I'll write more about it soon, but there is a new image upload system for this site. Assuming you have upload privileges, you can access it here:
/upload2/
Unlike before, this will resize your photos for you. I'm doing this to make it easier, but also to get the full resolution images onto the website (when I resize them I save the originals into a subfolder.) Because screen resolutions are increasing dramatically - on mobile devices and on retina display MacBooks - we will want higher resolution images one day (soon). So now we will start saving them so we can be ready. The downside here is that uploading a 4MB images takes a lot longer.
Unlike before you can now upload multiple photos at once. This is assuming your browser supports it. On the Mac just command-click on as many files as you want in the file browser window instead of just clicking a single file like you used to do. On Windows it's probably a right click. This works from iOS too (where not having to resize before upload makes posting from there possible.)
And finally, unlike before, when the upload is done you get a page showing thumbnails of what has been uploaded, followed by a textarea posting box that is already populated with the code for posting the images you just uploaded. Select the page you want to post to from the drop down menu. Add text or rearrange photo order as you see fit. Then click post and you'll be taken to the page where the post was made.
I'd love feedback on this. It's still rough. No layout or styling has happened yet. But it looks like it is functional.
