Do you have a place you want glitch/bug reports?

Note new comment by LHS is not reflected in notifications. It is two hours old.

To be honest, going to all that trouble to zoom in on an image just isnt going to happen. Thats way too much trouble. Who the heck has time to do that over and over? I zoom in all the time, so this is a major disappointment for me.

However, I still have some hope. I just noticed that if a post only has a single image, then the two level zoom still works! But if it has two or more images, then you cant zoom in the second time.

Is this a bug or a feature or?

Do you have plans to add the second level zoom back into the system for posts with more than a single image? Please? :smiley:

I’m not sure how much users would use maximum zoom… I know it is fun to watch trichomes, but how many actually do?

If there is larger demand I’d check what I can do once current update settles little bit…

Please vote if you want maximum zoom on images back:

  • Yes, I’m using maximum zoom when browsing photos in posts.

I’m one that regularly zooms in as far as possible. Many times the details can only be observed at the higher zoom levels.

But mostly only when on the PC. From a phone, not so much.

I do. Now I find myself trying to zoom every picture and being frustrated a hundred times per session when it doesn’t work :smile:

Was especially frustrated to have posted larger pics in my grow thread that cannot be zoomed in (did they get auto resized or something?), when zooming in was specifically something I had in mind with the pictures I had uploaded.

Also, a lot of the Markdown in previous posts is now no longer working.

Where’d the logout button go?

I’ve added poll to post above, please anyone who is interested in this feature vote Yes… Thank you!

Yep, notifications are temporarily delayed.

I’m aware of that… I’m re-generating all uploads including avatars with priority and this is sometimes too intensive on CPU and it postpones other background jobs like notifications. I’ve used more easy settings and notifications should be quicker now… (there is always some trade-off needed :slight_smile: ).

Exactly! Its not just trichomes. I use it on most all of my own posts, but also every time someone posts anything Im interested in - root porn, sick plants, wiring questions, plumbing questions etc etc etc.

I noticed when I try to quote someone in conversation, it deletes the quote automatically and says “edited” as I post it. Most of the time, but not all the time.

Yes I can confirm that. It happens when you completely quote the last post. In the case system knows that quoted text is redundant because you react directly to the post above yours.

Man I hate this not being able to zoom in. I really dont want to go back and edit ALL my previous posts so that every single picture is in a separate post, but many of those pics are useless to me if I cant zoom in all the way. Makes using this as a grow log far less than ideal for saving data to review down the road.

Sorry Joe, but I am a really unhappy camper right now. Its not just my grow log. I was going to offer some help to another grower today, but he posted several pics in one post and I cant see enough detail to even ask good questions.

If I have to download every single pic just to offer someone an opinion, that justt not going to happen. I dont have the time or energy to do that.

Hi @anon32470837, sorry to hear that… I’ll definitely get maximum zoom working, just bear with me, there are still tasks I need to do to finish this update. Many things still happening under the hood, I’ve fixed many bugs in past few days. Whole upload storage is being reprocessed. Once critical functions are established and 100% working, I’m going to work on improvements. Thanks for patience!

Hi Joe. How about making this a more public/visible poll? Somehow I dont think a lot of folks have seen this with only 16 votes in 24 hours.

Im trying to decide if its worth the trouble to me to only post a single image in each post in my threads so I can zoom in all the way. Ive decided that I really really dont like not being able to zoom in to full size image easily and quickly. Downloading each image or opening each image separately in a new browser window is a deal breaker. I just dont have the time or energy to do that. If I cant see details, it makes my images useless to me for future reference when Im tying to remember what I did and how well it worked, etc etc. The fine details really matter to me.

Its also making helping other people very problematic. All to often the details you need to see to provide good advice just dont show up well, or at all, on the first level of zoom.

Anyway, Im hoping that if more folks see that there may be a way to get the full zoom option back, and vote for it, maybe we can talk you into it? I really really hope? :slight_smile:

Or - is this going to be a server intensive option that will raise costs too much? I sure hope not.

EDIT: @LemonadeJoe - you posted just before I did, so ignore this. I can wait :slight_smile:
