Default New format changes?

Lately, CFOT has changed it's display. First, posts that respond to a thread that has a picture, most times no longer show the picture, just the address of the picture. I'm sure this is to save your hard drive space. Yesterday, I noticed changes on the page being viewed. Today I noticed there was no way to increase or decrease the size of the font of a reply messaage copied from another source and posted in a CFOT thread. Also on the "Quick Reply" screen the taskbar (may be the incorrect name for it) at the top of the reply screen has changed and has different options for commands affecting the post - like underlining, etc. Also, at the bottom of Reply screen there is a "Current Attachment" box that shows "valid file extensions.

Is this a test of proposed changes, or a new change that is permanent? Is it ok to post this in CFOT to get replies from others?

Maybe they are creating a format that will weed out some users and lower traffic. It's starting to work.

This is not a test of proposed changes. This is the next generation format. Pictures were not removed to save hard drive space. That sounds like a different issue where you might want to post in the following link and provide a specific example so that we can investigate:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...te-change.html

The ability to change text size is still there, but it is no longer a dedicated button. You must use the size code tag to change the text size. Such as [size=3]Size 3[/size]

It got here because this is the Help section where people come to complain about get help with using the forums.

Again, I'd suggest using the link provided above if you have a technical issue. We can't efficiently monitor and update multiple threads regarding the same topic.

Thanks.
