Just testing a photo
-
Yay, straight from my ipad onto the forum. Thanks MM.
-
That looks so very colourful Jeninwa.
Ok Judy, how did you do it? Also did you make the pork buns?
-
No I didn't make the bun cookie but MM has been dealing with forum complaints about not being able to post photos from our iPads directly onto the forum. He asked me to try it and it was so easy. Take your photos with the iPad, post something then press on "attachments and other options'. Click on "choose file". Click on 'photo library' and choose 'camera roll' to find the photo you want to post. Bob's your Uncle, there you are. It's a small photo but click on it and it becomes quite large.
Maybe Chookie might like to try to add some photos to her last postings to see if it works for her.
-
Thanks Judy.
-
Oh bother. Mine is upside down. Do you know how to fix that too please Judy?
If you click on it, it turns up the right way.
-
It's not upside down in tapatalk cookie
-
Thanks Jeninwa. The red terror was up at Wungong dam today, preparing for a Model A run on 22nd. November.
-
It's OK when you click on it cookie but it's rather large. This may not work for all iPads, mine is fairly new. If we can get a few members to try it out, we can report back to MM. He is going to work on the size of the font too.
-
Testing
-
Oh Judy I could kiss you.Your clear instructions worked on my older iPad Thank you thank you :-* :-*
Just need to work out how to get it upright ;D
-
Easy wasn't it Denise? It would be nice if we could make it larger without having to click on it but not too large.
-
So easy Judy.You're a clever lady :-*
-
How did you get yours so big spersephone?
-
I really hope you didn't cook that today ;)
-
I was just testing photo posting and now deleted him LOL
-
Saw that, thought it was funny! Now my post seems very odd. I should go to bed! Enjoy your night/tomorrow!
-
I meant the photo spersephone, not the scrolls LOL.
Bear with us please folks, we can delete or move all these test photos and chatter later.
-
Judy, thanks about the posting of photos. I will try as totally frustrated at not being able to post with Tapatalk.
-
I'm trying to upload photo.
-
Thank you MM and Judy. You have made my day.
Tha above photo is of Macadamia and Cheese crackers . Will now post recipe.
-
Well done Chookie. :)
-
Those crackers look awesome. My picture was just taken on my iPhone and grabbed from my photo stream on the iPad.
-
My name is Sarah Persephone, so it makes sense to me! :)
-
Wow, I do love all the photos. I don't have any dramas using Tapatalk so I will continue to use that. I will get DD to see if she can help me from going upside down in the photos.
I have noticed that when my font is minuscule, I have black on the RH side of my iPad. Some or all of the ads are replaced by blackness. I will photograph it next time.
My font is fine now, but when I took the photo the blackness was there.
-
To wake up this morning after a big sleep-in Chookie and see your photo has made my day. Goooo Chookie ;D
-
Someone told me that photos post upside down if you don't have the eye of the camera of your iPad on the left hand side. I tried that after posting some upside down ones myself when I first bought this new iPad cookie. I was able to post photos back then but within 2 weeks and 1 update of the system, it all went pear shaped and I couldn't them post anymore. It all had something to do with jpg or JPEG files I think, the IT obviously has now added whichever one was needed for the forum to accept our photos.
Cookie, sometimes my font is large enough but when I press the reply button, it goes so tiny I need a magnifying glass to read it. Hopefully MM can fix this problem as well.
-
During the FF, problems with the forum was discussed, collated and sent to MM for his attention. Last night he jumped on the problem, firstly the photo posting problem which we seem to have sorted out. These postings have all been transferred of the chatter from 'What are you cooking today' from last night and now it has it's own thread.
MM will move onto the size of the font next and hopefully the search function will be looked at too as it was on the list of complaints.
-
Well that was fun, NOT :-)) I went all over the place before finally managing to move everything to this new topic. I daresay some of you were 'watching' and having a good giggle. There may be a couple of comments floating around somewhere still though :D
-
OK, I found them - once I send this topic's link to MM my job will be completed.
-
Judy, the print is so small that I have made an appointment to have my eyes tested! I
-
Hopefully that will be next on MM's list of to do's Chookie.
-
Judy thanks for doing that. I'm still finding my font size is good if the ads show on the RH side and lousy if it's black.
Chookie I love your comment.
-
:o testing 123
-
The filled rolls look delicious Uni. Are you having a party?
-
Bring a plate at eves Halloween disco night last week
Was going to make pin wheels with bought bread , it wasn't doing it for me
-
Uni, I wouldn't mind testing your bread rolls. Isn't the bought white bread awful.
I think it is just water, yeast and air, perhaps a little flour.
-
Welcome back to photo posting on the forum Uni, see what we can achieve over a glass or two of limoncello ;D ;D
-
bought bread is awful ACW .
Its like magic JD
-
Judy you are a Forum angel getting everything in its place. :-*

