Improvement suggestions regarding the JOTM uploading process.... And stuff

[Ian]

I tried to enter one last night but, couldn't upload any photos to my post, is there something I'm not doing right?

I had same problem..... Do your write up and hit create contest entry to upload photos

If I press the camera icon, all I can upload is what's in my forum media album, I can't find a way of accessing what's on my phone camera.

Go in to Aprils jotm Bri and select post new contest entry.







Then select upload contest entry, that'll access your camera roll. Upload 15 images or less and then select create contest entry.





That should create your entry Bri.

Thanks Marc. Im going to try and be as constructive as I can with this post. Its stuff like this that has killed the forum for me in recent months, it is so unnecessarily complicated and ridiculously cluttered, it's so off putting. I really like the forum content and the members but, (in my opinion) something needs to be done with the layout and set up, none of the pages scroll properly and why are there so many "like" options for a post? I can't be the only one who is of this opinion. Yes the software is great and has all these options but, lets be honest, the vast majority of it is a bit pointless. It's hard to write this without sounding like I'm having a moan but, good grief, something that should be so simple and at one time was user friendly, has quite frankly, turned into a massive mission, to the point where I just can't even be bothered trying to post.

I do think there are parts that could be streamlined
Bri, for sure, but I suppose we have to know what is wrong before we know what is right.

But I'm sure @Dan will welcome your feedback Bri.

Ok, not really the thread for it but I'll post it here anyway. Facebook has its flaws, mainly the trolls and lack of moderation, however, it's real attraction is it's pure simplicity, it's been built so that divvy Donna from Doncaster can sell her 14 year old *** burned sofa with a couple of clicks on her stolen Samsung s6, that's what people want, not 18 different processes to ask why their grout is patchy and 14 different options to thanks any respondents for their time. Keep it all simple, we are here to talk about sticking squares and rectangles to things, nothing more, nothing less. All this is of course my opinion, but, from a member who has 11000+ posts, I'd encourage you to have a look at the set up.
