Playing with the new site photo uploads

Profile picture for user justkeepswimming

I'm going through the discovery process on how to do things on the new site. Sadly I deleted my profile photo (it needed replacing) before figuring out how to do things. Looks like most photos upload much more easily. I just can't seem to reduce the file size enough for the profile pic. 

Also, when I click on "preview", it shows me what things will look like before saving the blog entry, but I can't actually change anything on that screen. Using the back button gives fair warning that everything will be deleted. 

Meanwhile.... 

Yesterday's bake: Yorkshire Tea Cakes (buns, really). Great for sandwiches or as a side with soup. And a favorite swim spot we only get to visit very rarely in Death Valley. 

Nice looking rolls.

I just bumped up the profile feature file size, so that might solve your issue.

Preview is really weird on this system. 

When writing a blog or forum post, after you hit the Preview button, there is a bar at the top with a "Back to content editing" link in it. If you click that, you'll escape from preview mode and be able to continue editing. I intend to try to make that link much hotter and more obvious because I really don't find it obvious what to do on that screen.

Thank you! That worked, new profile photo uploaded with ease. Photos are way easier to upload from my phone than on the old site!! 🎉

And for whatever reason it is letting me make changes after clicking "preview" now. I tried that bar at the top earlier and nothing was happening, probably because you were in the middle of doing something magical with it. 😄
