Site update status: Test site available

Hmm... you mean to a new post? I just used both the "attach file" at bottom of post creation or the little image icon. Worked on iOS for me.:dontknow:
I was able to upload photos using my Android phone (Galaxy S9). If you try to attach an image directly to a post, there is a size limitation. The raw photo file on my phone was ~3.5MB, which was rejected. I used an app called Picsay to resize the photo on my phone to 1600x1200, which dropped it to about 0.5MB. That uploaded without problems.
Alternatively, if you click on the Menu (three stripes) and select Media - Your Albums. Then pick an album and select Add Media (red box). You can then upload your photo, even a large one.
The media navigation can be a bit cumbersome. If you don't select an album first, you get a list of all possible albums you can put your new photo into....it's a very large list. At the bottom you can pick a personal album. This will be item #44,218 on our site improvement Wish List, to put that option at the top

Don't know. I'll see if I can dig through the site and see what triggers that message. I'm using Chrome exclusively and haven't seen it.
The three button home screen is just there for the test site. I wanted a place to warn people not to create content they wanted to save there. The "start" is currently set to the Forum List, though it's probably configurable to what's new if we'd like to do that.
Are we talking about the wide yellow border areas. I'm pretty sure that's also configurable. I'll see if I can get more content, less margin.
Mike noticed the size limits as well. I don't kwow what they default to, but at least we should publish what they are and possibly incrase them.
Ahh, file size probably explains the differing experience uploading from iPhone. Is max file upload size an admin setting? Many pics don’t need hi-res but it is nice to see things like Phil’s Pennsylvania box or Charlie’s segmented turnings in hi-res. It’s also a time factor to convert the image.
Anyway, I am excited about this conversion and I like the test site. Big thanks to Ron et al.

Yes, I'll need to check the upload size limits. I'm pretty sure they're settable somewhere.I was able to upload photos using my Android phone (Galaxy S9).

I found the initial media gallery screen clunky as well. I'll see if I can find a better way.
I didn't move any events over. I manually added a calendar event for the Picnic based on your previous announcement.
Yeah, sorry about that Steve. I had to change your password because USER ID #1 is a magic one when you're installing the software. Your account should be there and you can go through the "I forgot my password" to set it back. I'll make a note of saving/restoring it next time around.
Bas, can you post some pictures?
I tried to do that, but am probably not understanding what you are doing.
I was in a thread - maybe you are starting somewhere else?
I clicked on the Menu:
View attachment 29730
Then I chose Media and this is what I saw:
View attachment 29731
I did not see an option for "your albums"???
You have the wrong menu, you want the three horizontal bars on the top left of the screen. Note that you only see that if you're on a mobile browser. If you're on a PC with a regular browser, select "Media" from the top menu and click "Your albums"
EDIT: There is currently no way that I can see to select a photo from an album to insert into a post. You have to either attach a file or supply the URL.

Just a first quick un through. Checked out "Forums", there was no Corporate Member forum as on the current site.. I sthis being imported or is this infor going to a different forum? Otherwise it looks good and I am sure that like anything new or renovated, it will take tweeking to get it close to the old site.

I laughed pretty hard at that one too!

Fascinating. Usually, on the list of things that people miss, my humor is #44,218
