Did not like how long and hard it was to figure out how to get on here again but I managed somehow. I hate change too and don't particularly like this look but, like most things, we'll get used to it eventually. The only thing I really dislike is how hard it is to get from one forum to another. I was over in Roses and wanted to get here to Antiques and I had to go all the way home and find the garden forums and then find the Antique Roses, which wasn't under Roses but off separate. Haven't tried looking for any of the others yet but I think there really has to be an easier way. I regularly went to all the rose forums on GW and I really miss the row of links at the top of the screen we had there. I did a test post of pictures and you can add more than one photo right from your computer. However, you have to add them one at a time into the post. You can just click on 2 or 3 at once and add them. One at a time is all you can do. It is possible to put text in between them but navigating around to do that isn't very easy either. When you add a photo and then try to add text or another photo enter and using the arrow keys keeps jumping me back to the top of the post instead of going to a line below the added photo. Takes many tries to get it to go down instead of up to the top again. I heard you could add up to 4 photos to one post. Let's see! Three four! Shall we go for five and see what happens? Nope 4 is it. When I tried to click on the photo insert icon it wouldn't open. By the by, when you make a post with photos they come up smaller and when you run your cursor over them they enlarge. Later on that goes away and they just show up regular size in your post. Also when you post there is a small pencil icon that shows up in the upper right hand corner of your post that allows you to make edits to your post.

I got around the log in issue by adopting a new pseudonym (username). It kept rejecting my old one. Sure the old profile and data still survive somewhere. Existing in parallel universes has its perks, I guess. But all this white hurts my eyes. Do we need to go to settings each time we visit here to reduce luminosity?! I feel like I now know what it must be like to go snow blind!!! Maybe just wear a pair a shades.

I have no problem with the format. I didn't "ask nicely" because, well, unlike everyone else, the usefulness of this hosta forum, for me, is NOT derived from photos of unidentified hostas.

I also am having pictures that dont translate well anymore. It is fuzzier and when you click to enlarge you no longer get the whole picture you saved. This used to be my favorite site and my Architect and builders would log into my account to help me but it is hobbled now. It also takes forever to load a picture and navigate. Please go back to the O G! We miss you Houzz!
