Lots of new features just released:

- new inline post replies - reply directly under the last post

- new 'rich text editor' - tired of not seeing smilies as smilies? Choose the rich text editor for 'what you see is what you get'

- new image uploader - you can now upload lots of piccies with multi-select. Drag & Drop also supported for most browsers. No more hunting/pecking, picking one at a time!

- easy image picker - got one or more old piccies you want to repost? Now you can easily find them.

- upgraded profiles - find your recent posts, review Buy & Sell history of others when looking to transact with someone.

- a new video gallery - featuring all your uploaded videos, and videos of others. Currently kicked off with YouTube only, Vimeo to come.

- faster browsing of photos - rather than going to a fresh page each time, you can browse photos in a 'popup' with next/previous - easy peasy.

- enhanced mobile support - tweaked for mobiles so that posting is easier, and avatars dropped so that topics display faster, and use less bandwidth (=faster), and less traffic from your precious mobile data plan!

Is great fun building it for y'all, and hope you enjoy the new features too...

Enjoy .. Laurie

The..."new image uploader - you can now upload lots of piccies with multi-select. Drag & Drop also supported for most browsers. No more hunting/pecking, picking one at a time!"
sounds like a great technological advance

It is!! (from what it was!).

The previous uploader was quite embarrassing, and I appreciate DJ's good patience & persistance with it.

Seabreeze was originally created in 1997, when the internet & technologies available were in their infancy. Just like mature adults, the site has some tech "baggage" that I'm pleased to finally be ejecting!

Onwards & upwards..

Even I found it vaguely traumatic when you would upload 1 pic & then maybe another & then while you were trying to upload another it all turned to custard

Just to clarify .. if you visit the Gallery, and choose "Upload Pics", you'll get the Multi Edit page, but if you use the link below enter a new post, which says "Add an image to my message" and upload via the popup, you shouldn't get the 'multi-edit' page.

Can you confirm if you're uploading image while writing a post, or uploading via the gallery?

Thanks for the info .. could I ask, the pics you're uploading: have you saved the to your desktop & then selected/drag dropped them onto the upload?

Or .. are you drag/dropping directly from the facebook page/dropbox directly onto the seabreeze upload screen? (or ... ?

thanks kneelo .. can you let me know what your machine/browser is .. I can set it up here to try & reproduce

Machine: Windows or Mac
OS: XP, Vista, OSX, Win7, Win8
Browser: Safari, IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, ... ?
Browser version: IE 7/8/9 (need to look in about box)

Are you using any mapped or network drives to select from (i.e. anything other than C:, D:, or E:.. such as X:, M:, \serverxyz)

.. and that will do .. if you'd prefer to do this offline, email me laurie ..at .. seabreeze.com.au

Cheers for your help on this..
