Sina, I don't think it helps to answer every single post. I know you started the thread, so you're kind of the 'host' but just let people post their problems and maybe someone can help them. I'm not sure that your standard answer really helps anyone. 

I'll take a look at adding pics to see if there is something wrong that I can identify. I have noticed that most of the new people don't have profile pics so maybe there is something wrong there. I can edit my profile just as I could previously but I haven't tried to add more photos yet. I'll do that later today.

Right now, I have two problems with Ebaby. The first is the CAPTCHA thing that I have written about before. This isn't new to Ebaby, it's been around a long time. It is supposed to get rid of spammers but I am still getting spam letters almost every day. I don't think this CAPTCHA thing works at all for spammers but it does get in the way of contacting new memebers who might need help. If someone is learning English, the CAPTCHA screen is VERY hard to read and it impedes the openness that made Ebaby so nice before.

The second thing is that these forums are very hard to find. Of course the site is trying to make people pay money for Pro memberships and selling ads but the forums are a vital part of Ebaby. Hiding them doesn't help. If Ebaby loses its membership base, then the ads won't get the views and the hits that are needed to support the site. I'm not sure the new design is very well thought out.

Thanks to Sina for starting this topic.

Yes, Sina, I see your point but a Thanks now and then as a reply would do the same. Just an opinion! :)

Ok, the picture upload is totally screwed up. I tried a jpg, a gif as well as a jpeg (same file just renamed) and none would upload. But I did change my profile picture, no problem. I also edited my profile this morning to add my new video on youtube and that worked fine. As you say, there are bugs in the system I think but I'll write something about the profile pics so that people can learn how to upload their pictures to their profile. It makes the place much more alive and fun.
