New site features: photos, articles, and more
This thread is for comments on the article "New site features: photos, articles, and more"
I'm excited to announce the release of some major new features here on Trailspace:
The most obvious and widespread change is that every page on the side is wider, to take better advantage of today's larger screens. This should make the site easier to use, with more information on every screen, less scrolling, and a nicer visual appearance.

I should probably mention a couple photo-related features we're working on that didn't make it into this release: First and foremost will be an easier way to manage photos within an album, including changing the order of those images. We're also working on better integration with your profile photo, so you can select your profile photo from among the images you've already uploaded. The next release will also automatically link from each image you insert in a post to that image's detail page, like so:

Great new look! Thanks for your hard work, I also will try the new photo feature.

My dog Boo Bear, in his prime! We have both lost our prime, but life is great. Thanks again for the new features.

I like the new features. I think we'll see more user pics now.

A quick update to let you all know that the additional features I alluded to above are now live. They include:
- A better interface for managing photos within an album, including changing the order of those images. When editing an album you can now uploade and select photos for that album just like you would for a forum post. You can also drag and drop to change the order of the photos within an album.
- The photo chooser is also better integrated with your profile, so you can select your profile photo from among the images you've already uploaded.
- Each image you insert in a forum post or article comment will automatically link to that image's detail page.
