My dearest IB Jason,

Concerning this new photo uploading thing you have referenced here: https://my350z.com/forum/feedback-an...oader-254.html

You mention that "We've rolled out a new photo uploader that makes adding images to threads and posts much, much easier." However, it makes it much, much harder. It used to be that one would click on the mountain picture thing and then just paste the URL of the photo and boom it's in there like swimwear. Now, I have to do some weird uploader that tells me invalid file type 75% of the time (on imgur no less, which is quite common). So instead I just type out the [img] and [/img] tags and paste the URL myself.

If we could have back the old way that would be great.

Kind regards,

Stuatross

 

cosigned.

 

agreed, it sucks

 

Only works from my IPad a 1/4 of the time

 

+1...yeap

 

i hate it more than TH!

 

If there was a way to separate the Insert Image button and create a second Upload Image button, that would probably work a little better.

 

My favorite part is when it says invalid URL, but keeps uploading, and then when you hit cancel you also have to hit ok. It's so cumbersome...

 

agree. the old way seemed easier

 

If this doesn't get fixed North Korea is going to hack the site!

 

Thanks for sharing your feedback (and apologies for my delayed response). The uploader is a product we plan to update on a regular basis, and I'm happy to report that we are addressing your concerns in an upcoming revision. The most notable changes will be proper mobile device support (including tablets), faster load times, and a reprioritizing of the 'upload from URL' option that will not only put it at the top of the uploader, but also select it by default so you can simply paste your URL without needing to click around first. We will also properly support direct imgur image URLs.

The new update is currently undergoing internal testing, but should live within the next few weeks.

Thanks again and happy holidays!

 

Thank you for the updates sir...

 

Bump.

 

Many of the features I mentioned in my previous post should now be up and running, including the reprioritizing of the 'upload from URL' option and faster loading. We're still working out the final parts of the mobile site support, as well as proper imgur support, but those will be launching soon as well.

StuLax18, are there any other aspects of the current image uploader you're having trouble with?

Thanks!

 

the old one was easier and faster

 

Imgur still doesn't work, which was the only issue I ever had, aside from fixing something that wasn't broken and making it broken.

 

seems to be a recurring theme....

 

I appreciate the additional feedback. We are still working to integrate imgur support and it should be available soon.

Thanks!

 

Imgur still borked. Trying to post some spicy maymays.

 

I've reached out to IB for updates on this Stu...