LOL

It's no better here in the UK either. :-\
-
Maybe I will come back to the forum if the font is changed and not only the size.
Eye today .
-
is it sore Gert ?
-
The bruising has certainly come out - hope it isn't causing too much grief.
Keep your feet up and continue watching netflix.
-
It has to get worse before it gets better Gert but I hope it's not giving you too much grief.
-
Hi all,
We are going to fix font issue next. We'll change font.
As for Search Function, seems to work well on my Windows PC. Is this an ipda issue? (I don't have one).
After that, we'll move onto to other issues,
Thank you all for raising issues and testing changes out.
MM
-
Oh! Gert, it looks so sore. Hope it isn't causing you too much grief. Put your feet up and relax xxx
-
On both my iPad and PC it's the same but search for the same recipe on Google and it takes you to actual recipes MM not to a huge list of recipes with any of the words used. Try looking for chicken and corn soup on forumthermomix with our search engine and then with Mr Google and you will see what I mean.
-
All the best Gert xxxx
MM
-
Thanks MM for getting on with the solutions. It has been very frustrating. It is a real joy to be able to post photos again. Members and visitors love eye candy.
Like Judy I have had to use Google to locate recipes on the Forum.
-
I will survive but will the forum?
Colours are wishy washy. Keep it simple, basic and user friendly. There is so much competition and ease of navigation is paramount.
Gert
-
Have just used search on Forum and I think it has improved.
-
Test
-
Thank you so much Judy, first time I've posted a picture. Yay!
I just picked a random one my son sent me from the Cat Haven, he and his partner have chosen this cute kitty to love.
-
Such a cutie Katj, I hope it grows into it's whiskers LOL
I've just done a search Chookie and it looks the same to me.
-
The kitten is cute.
I hate using the search on here. Hopefully MM reads your comment Gert.
-
Well, I hope Gert when she get's back (I wish a fast recovery) will see that the font is larger and the color is black. :)
Is better this way?
As for the images, I was a very useful tip that made us solved the problem. I did not realize that iPad uses the jpeg extension format and not the jpg as everyone else. So that extension was not on the list of approved extension that we use to prevent spam and other types of attacks.
Keep the flow of suggestions. :)
-
Thanks Mr Admin.
-
Yes thanks a lot Admin and thanks Katie for the jpeg information.
The font looks good on the iPad but in the Topic 'What are you cooking today' in Chit Chat, it is still very, very small. Could you please have a look at it.
-

Hello
Uhm.. They should be the same in all topics (the change is for all), I do not have an Ipad to check at this moment, but I will try to see it on one.
Maybe some setting on the IPad?
I will keep looking on a more friendly Ipad theme.
-
Admin, I've taken an iPad shot of a page in that thread. You will notice the black area to the right, I think this is the only thread which has that. For some reason black areas on a page means smaller print.
-
Judy is correct about the very small print on the black edged page. Same on my iPad.
-
Yes the black is better but a bolder less fine font would help.
-
Judy and Chookie I'm glad you noticed the black edges, I posted about that a while ago. I hadn't had a reply so I thought it was only me.
-
It's me too, but I found Tapatalk, so use that on the iPad.
-
Yes although the print is darker it is still too small on the forum.
No change on tapa talk.
Thanks mm
-
love the darker print. Thanks MM :D
so much easier to read, looks really fresh.
Thank you
-
The new font is much better, but bigger would be even better (say my 30 year old eyes). I use the forum on my iPad when cooking and bigger makes things easier :)
Thanks MM for adapting the forum for its users :)
-
Uhm..
It seems the iPad is doing something out of the ordinary.
What is the browser?
-
I usually use safari, not sure what app others are using.

Can you use other? Firefor or chrome for example, just to test if the problem is due to safari?
-
I'm not very IT literate but I don't think so.
-
Hello to all
It seems that safari (the default browser on iPad) does not behave as the rest, And that is the reason for the black arear on the right.
Maybe using another browser would mitigate this situation.
Looking for another solution.

