Just tested on Desktop, Mobile w/ mobile skin, and Mobile w/desktop skin, and they all directed me to my own post, when I replied. I had Newest First set as my display order.

Can we no longer upload photos from our machines to insert in a post? Clicking "Insert Photo" is back to the "Please enter the URL of your image" of long ago, not the options to upload. Does this mean I need to again find a site to host my photos, upload them, get a URL, copy, paste, etc.?
The " How to post photos" thread isn't very helpful....

when I’m quoting a very long post, but only want to address one point toward the end, I’ll replace the first few paragraphs of text with “ ...” (selected the text to delete, but don’t recall if I overtyped or hit “backspace”)
when I hit “Submit” the display has the grey box with “Originally posted by” and the “ ... ”; then there’s a blank line with another grey box containing “Originally posted by” and the rest of the text, followed by another blank line and my reply
the source code has multiple instances of “[ color = # 333333 ]” and “[ / color ]” (spaces added); by deleting some of those I can get rid of the extra grey box so the entire quote appears in a single box

The "like" link has only worked for me about 80% of the time since the recent upgrade...seemingly not a browser issue because I don't notice any difference across devices.
On a completely different topic, there don't seem to be any obvious links to this forum on the ft home page or under the forums menu.

copy/paste occasionally duplicates line breaks (multiple lines, with a blank line between each, in the original wind up with two lines between each)
I haven’t looked at the source code when this happened as it was a simple matter to backspace away the extra lines

It doesnt, but the issue is that the buttons are covered by the multitasking bar (the line at the bottom center of the screen; see my original screenshot). So if I want to go forward or backward I have to tap it once to raise it above the multitasking bar, and then again to actually click the correct button.

OK, I think that's enough pangrams for this post.

Are there specific posts that your "Like" doesn't work on? Does it work if you press it a second time? I know you said it's on different devices, but do you use a common browser for them (Safari or Chrome come to mind)?

None yet. Keep in mind that no one is in the office during weekends, but I did ask for an update from tech.
