Uploading images - now live across the site

Hi all,

Following a fairly lengthy, yet successful trial in _chat and a few other areas, we have now added the ability to upload images to all topics - hurrah!

All topics are included at the moment, if we see an increase in spamming or use of indecent or obscene images or we are spammed with inappropriate images in sensitive topics, we will review this. We thought it best to open it up across the site initially but do feedback to us if you are concerned in specific areas.

We are hoping that our Night watchers will see inappropriate images that may be posted during the night and will be able to hide them, but we cannot guarantee this. Please do report anything you see and if you feel that the ability to upload images onto threads is being abused, let us know asap.

We are in the process of adding some image guidelines to the main guidelines too.

Please do enjoy, we always like reports of the funny stuff too, so do feel free to alert us to anything that made you .

Justine posted about the app the other day she said:

Yes, you're quite right, the app is a bit limited and certainly not as good as it should be. Apologies for that.

It's been a bit of a development lesson for us, really - we outsourced the development thinking it would be most cost effective and now we're stuck with a huge bill every time we want to make the smallest change to keep it up to date with the site. Consequently we've decided to do two things:

develop an ad-free native talk app for Mumsnet in-house and charge a subscription for it
develop a really fabulous Talk mobile site with some app-like functionality that contains ads but free to use.

We want to release these things together so that there's an excellent, viable, free version available at the same time as the subscription, ad-free version.

So all that means that it's a bit of a project. I'm hopeful that we are only weeks off putting out a beta version of the app for testing with a group of users, though. Obviously we'll keep you posted on that. Let me know if you'd like to get a first go at it and be part of the testing group to put it through it's paces.

@Patchouli

Wow. A couple of weeks ago there was nearly no room for 1000 post pages and now we've got photos?

Tech did something with the cache a couple of weeks ago Patchouli - it's made everything more capacious apparently

That is indeed correct, and nickel that is NOT the most handsome man ever.
