New format, dislike.....

how come one can't upload a picture, that should have been included with the "update"  a pictures worth 1000 Words, don't you know :-)

Peter, I would like that as well, if anybody out there is listening...
Audio Circle, Audio Asylum, among others can include pics within their posts.

(unless they don't have the storage capacity of maintaining hundreds, if not thousands of images. I belong to "Classical Music Forum" and every so often, the Admin. has to purge the system of  the jpg's).

Count me among those who would like to post pictures....they can really enhance a thread if folks can share images of what they are discussing, plus...cloud storage is relatively cheap.
Also count me among those who would like a background other than white, and perhaps bolder print than the thin, greyish looking print I see while typing here.
I tend to like the Calibri font that I see while typing a post better than the Georgia font that is displayed  once it is posted...not sure why they would be different.
I can live with the format of the overall changes but don't really count it as a quantum leap forward, yet.

The way I see sites getting around that is to have the poster post the image  to a sharing site and just link to that. No need to store it then. It is more work for the poster, but takes much less disk space. I can’t see them purging files on a regular basis. That said, they are somehow maintaining a lot of pictures in the Virtual Systems section. Maybe they could use the same mechanism.

Very true, I forgot about that.
As for posting to a sharing site, I've been on forums where they ask members to do that, and let's face it, posters are lazy or don't have the time, so the photo gets uploaded.
But, that is certainly an option.

Hey, if Audio Asylum can do it, Audiogon should be able to add this feature.

It was a while ago, but last time I tried it there it did not work :(
