BRIAN H-- new forum request - InspectionNews

Brian,

One of the user 'unfriendly' items with this board is the inability to review thumbnail photos when in the reply mode.

Sometimes, when formulating a response, it is necessary to go back and review a photo for a second or third time. Some posts have multiple photos that need to be reviewed as the response is being written.

Is there anyway to not add (because of bandwidth required) but to "view only" the .jpg/ thumbnails while 'replying'?

Probably a lot to ask... but this is just something that would help (alot).

Rich

If adding the thumbnails is not to big of a problem, adding them as a link should be easy at that time.

If adding thumbnails is not possible, even just a clickable link to the photo would help greatly.

If you could remove "For Home, Commercial & Environmental Inspectors" from the Technical and Non-Technical topics, it would reduce the 'clutter' on the forum and make it 'simpler' to view (without all that repetition).

Those are not needed anyway.

Sorry for the late reply.

One thing you can do is hold your "shift" key down while clicking the "reply" button. This will open the reply in a new window and allow you to view the thumbnails and/or open the photos in the original post.

Dang!

How about that! It works too.

(Now, if I can only remember to do that.

)

Now ... how about ..
