other internet sites via the 'Insert/edit image' ICON. Also you need to use the URL of the image, not the UBB or HTML code.
Results of my research ... In the last couple of days the First Unread Post has behaved perfectly. The New button has not ... every thread shows as having new content. No offence Fluffs, but if I read your post (above) again I will scream!

I feel your pain Rexi. The 'NEW' button is no respecter of status and it tells me too that there are new posts, when there really aren't!
Baz posted:I have a new problem .......if I leave the site ( temporarily ) it keeps logging me out !! Also , why is the format box different in here
Not sure about the logging out Baz. Is it Happening every time, or just sometimes?
When you say the format box is different do you mean in this thread, or in GaGa........and different to what?
I love how I said about the 'New' thing but got ignored until someone else mentioned it.
Double enter and last post still not right either. . If anyone actually cares a hoot 
Olly, I had reported the "New" bug on 2 December, reported that you were having problems on 7 December and re-repoted on the 23rd. It seems that if you leave the forum within about 20 minutes of looking at a topic or making a reply on a topic the forum doesn't seem to remember so when you come back to the forum a topic is showing New even though there's nothing new and clicking on New takes you to the topic but to an earlier reply.
As far as the double enter is concerned, it's a case of getting used to Shift Enter if we want to move to a new line in a reply rather than a new paragraph.
Hey El Loro I know you reported the new thing a while back but at the time I was talking about opening a thread at new posts not the front page index, which on refresh has a big blue NEW next to threads that have new posts.. That doesn't clear either on a regular basis it is erratic and keeps saying NEW when there aren't any new posts to read. . It's a completely different thing to clicking on last unread and the first time I mentioned that particular foible was a couple of days ago. Like others I kept thinking this thread had new posts as it kept saying NEW next to it and I kept getting finding it hadn't.
I don't use enter + shift on any other internet fora or email applications where I am required to type so am not going to get used to it on here and don't see why I should ... it isn't common practice anywhere, only in the mind of whomever wrote the code that way
I am currently involved with discussions involving the development of a new Web interface for a brand new Platform which is message based, and which will be hosted on its own servers. The guy writing it is a very experienced programmer of over 20 or more yrs and not one single bit that requires any form of typing, like sending a message, uses enter/shift to get a new line.. He recently updated the older version for a short term solution and that didn't use enter/shift either.
I feel for those that use this place a lot.. it has to be pretty annoying and make some threads even longer than they need be which is funny as I thought the idea of the new format was to make it phone and tablet friendly
Maybe the guy who wrote it needs to look at this then
http://www.wpbeginner.com/begi...pacing-in-wordpress/
it shows how to get it back to normal.. not many people like the single enter for a new paragraph and even less like the enter+shift for a new line. .it makes no sense to have 2 key presses for a new line at all
Anyway I'll shurrup now 
Still can't post animations from Chrome, posting a picture takes ages, the collapse box doesn't come up immediately and then you have to repost it.
The wasted space, not being able to see more than a couple of posts at a time and everything takes twice as long with so much clicking...I really, really don't like it at all. I find it frustrating and annoying.
Sorry I find the forum so unuser friendly now -is there any chance of reverting to the old format but with bigger text for tablet users like Bazzy. It is horrendous for lappy /pooter users - sorry not techy so don't understand the techy stuff!! Posting and reading posts particularly is far more of a chore than it used to be . I lubbs being here -just feel it could be more user friendly
Hi, Ros: There is no going back, I'm afraid...
I use a laptop/desktop regularly, and don't see any issue, but I suppose it's a mix between personal preference and personal setup (the way your computer is set up compared to mine, I mean).
We are constantly working on Hoop.la and implementing new features/suggestions/changes, so I hope we can get to something that is easier for all of you!
