I’m not having much luck with this new layout. Today I’ve written a post and added pics. Every pic had a grey line across it but I thought that would be ok, but when I pressed create thread it says I must provide a message, and won’t go any further. I would upload a screen shot but it won’t let me because of the above issue.

OK Now on my other laptop (also Windows 10 and Firefox) the side menu overlays on top of the main window so I can't read the left side of it

This and @miseralz is proving hard to diagnose because every browser and device I've got here and tried it on as worked fine.
The grey bar across is the progress bar (it gradually goes blue as an image uploads and then disappears). If it is staying grey then it seems it isn't starting the upload. The code for the upload is the same as the old code, it is initiated in a different way, but that code is the same for everyone so it should either work, or not, for everyone.
Apologies if you've told me already, but browser and device from both of you would be useful. If I can repeat the issue I can solve it, the problem with this one is repeating the issue.

Desktop site but on mobile, Samsung S20FE and Firefox. Picture uploading has always been hit or miss, and I'd usually highlight and copy all my text before uploading pics as I'd often have to refresh it a few times before it played ball.

Hi Hotwire. I’m using an iPhone with what ever browser it comes with. I updated my thread fine yesterday after I rewrote it without the quote. It does also say “switch editor” next to the create thread button, but that doesn’t appear to do anything

A little glitch I have come across this morning, I posted a comment, then thought I wanted to add a bit more, so went to editor and the edit box was blank, it dosent seem to retain your post you want to edit, so I had to rewrite it.

Edit works fine for me, can see see/edit the existing text and switch to the plain text editor Chrome on Android
EDIT just tried what you did, no problems 👍

not sure why it happened, I tried twice, but there was an external link attached to the post.

HoTWire" Still can't edit my own posts ... Laptop 1920x1080, win 11 pro 22H2, Firefox ... " ...and what does /is "switch editor" supposed to do ? HoTWire here... seems I can edit the post, so it isn't the content of the post that is the issue. I wonder if there is an error in the code before the edit box is populated, which stops it being populated, so the error is elsewhere. Although I'm doing this in Chrome... so let me check in Firefox

Thanks for the updates v8ian westbay jonsey and misteralz ... seems the post edit is acting up. The "Switch Editor" thing should move between the text only BBCode version, and the full fat new editor (it starts in the new editor state). Let me get to the bottom of the editing issues, that'll likely be the only thing I manage today as I've got a very full day at the day job and suspect I'll need some time away from screen at lunch.

westbay ... it is a Firefox based issue, now I can repeat it I can resolve it .. I wonder also if maybe the image upload failing is related (I hope it is as that will make it easier to fix )

I normally use Firefox for all browsing but I switched to Chrome for browsing Retro Rides last year after some problems with FF on here ( can't remember what). I feel that sadly Firefox has gone downhill in the last couple of years with some very unpopular changes.
For info: I just tried editing using Brave, Firefox, Chrome, DuckDuckgo and Edge Canary, all on Android and Firefox was the only one that didn't work.
