This thread is for things on the community that don't work. This does not include formatting, so if there are issues with the lay out, colours or fonts please see our 'Requests for new features' thread.
Clare also asked about the (for now shelved) multi image posting - your last post said that it would continue to be worked on. We are still interested if any headway has been made - neither of us will be angry if there has been no real progress, we just want to know where the Community is at with this
STILL NO REPLY FROM RSPB.

Hi, No progress has been made on this. As was stated originally, this was a feature request and never in the original intended upgrade. Big Garden Birdwatch and a number of other things have prevented us from doing any further work to get this live.
Apologies for the delay in responding, we're gearing up for Big Garden Birdwatch in January and our resource (and capacity to respond from a technical perspective)is limited right now.

Many thanks for your reply Frankie .
I've been playing about with IE11 to see if it works better for me with this site. It does seem to load pages more quickly with less waiting. I wanted to test whether it would post photos more easily. Unfortunately, when I tried to open the editor using "rich formatting" it doesn't display the icons so I'm stuck.
I've had to do this using Firefox. It's a very small file so it worked.

Oh, well done, Alan., that worked. Thanks very much. Life's a struggle isn't it. Now to try Uploading a photo.
Well eventually I found one small enough (110kb) which would load after trying many others all under 1 Mb. Couldn't get it on a new line for some reason.
Strange because I can upload files of decent size to Google Drive in a few seconds. There must be something about my system which is not communicating properly with this site but I don't know what.
I think I'll just give up for the time being.
We're using Opera and are able to upload photos less than 4mb. Eventually.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Unknown said: Even at 110kb that photo still looks ok on my machine TJ so it just shows you don't need a massive size

This one is 85.7kb
Hey chaps, thanks for letting us know regarding this, will make sure it is passed on.
I've just posted three screen captures to the peregrine thread. Each of them was under 95kb - all of them took two attempts to post as an error message came up for each. Please tell me what is causing this and how I can try to avoid it happening.
