I have been coming to the WP forums for 8 or 9 years for my various blogs. I don’t expect instant answers. I loved the way the community pitched in – in fact, of all forums and major blogs I’ve been in – which is enough – this is the most international.

Now I don’t see any answers from the community, and you write 5 comments in a row, making me feel defensive, and not happy.

I tried to go to the Slack link, whatever that is, but it asks me to SIGN IN again. Sorry, fail.

Your verbiage sounds good. Anything to help, at this point.

I haven’t been in here in months, and yet now I have to go to a special complaint section – Meta Trac? – to write, again, my problem with fonts that are about size 6 or 8? Is this not obvious to everyone?

Maybe I haven’t found it yet, but so far there is not one thing about this revised site that is good or helpful, and I see a lot of real problems – I already pointed out specifics. Not into arguing. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for a response, and your own experience!
Too bad, and NO THANKS to developer.

I’ve been coming here for 10 years. I understand duplicate threads. I didn’t do that. I had 2 threads, one about my actual problem, loss of traffic, and one about this new forum. Two very different things.

Someone closed the other thread instantly, within 30 minutes. I could see the suggestion to go to the theme, so then I went over there to post it – the “duplicate” was after you closed that thread.

Anyway, to look at the big picture: this forum completely sucks now. Why are there 12 different modules to guess about for where these important forums are?????? Why is there no simple link to the forums??

I feel so sorry for newbies – I know how dependent I was with my first blogs – on coming here for help. They won’t find it.

Also: I can’t even see in my profile now if someone has replied to me! That is essential when you are waiting for answers. What, I should click on each threat again? Also: this very form I’m writing in has a font so small I can barely see it. This is not my browser, since I have not seen this anywere else, including my many forums.

This forum is now not even navigable, and has big accessibility issues. Is this what Automattic did?

I’ll do that, thanks. I assume that theme was tested, but maybe it’s just that theme and not a site-wide problem.

Thanks, girlieworks. Now I will wait for SOMEONE ELSE to develop this highly handy widget or change. 🙂

James,

I’m not quite getting this. That requires going to the Posts section, another trip that wasn’t necessary before.

Under Activity it shows only the Edit link now. No good for sharing. So then I have to go to the edit page, or all Posts, as you did. Since most of what I want to share is recent posts, doesn’t it make sense that we would want direct links to them for the recent ones,on our Dashboard? It was like this for years before.

I bet there’s a plugin for this, but did not find it yet.

I tried deleting the original image through the Media manager. It’s gone from the library. Yet, Google is still linking to it.

Then I had to go to my FTP, and I could see it still in my uploads, even though it’s gone from the Media Library! This seems like a flaw/glitch in WordPress.

So in FTP, I deleted the 2 bigger sizes, and kept the thumbnails for 2 cartoons, and tested that in Google. Interestingly, they are so greedy and desperate for images that they first enlarged the 150px wide thumbnail image to 255px in one and 231px in another, under image info, and then they enlarged the whole thing again, extrapolated and blurry, to 500px.

I read once that there is a way to serve Google only thumbnails. Could someone please tell me how to do this?
