Credit to rez for the above. New Features:These will appear in a post and here.Thumbnails in posts:To post thumbnails instead of large images you just need to add the link to the post, instead of using the 'image button in post tool bar. Example: i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/pebbleleague/BMW%20m1_1.png i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/pebbleleague/Ferarri%20599xx_1.png i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/pebbleleague/Lotus%20Evora%20End.pngUpdate 09/10/2015The "Add Time" for the leader board 'should' now be appearing in a pop up in the middle of your screen. Anyone experiencing problems, please let me know in this thread, including your browser and platform details. IMAGE HOSTING - IMGUR for iOSfor me, on iOS, with the official imgur app... hit the big blue + tap camera roll choose your pic from your device tap the tick top right when the spinning circle turns into a tick, click upload then choose 'copy link' via the website, it's slightly different. and the link you copy doesn't have the .jpg at the end, so you'll have to type that in when posting in here. when on here, you can either just paste the link straight in to the post (it will appear as a thumbnail that can be clicked to expand), or you can use the insert 'image button' on the toolbar to load it so it is displayed in full.

Can we have a direct link to notifications on the main toolbar? Yes & no! If there is demand for it, then I'll add it. The problem is that the toolbar becomes crowded for those with slimmer screens. UpdateThe "Add Time" should now be appearing in a pop up in the middle of your screen. Anyone experiencing problems, please let me know in this thread, including your browser and platform details.

I certainly would prefer this to Messages as I get notifications at least 15 times more often....could we perhaps combine them somehow into one Notifications link (so Messages would come under Notifications heading)?

Thanks rez I don't know why it didn't occur to me no worries. it took me a while to realise. and on the iPad it's rather small, so it's easy to tap profile instead, or the main banner. but when my aim is true, it's useful.

Thank you, rez I will try it next time I have some notifications. Hmmmm, I wonder how many others didn't/don't know this - perhaps could be included in the list above as well....you could say the above "tip" in the list is the reason I always went the long way around . If this works (and I have no reason to doubt it won't) then I withdraw my "demand"

Of course not I am saying exactly the opposite - it allowed me to check whether it works, which is why I thanked you I just meant I predicted someone tagging me just for that purpose, klizy Having said that, this time I totally forgot and went the usual long way around so it might as well have been useless old habits.....keep tagging me until I get used to it they say 150 repetitions are needed

I've just noticed that only works if you simply click on it, not when you open it in a new tab which is what I usually do.

Hang on, are you saying klizy that you have only just realised that it works and up to now just thought it doesn't work for you because you've been opening up a new tab? Or you mean you just hadn't noticed when it works and when it doesn't?

I always open in a new tab by clicking on my mouse wheel. And this has the same effect if you click on the number or on "profile" (I didn't really look on which I was clicking before). So I didn't know it was doing something different with a simple click.

So I didn't know it was doing something different with a simple click. what is this 'mouse' and 'clicking' that you speak of? some kind of high frequency input control...sonar maybe? technology these days, I can't keep up

Somehow it didn't work, I still have to use image button. You need to use a host like photobucket or imgur. They are much better for downloading to sites like this ( and much quicker ). The reason dropbox doesn't work is that the link needs to end in an image format such as .png or .jpg, dropbox has a different end to the link.

the thumbnails work fine for me in imgur.
one thing to be careful of - if you go back in to edit your post, the thumbnail converts to a link. you will need to delete the URL and repaste the original URL (presumably to preserve the http prefix, which is part of the code requirement stuff type thing ??)
also, if you view these thumbnails in 'recent posts', they show up as links, not thumbnails. don't be tempted to try to re-edit your post, go look in the thread and you'll see the thumbnails again.

They should now be working in the recent post list. I didn't know they didn't work there!
