The only bug I've noticed is that the button that allows one to link back to the original picture page on sliding panoramas is gone. I noticed this issue on one of my pages, but it also affected the sliding panorama example given in the FAQ.
I saw that too, but assumed it wasn't a bug, but intentional. In fact, I think it's an improvement: you don't need that button, you can click on the image itself for the same effect.
As far as the FAQ is concerned, there are some more sections that need to be updated, like the ones on voting and power points. I reckon that getting the site itself upgraded has higher priority than updating the FAQ.
It so happens that I use sliding panoramas regularly. This morning, shortly after SP was up again, I spent some time figuring out how to make it look good again, and have changed a few of my pages accordingly. In fact, I've used HTML for other non-standard things as well. I regularly have images in non-standard sizes, and sometimes want to embed a map or a weather report, to name a few.
The new SP means I'll have to check and fix all my pages. I was fully aware that this might happen when I decided to use HTML, so I will do it in the next few weeks.
Here is an example of a working HTML fragment that shows a scrolling panorama:
<noformat>
<div align="center" class="thumb" style="background-color:transparent !important;">
<div style="width:976px;height:540px;overflow:auto;">
<a href=
/view_object.php?object_id=779733>
<img src=
"http://images.summitpost.org/original/779733.jpg" height=500>
</a>
<br>
Panorama of Tocllaraju, taken during my reconnaissance hike. If you look closely, you can see where the trail gains the NW ridge. </div>
</div>
</noformat>
To use this, replace the
object link with whatever you want to refer to, replace the
image link by a link to your image, and substitute something meaningul for the
image caption.
The example uses a summitpost image, and links to the page for that image, but you can use any image or link. For the record, the image extension is case sensitive: if you posted your image with extension .JPG, then you have to use JPG, not jpg to refer to the image!
And here is an example of a big centered image, but not so big that I want scroll bars:
<noformat>
<div align="center" class="thumb" style="background-color:transparent !important;">
<div style="width:976px;">
<a href=
/view_object.php?object_id=780495>
<img src=
"http://images.summitpost.org/original/780495.jpg" width=970>
</a>
<br>

</div>
</noformat>
I've used these two fragments in
my latest trip report. As I only posted that a few days ago, I obviously wanted it to look all right again as soon as possible.
Note: Edited to fix a small bug in the code examples.
