UPDATED COMMUNITIES Q&A CLINIC

What's with the POPUP list of messages, just a few and "See more", then you can only see titles and a user's avatar if they have one but no user name to see who the messages are from.

That is HORRIBLE and USELESS, there was nothing wrong with the old PM system/list.

I am still having problems with notifications - bizarrely, I am just getting them for one thread (and _not_ the one I have been posting most on since the upgrade...)

Also having problems with the 'closed for maintenance' page coming up intermittently - when I open Internet Explorer (LG forum is one of my homepages) on the desktop, and on iPad (Safari) whenever I click on the 'forum' tab - I have to use my bookmark (which works fine, but sometimes only at 2nd attempt) to get back to the main forum page.

The site remains a bit slower than is ideal, but better than it was yesterday. I haven't tried posting photos yet, and not sure I'll bother - not prepared to either go through flickr, or manually resize everything beforehand.

Whatever else is wrong with new system and there are many, it is the SLOWNESS  which is the worst.

I am trying out Avant browser and notice that there is a message at the bottom of the pages which doesn't show up in other browsers, so does it provide a clue?  Trouble is, it's tiny and runs all the way along the bottom so I can't screenshoot all of it, but it goes Waiting for: rspb.org.uk/community/...

and on and on and on...

If you click on this version it will be readable:

I haven't had to resize any screenshots, RACHEL, but I appreciate that "real photographers" will have to, probably.

When I clicked on your post to reply + rich formatting it went ever so fast!  Probably will go slow when I hit Post though.

I don't have a problem with resizing or editing my photos, having always done that anyway. What does worry me is that the site seems to be getting more unstable/unpredictable, rather than improving, over time.

Help!! - Anyone tell me how to upload a photo. I don't have Flickr account or anything else. When I click on "insert image" box, nothing happens.

For me, the site has almost ground to a halt. I did get in but it took several minutes for the Main community page to load (this is where I always access the site from via a shortcut on desktop). Very off putting.

1.4MB uploaded straight from my PC. Very fast. No problems.

I agree with Bob's_retired_now (forgive any error in name) that the font needs changing - the blog looks dreadful - admittedly it could do with more paragraphs.
