Having to do that 20+ times is non-trivial. I just spent an hour running through this exercise, while generating the original, bbcode took all of 5 minutes.

Most of the photos seem to be gone again? I'm not sure what happened.

Photo tool does not work. It gets cut off by new top bar. Cannot add images. Very annoying.

There is a picture tutorial in this post: A comprehensive guide to clicking the upload button, which is unnecessarily complicated.

I'm just going to use the old [IMG ... /IMG] system when putting in photos.

This is a silly and stupid problem. Simple solution: revert to the old header until it can be resolved without inspecting the code.

The banner is nice and all, but it's all form over function; it cuts off the area where one has to click to post a picture.

Used the INSPECT, "Global header", DELETE NODE method to upload this screen shot.
I wouldn't call this user friendly, or particularly aesthetically pleasing!!

I find pretty much every time I press "reply to thread", or the arrow for the last post in a topic, the Web page on my Android phone (Chrome) freezes for 15 secs minimum.
May or may not suddenly do something after that point.

Sometimes the same thing when composing a message. The cursor vanishes whilst the page is locked up.

Why not remove the ridiculous new banner which is causing so many problems? Is there no fix for this problem beyond breaking down the code?

If you disable infinite scrolling under "Edit Option" in MyFlyerTalk, you can scroll down until the banner disappears; then, there are no issues with uploading images.

Thanks. Will try this. Please let us know, though, when infinite scrolling can be restored while keeping the ability to post pictures.

Last night I can't upload one capture screen with my post (and almost gived up) until I checked the flyertalk forum tech, and stopped the infinite scroll mode, how can be this automatic settings so unfriendly activated or this banner activated without consideration about that problem ?

Not everybody have skill with technology, maybe it will be great that the FT technical staff think a little more about it (we call that ergonomy ).

Trying to upload a photo in a review and am getting an error "check server permissions"... anybody going through the same? Temp issue or has it been going on awhile? Or could it be on my end (tried multiple photos, less than 2 megs, also tried different browsers)

TWA884, thanks for the "Disable infinite scrolling" idea, that seems to have stop the banner from blocking the uploading images button.

Still, I agree with MatthewLAX, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. 🤦

I'm certainly not going to run to imgur or flickr to upload couple photos then do all the extra coding junk to help someone answer a 5 sec question.
Like here
Finnair A350 XWB master thread

Now a TR, I would use imgur or flickr because TR have to be drafted in advance.
Simple post replies, I don't
