But I can see it being used as a ticker substitute Grin

It was cool on the film thread. Not cool being tickers. Not cool.

Souredstones · 10/09/2013 09:15

Am I missing something? How do you do that?

RustyBear · 10/09/2013 09:19

It's only on the mobile site so far (apart from the special picture topics that arrived a few months ago)

FruOla · 10/09/2013 09:21

It's only on the App and Mobile sites, not the Desktop yet (although there are some topics where we've been able to post pics for quite some time).

I think it's great to post something relevant - but, oh no, it hadn't occurred to me that people are going to start posting tickers Hmm

Birnamwood · 10/09/2013 09:33

No, no, no tickers, pleeeease.

They hurt my eyes and make the page messy.

I'm off if they appear. Off. Ffs

I'm on an iPad mini and can't even read what they say Confused.

WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 10/09/2013 09:44

Oo, such fun!

And the new 'use different nickname' bit.

Tech has been busy

Fakebook · 10/09/2013 09:45

Oh I didn't know its only on the mobile site for now. It's quite good for annotating your posts for more clarity. And cake pictures and car pictures for parking threads Grin.

LazyGaga, the first one is about "Butter Bean" being 26 weeks or something, and the second one says "Love, trust and pixie dust, baby"...

Yes, but how does it work, I can choose a pic, but not use it?

Fakebook · 10/09/2013 09:53

StarBallBunny, just choose the file, write your post and then post.

If you're doing the above already, then your picture file may be too big. (I think!)

OP posts:
NoComet · 10/09/2013 09:58

Got it you can't just post a pic, you have to write something!

LovesBeingOnHoliday · 10/09/2013 09:59

Op yabu

EmpireBiscuit · 10/09/2013 10:01

Ooooh!

StephenFrySaidSo · 10/09/2013 10:02

Does it work on iphone? I cant see anything

EmpireBiscuit · 10/09/2013 10:03

It needs to be a NN that you "own".

Fakebook · 10/09/2013 10:08

Grin StarBallBunny, have fun with it now!

Stephen, yes it should do, I'm on my iPhone. Haven't tried the iPad yet.

GobTheGoblin · 10/09/2013 10:08

Aww fuck no I like this site without pictures. Now I'll have to start trawling through loads of shite that I don't want to see.

StephenFrySaidSo · 10/09/2013 10:10

So what do i do? Are there pictures on this thread? I can see nothing Confused

AmberLeaf · 10/09/2013 10:11

I just tried to post a pic clicking the browse button. Went to camera but it wouldnt let me select a pic. Now the browse button has disappeared.

AmberLeaf · 10/09/2013 10:12

RobotHamster · 10/09/2013 10:14

SummerRain · 10/09/2013 10:16

Anyone else using an android phone having probs?

BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability · 10/09/2013 10:16

Well this is not fair. Blatent favouritism for the mobile users Envy

RobotHamster · 10/09/2013 10:18
