or one like it was something I was trying to post somewhere, but there aren't video tags to put around it anymore and when I tried putting link tags around it it didn't show up either.

Edit: well there it goes again. The link shows up when I try to edit the post, but not in the actual post itself.

Does it show up when I quote my post?

Edit: I guess so.

Yeah, but this is just a video that they're hosting isn't it? At least the link was supposed to be to the source URL, not my facebook page. Maybe they've changed how they do links to draw in more traffic. That might explain it. At one time, asking for the source URL just too you to the video on a blank background and didn't have any facebook comments or anything. That might no longer be the case.

I just tried adding a note to one of the C&V threads. I entered just text, then hit the Preview button. It showed me the preview just fine, but it showed me no buttons at all. No Post, no Preview, no Cancel, no Go Advanced. Fortunately I had copied all the text, so I went back to the previous page and started all over again.

You folks did something to the font or font size, and it's good for me, so thank you.

But the background color is still hard on my eyes. I see what you're doing with the fade, but I'm not sure how important it is. Perhaps alternating shades of a light blue background would be better: alternate with each post. Or just make a thick dark line between the posts.

Please, please, please ditch the peach background, or whatever color it is supposed to be. A soft blue would be soooo much nicer.

Can you provide the steps you used to get this error? Did you hit quick reply or actually quoted text?

Just tested it on Chrome mobile and it is working for me. You might have to zoom out and be precise on your tap but it should work.

Any progress on the following two issues:
  1. Make thumbnails thumbnail sized again
  2. Make thumbnails mouse sensitive so you can view the original images.
Here's a short thread which demonstrates both problems. In the first post, randyjawa attached three photos. All three are much larger than what I think of as "thumbnails," yet are not large enough to be truly useful by themselves. Unfortunately, they are not mouse sensitive either, so I can't view the original images.

Thx...

You HAVE thumbnails! Windows 7/IE 11 still has LINKS. I think you are lucky in that respect.

@Rollfast. When I loaded IE11 (I don't even think I have used any IE past 8) it first loaded links and then it loaded the same thumbnail as in chrome. It was not able to be clicked. I like smaller thumbnails which are clickable.

I like the color scheme in IE11 better, the light grey background is nicer than the yellow background.

I hadn't thought this might be platform- or browser-specific. This morning I was referring to my Linux box running Chrome. I'll check my Mac running Chrome (or Firefox, or Safari) this evening.

You are using 7, or 10?

I'm still working with our tech dept to get the colors changed guys. I'm sorry it is taking so long. But FYI I have seen it be browser-dependent myself.

On my Mac, viewing the Hozan FS ad:
  • Chrome - big thumbnails, not clickable
  • Firefox - big thumbnails, not clickable
  • Safari - big thumbnails, not clickable

I'm beginning to sense a pattern.
