Judi-
I agree I hate that new feature of the right side design myself. And I definately noticed when they started doing it that way.
It is actually not that all fire conveniet for me to post pictures at Daves as they only can upload one picture a post. So I only add afew pictures to Daves here and there.
If the new site allows immages to be copy and paste from a hosting site like Photobucket to the body of a message like Gardenweb then I would be over the moon happy with it.
It makes sense to me what you said about links to gardenweb. It promotes gardenweb which is a compeating site to cubits so therefore not a good thing. Since it is only afew days until the launch I guess we can all just wait and see the new site.
