I love Lumberjocks and the community it represents. I am NOT a fan of the cumbersome interface. Compared to other social media websites (like facebook) Lumberjocks is a dinosaur. Just dealing with photos and videos is unnecessarily difficult. I shouldn't have to upload a separate app (like photobucket) or deal with html scripting to handle media that I want to post. I should be able to update things like "My Shop", but I can't. I think we would have a much more robust participation if the hosts of this website would bring it in line with current technology.
Outdated website

You and I Both! He should also be defending his TECHNICAL STATEMENTS
His initial statements are also NOT Correct, i.e. the way HE says he has to perform various procedures on here.
A.G. Says it's a matter of Personal Choice " I think they call it personal choice. You like Chev, I like Ford. What to defend?"
It has nothing to do with Personal Choice. Part of His initial statement is " I am NOT a fan of the cumbersome interface. Compared to other social media websites (like facebook) Lumberjocks is a dinosaur. Just dealing with photos and videos is unnecessarily difficult. He carries on with the Technical Problems that DON'T Exist!
Facebook is better than Lumberjocks? Facebook is nothing but a bunch of people Yakking at each other with very little purpose in it. You can also talk to a WALL and everyone acts like that's normal thing to do?? ...LOL…
Enough said. Now WE wait and see what HE Has To Say! (If Anything.)

We are all wired different. What is cumbersome for one may not be for others and vice versa. I don't see he owns anybody anything.
Love the site, and love the way the forum is laid out. Sure, it's old-school, but it's also simple, and easy to navigate. This is the premium forum for all facets of woodworking, IMO…..
The only thing that I would change is a phone-app so that I can surf the forums while not in front of my computer….

Sorry, but I agree that aspects of this format are not user-friendly. Many seem able to post pics, but in my experience it's not so easy. Trust me, none of you are worse for not being able to see my projects but, damnit, I've not mastered the skill in the years that I've been on. It frustrates me because in other forums I post like mad. No easy button here? S'ok, but it contributes to my inconsistent presence. You may not care, but owners who earn their money by selling ad space to our eyeballs should be thinking about comments like those from the OP. A complaint is a gift.

"fuigb", I'm curious as to what you are doing when you are trying to post pics.
One method I use is to: take the picture with my iphone, email it to my myself so it comes in on my Mac Mini, drag and drop the picture from the email onto my desktop, open the picture with Preview, save it so it holds the correct orientation when I post it, then click on the "img" button, select the picture, add it, then hit "post this reply" button.
Not sure if I could simply post a pic from the iphone. Someone else may know the answer to that.

Every picture I have posted here has come off my hard drive, or a detached drive at home. After the P Bucket debacle I swore never to use one of that type of site again. I don't Facebook, tweet or the like, but I can drop a pic in here in less than 30 seconds. "IF" I know where it is.
I came here from another well known site. They changed owners, and made a severe change of the platform, and it stinks like rotted fish. I do know people who "facebook" and tweet, and a lot of them feel that posting images there is difficult. I think attitude has a lot to do with that. If you want it to bother you, it probably will.
