Never mind. I figured it out. The Message Forum apparently doesn't like apostrophes in the message title.

I'm having trouble uploading images. I followed instructions, but it just goes back to the upload page without anything happening. Am I missing something?

@YEM I had the same issue with the new image uploader a few months back. Replicated the issue today by selecting an image followed by clicking "Finish Upload of all files". This is what the instructions tell you to do which drops the photo(s) by default!

So instead:
1. Select images
2. Click the blue "upload" button.
3. Click "Finish Upload of all files"

Step 2 is what trips people up including myself. @Matt to avoid changing instructions and upload failures, we should have the "Finish Upload of all files" button only appear after the blue upload button has been clicked (onclick event). This would remove all confusion with the upload system. Attached is a screenshot showing the button which I've changed from blue to red to make more obvious where the button is.

Bulk uploader still isn't working.

I'm having major problems trying to add photos using this tool.



They all show up like this:



Here's how they always show up. It seems to be retroactive as well as all photos added recently defaulted.

Edit: Actually, looking at my pages added within at least the last year, none of my photos show up in the page at all. They are all gone:

Today, December 31st, I noticed the same bug reported by Scott.
This involves the complete disappearance of the photos in all the pages (Mountains, Routes, Articles) on the site, even the older ones.
The photos are always present on the site, but photos no longer open next to text on the pages.

Example:

I talked to Matt and it has been fixed

I assume others are having the same problem, but I can't scroll down any pages on the phone anymore. A giant McDonald's Ad pops up that can't be closed every time I try to scroll down.

The WHAT'S NEW function doesn't work. The page is empty.

What's New does not work for me either.

Why does the What's New function not work so frequently? When that is not working, I can not upload photos either.

Dead again.

It works sometimes yes and sometimes no during the course of the same day. It's quite annoying, as it prevents you from seeing the sequence of pages created and photos downloaded.

I haven't seen that problem, but what browser is it? (I'm not one to fix it; just asking).
