Test posting on mobile.

I see a car n'stuff!

How's the mobile experience?

1. Creating an account was pretty easy.
2. I chose the wrong image icon until I realized I had to scroll over all the way to the right for the "Upload from File" icon.
3. Got a reply!
4. Homepage layout is simple - no complaints for that.
5. Don't think I like that thumbnails on homepage push author name to the right, but this layout may be in progress.
6. Gonna have to read up on how to make a thumbnail of the image in my post appear on homepage. UPDATE figured that out.
7. Editing posts is easy. Is there a time limit?
8. I really like the "progress bar" at the bottom giving you an idea of how many of the replies you have left to read & not having to click for more replies.

UPDATE 2
Touching the thumbnail of a post takes me to the author, not the post. As if the thumbnail is replacing the author's avatar. Intentional?
I guess we're supposed to select the post's title to go to the post?

Hmmm, never noticed that....maybe post it to the 'MASTER FEEDBACK THREAD' and we'll see what we can do!

Jminer's out looking at rental places at the moment, but when he gets back I'm hoping he can make me a mod so I can look into pinning the MASTER FEEDBACK THREAD and the 'Capability Test Post' to top to help people out.

Alright, will do.

How did you get your image to show up in the post? By that, I mean, out front before you clicked on the link?

Thumbnails are not automatic in NodeBB as they are on Kinja. In Kinja the first image in a post (or only image in a post) gets auto set as the thumbnail on the main page.

In NodeBB, the thumbnail is set manually (which is annoying, but also nice as you can set whichever one you want)....to do so, in a new Thread, click the button!
