The Smiley control is back without needing a pulldown. What's weird is that the defaults had the smiley control visible on small and large layouts, but not medium.
At any rate, the lesson is that I can change it.

I've also added a new "Media Gallery" add-on that's supposed to be better somehow.

Ahh - in your user profile you can now create albums and manage your media. It doesn't seem to know about anything uploaded directly to posts.

Major thanks, Gary. Was "reply (with quote)" always like it is now?

The only difference I'm aware of is the fact that the quote now looks "prettier" because they've gone to gret lengths to pull out the QUOTE tags from being seen.

Fuzzy Pots. That's my take-a-way.

I have not really figured out how I can quote one single post multiple times in my reply in order to answer questions question by question. Once one quote is done you can't really copy it. I obviously need to play a bit to figure it out how that "Toggle multi-quote" works now.

Did the size of photos to be posted get reduced? I am not allowed to post one of my larger GoG instrument photos. It's 2724KB, is that over the limit?

Ralf, you can do it a reply by putting your cursor in the quoted region and hitting the big double quote button between media and insert table in the formatting bar. Then you can put newlines in the text and then point to the paragraph and hit the double quote button again for each quote.

Toggling the BB code options also makes it easier to edit quotes and display interleaved responses. If the default could be a user preference, I'd set it.
But the reason I am here is that I can't insert photos as I used to. In the Guitar humor thread I tried to drag a photo into the editing area (nope) and press the image icon (which did nothing). I had to press attach files and then insert. Slight possibility that my new computer is to blame but since the browser and settings are supposed to be unchanged...

No, that does not work correctly as in your above example the Name of the person who made the statement is not shown.
So this Quote button somehow simply created a "quote look alike" which you can fill freeform. Not sure what I could use that for. I would like to see the creator of the original post in each such box.
What I want is this but can't find a way to do it...:
Inserting images works, the above are screenshots I just inserted with ctrl+v.
But also the button works:

Tom, you are already very impressive! I'm still looking at your "old homestead" photos!

Gah - yes. When I upgraded the programming language that Xenforo uses it went back to the default of 2M. I've set that back, so try it now.

Drag and drop seems to work for me, but I can't say if that's a result of fixing Grot's issue.

So, one way to accomplish this is to copy the quote, use the "insert quotes" button, then scroll up and do it again.
Sadly, it does not allow you to copy the same quote twice within the same buffer, nor does it allow you to paste it twice from the same buffer. I think this might be a case of "make it look/work better for the average user at the expense of power users" kind of thing.

I pressed Reply. Something I did since posting earlier turned the BB code off, so maybe the setting is a sticky user preference?
I also note that my editing tool bar is grayed out. How will I ever color code my moderation? I also note that the option to preview my post, before submitting, is now missing. I only get a Post reply button.
Screenshot from before some spelling correction.