I'll have a go today :)
-
Admin with google chrome
-
Love the darker print. Thanks a lot.
-
I use firefox, the print is not darker at the moment.
-
I think the black line down the side of the page only occurs if there is a big photo on the page.
For example, in "what are you cooking today" on page 1803 there are 2 really big photos and the black line is on the side of the page. On pages 1802 and 1804 there are no big photos, so no black line.
Another example is the last page of the thread "backyard vegie gardeners", there is a big photo here and also a black line. In the new thread I posted "overnight sour dough", I posted some photos using Tapatalk and these photos look big. There is a black line on the side here as well.
I think the big photos (maybe all posted using Tapatalk), push the page over to the left and this makes the font smaller and the black line appears on the right hand side.
It looks the same to me on my iPad using Safari and my pc using both Internet Explorer or Chrome.
-
Thanks Katie. Admin, perhaps you need to increase our allowed photo size then. It seems the size of photos plays a big part in these problems in certain threads.
Photos uploaded from the iPad are much smaller but I find when you click on them to make them larger, it takes quite a few seconds for that to happen.
-
I like photos that are big enough to see without clicking on them. I guess I like to be quick. It looks as though I may have to just make the font larger on my ipad. Or even just revert back to the old forum. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I've just popped on here to check things out and hey presto, new font. I like it. So far I can read it. Thank you.
I e just checked over the other parts of the forum. The print is still small in other sections ( possibly the photos as suggested, but I love photos) but it is much clearer to read. I don't need to enlarge the page.
Great. Thanks Mr Admin.

testing
-

I just downloaded the Chrome app to compare, I think Safari is better as the text is larger.
Also, When in Chrome I couldn't see the test photo that CreamPuff posted today, but could see a good sized preview in Safari. I don't really find it a problem myself as I just zoom in when on my mobile devices.
Just an idea, for those with text size issues, if the 'conversation text' was the same size as the member name in the left column, it would be a really easy to read size. The conversation text should really be the easiest to see as I assume most people read the time and date information as secondary information (or not at all).
-
A successful test CP.
-
I feel the problem is the font itself . It is just too fine. There are thousands of fonts available so why not choose one simple one such as aerial black or similar.
I really hate the wishy washy colours in the theme chosen. I find it boring and not dynamic enough for easy reading so that is why I don't post or come here nearly as often as I used to. I miss it but I am on my I pad due to convenience and I Can't be bothered to stretch the text so can easily read it.
It is faster to go to FB to "talk" than it is to negotiate here. I absolutely loath the colour bars and particularly the one in POST REPLY /Topics Summary and others as it looks like baby poo. The ads are brighter!
-
Baby poo is an excellent colour description Gert. I must admit I often can't find the reply button because of colours.
-
This is much better. And I can find the reply button.
-
Kmw would love that photo can u pls send it to me, having problem viewing it
-
WTF just happened
-
Sorry Uni I was just testing & the picture was a panorama & the font didn't cope on the iPad made it really really small so removed. So I think the size of the photos is having an impact on the size of the text.
I will send the photo separately.
-
:o ok thats better , i was thinking i was seeing things
-
:)
-
I have just raise the font to a little bigger.
And did a change in the right ad.
-
The right ad is certainly narrower.
-
Oh yes Admin, that's much better. Even in 'what are you cooking today' I can read the posts. Thank you very much.
Now, what was next on our list? Oh yes, the search function.
-
Just up loaded a photo, thank you, thank you, so easy. 😃😃😃
-
Having trouble posting photos, yesterday and today. Will try again now with different photo.
-
This one worked so must be the photo,
-
I had a few problems yesterday myself Chookie.
-
Th\at text size is good, thankyou MM
-
I absolutely loath the colour bars and particularly the one in POST REPLY /Topics Summary and others as it looks like baby poo.
Admin has now changed the colour to a dark green, much better isn't it? So far we have the font changed, ad size reduced and now the colour of the topic bars. Next hopefully will be to find a solution to the search function. Thanks for listening to our members MM and Admin.
Update, have just been on the laptop and the colour hasn't changed there, it's still the colour Gert mentioned ;D
-
Huge improvement
-
Mine seems to change colour with the weather. At the moment it was a cream/beige colour and the last posts I was looking at it was black. At least the banner on the RH side is smaller.
