New RFF Under Construction - take a look

Is there still a place for my personal buyer/seller feedback? I spent a long time building that up and developing a good reputation for future purchases/sales. Hoping this is still a feature somewhere and if anyone can point me to it, please do! Thanks in advance

Oh, and I mean the user specific feedback page, not the forum thread with member feedback.
 
I can't find old threads. I was looking for the Hasselblad one I started a few years ago. I update it now and then, especially when I find another mistake I can make with that machine. Unfortunately this morning I reckon I've lost two or three shots accidentally activating the T for timed exposure which ought not to work with a cable release in, I'm hoping....
 
I’ve been critical, earlier, about the overall look and usefulness of the “changes”, and all the things that were personally in my way are gone now, but I just noticed one change which seems a solid and useful functional improvement over the last site. Maybe this has already been noted, but the “Filter” next to the page count at the top of each thread offers many options which can make life easier if you’re trying to quickly find something. So, thanks for that.
 
When I try to post images to threads the images are displayed small rather than full size in the thread (full size is 1024 pixels on the long side). How do I insert an image in a thread at native 1024 pixel size? See posts #3791, #3792 and #3793 in this thread.

Here is the box I'm prompted to use to upload a photo from the Gallery - as you can see I've set it to upload Full Size, but that's not what happens:

How did you? There used to be a "user control panel" (CP). I thought I might find my avatar there, but I don't see the CP. I feel like whoever it was that lost his shadow. Peter Pan, I think.

Click on "My Profile" and then change your avatar on the top left in the "User Profile" under "Edit Avatar".
 
First I’ve used the new RFF, and I like the look. I like black text on white background. I like the page arrangement.

I use an iPad in portrait a lot, and I also like the RFF display on iPhone now. I flip iPad to landscape for jumping to forums from the list. Swiping works fine. I never use a laptop for RFF, so no opinion.

I had a tough time logging-in until I pre-checked Remember Me, and then login worked.

*Tried edit function to see how. Fine.

The “Notifications” box: is that only for alerting you that someone posted to a thread you subscribed to? And, most importantly, how can I turn it off, how to set it to not send me notifications?
I’ve got 84 subscribed threads and the only reason I subscribe to them is so that I can find obscure ones quickly if I want to post a photo into one of them. If someone has just posted to one of them, nobody needs a notification to look at that thread because that thread will be front and center on the landing page anyway. The constantly increasing number, in red, in that box is an insistent nag that’s never satisfied. You’ve got to open the box, dismiss them all one by one to get rid of the “red dot”, and as soon as you turn around it’s back again. It’s a game of Whack-a-Mole that you are not allowed to stop playing, if there’s no way to turn off notifications.
I’m assuming there must be a way to turn them off, but I can’t find it. Help please?
 
But……what’s the difference between these two: “quotes you in a post” and “replies to your discussion”, in terms of what you are going to be notified about?
To be more clear, I should say I know what “quotes you in a post” means, but don’t understand the difference between “replies to your discussion” and “comments on your discussion”. What’s the difference between a comment and a reply?
Do I want to be notified about a comment, but not a reply, or a reply and not a comment, or both a reply and a comment?
 
Something I've noticed is that when you click on a thread it'll take you to the very first post of that thread. I then have to click on Filter to choose Today to get to the last post or latest post.
It would be nice to have a [Last] choice in the Page _ of _ selector.

Check on the tiny blue box at the far right with the double arrow heads, under the image of the last person who posted, and it takes you to the last post on that thread.
 
I'm still having a problem with "Notifications". I have turned off, unchecked every box, every single preference for things to get notifications for, and saved that, so I should not be getting any notifications, and am still getting a notification every time anyone posts to any of the 80+ threads I am subscribed to.
So, the preferences for notifications seems to not having any effect, at least not on either my iOS device, or desktop computer.
 
The front page is loading much more slowly than a few days ago- this might be tied to changes made to display more gallery pictures. I remember that the "Random selected" caused problems years ago, had to be modified to essentially cache the images and not select everything as the page was loading.
