Any word on making the site more mobile friendly? It seems that Tapatalk support could be added relatively easy.

What does it mean to be "mobile friendly" these days?
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Do all {img}pic.jpg{/img} now get automatically reduced?

This is a good idea for an easier read without having to do the scroll Ping Pong affect. Is this a recent fix? I had a Spoiler large pic that is now reduced in my Metroid M Review. I also noticed Direct Attachment JPG pic files still display full sized but get reduced if inserted inside a Spoiler Show Button. It should be the reverse, reduced up front and allow a full sized image inside a Spoiler Show Button.

Maybe allow the Spoiler Show button to display Images at full sized? A great tool to display a large detailed pic. The large pic can remain hidden so a post can be easily read, then clicked at a readers discretion.

For example, allow the Show Button to display a full sized pic to see the details in this PCB.

Click the link to see the full detailed size, this could be in the Show Button, right at the post.

The image shows fill size for me when I open up the spoiler using the Sulbsilver layout.

I'd love for some kind of "location" information to be required. There are a ton of sales threads that don't indicate when someone is located somewhere in the Baltics.

There's an option for it, and there's also the option to not trade or to ask someone. Some people value their anonymity...

I'm guilty of not giving my location right off the bat but I agree that it would be helpful to at least state whether or not you're in located in the US and whether or not you're willing to ship internationally.

We have suggested as much in sticky threads in that section

I don't think it should be required exactly, but it certainly would be helpful if people would at least indicate their country or continental region of the world if it isn't in the US. Not to be egotistical, but most of us are in the US and tend to assume others are too without the indication of a location or language other than English (without extra Us)to guide that assumption. Just as one would assume a forum full of those speaking French was in France or Canada.

@ Hobie - You are right! The full image only works in Subsilver 2 Layout.

Apologies for the large image, go to Subsilver 2 Layout to see this.

Note how the Large image gives a Ping Pong read to a post in Subsilver. I temporarily switched to Subsilver and the image stays Full under the Spoiler button in my previous Reply. In this Reply you can see the image also stays full even when not under a Spoiler Show Button. Since the majority of visitors and members use the Default Layout and cannot see a full image for a detailed inspection, maybe this needs looked at?

Any image NOT under the Spoiler Show button should be reduced for any easier to read post. However, leave the image full under the Spoiler Show Button to allow for detailed large pics.

Large images are useful for close inspection such as a PCB trace, best to hide this under a Spoiler Show Button.
