Where is the "mark forums read"? Cannot find it... tried the 3 dots, the menu, my avatar... should be on the main forums page, or the new items page.

Thanks Greg, most helpful as usual !

Seeing as I have nothing beyond my old laptop, apps don't really apply to me, so I can simply ignore this "bonus" feature.

I believe it's all handled automatically now, for the most part.

It least exists here on the What's New page.

 

[Greg Elmassian]

I think so, unless they have extended the common meaning to emails... if so, just say no!

Thanks, there it is staring me in the face, somehow I got on a page where it seemed to not exist.

Thanks
I found them under followed forums and discussions
The only problem is the photos are missing from some of them whereas the old setup had photos for all of them.

A trivial complaint perhaps, but I miss the old MLS logo. It represented this sight for well over a decade. Seems a shame to just toss it away now when I suspect it could easily be incorporated into the new software.

over a decade? yes, how about.. seventeen years!
Taking a look at the "wayback machine", mylargescale.com first went online July 4, 2000.
(and it looks like the earliest forums that would become MLS existed for a time earlier than that, hosted by the Utah Garden Railway Society on their page)

And the "MLS Shay logo" was first seen in 2003.

I assume this is the bug reporting thread.....

Here is yet another post where the image ens up being posted twice - in that case a whole set of images - second post in this thread:

New Magnetic Power Coupling

A fellow Garden Railroader in Germany got fed up paying big bucks to equip his passenger cars with ball-bearing metal wheels for power pickup to light his passenger cars, so he came up with this idea of a power coupling using magnets that will connect automatically when cars are coupled and...

This is at least three times I have seen that problem with the new forum software....and I look at relatively few threads so there are probably more occurrences.

If you see missing photos that weren't already missing, please let me know the post URL so we can look into it.

It is usually related to how the member added the image.

I usually just copy/paste or drag/drop into the text editor with my content. If you use the insert icon button but then also click full, it can end up posted twice.

How To Upload Images To Posts

Start your post and normal and then click on the insert image icon.

It will pop up telling you to drag an image there or click. If you drag and drop it, you will see it show up in your post. If you click, it will allow you to navigate to where it is on your computer.

Then just click the image so it adds the file name for you, then click on open.

Finish adding any content and then simply post your reply.

Allright - I will try this very carefully

That worked, how about this?

I don't understand why it should matter how one adds the image, but it seems something did get fixed.

I tried the large image I had trouble with before where it posted twice.
I tried inserting the image once by selecting "full image" and then again but selecting "Thumbnail" - in both cases I got what I expected.
Well...when selecting "Thumbnail" I actually expected to just see the thumbnail in my post, not the full sized image as well, but that is definitely better than getting the full image twice.
