Looks like I CAN drag and drop photos. There's a 1MB size limit which is reasonable.
EDIT: Not sure about changing display size of an image yet. That pic is 2,048 x 1,536 pixels so it seems like I should be able to display it a bit larger.

So far, so good. I am trying to figure out some things. Any wisdom would be appreciated on the following:
- I am trying to tweak settings on the "Community" board so that it is accessible only to members.
- I would LIKE to put up a graphic, maybe an old fashioned TV or radio, in the banner, but retain the title.
- Should we require "Registration" for Members?

I ........ it depends how successful you become - it would require more than one admin to go through the process for each applicant should people start breaking down the doors to get in  but it's about the only way, I think, that would keep out spammers |

That sounds like a sensible approach -- unless we suddenly start having a problem with trolls/spammers, a registration/approval process may be more cumbersome than necessary.
It looks like item 1 is already taken care of. |

LFC mentioned, over on the other board, something about a 503 error that lasted a while (I can't answer over there - sorry). ProBoard is a very stable platform and very rarely goes down ...... I can't remember the last time I saw the Err Bear (you'll know it if you ever see it).

LFC also mentioned that the outage was brief, under 25 minutes.
That report of the stability is good to know; I’ll relay that info.

Excellent! I can post YouTube videos. Ant it's much easier than it was on the old TRS board.
If I can do pix just as easily I'll be a happy bunny.

How did LFC get to be a Grad Student - two stars? All the rest of us are pimply Undergraduates. Have you, Bact, set up a degree mill on this board? I want everything that's going — with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. Gimme! |

You don't get the title if you don't put in the work, Mr Bikkies. Post more and work your way up!  |

Can the default font size be enlarged for the whole board? I enlarge it on my personal posts, but I'm finding it a bit of a strain to read what appears to be an 8 or 10 pt font that is apparently the default size. I can "zoom in" so I see larger font, but I suspect this is a problem for all of us here.

I’ll see what I can do when I get on my laptop. It doesn’t look as if I can do much (?any?) Admin stuff from a mobile device.

Does this work better?

Well that explains why my entire experience suddenly became larger. It took me by surprise.
