Issues with the new community site

Here are some issues with the new community site:

Very frequent Error 401 -- sometimes it's impossible to log on at all.  Clearing cache, history, and cookies, flushing the DNS,  using different browsers, using incognito browsing, and other strategies don't fix the issue. 

Where did our images go? It used to be that graphics we had used were stored in our account and could be reused. 

Too many uploaded images error message --  GabeU reported this one. 

The missing ribbon at the top -- hopefully this will return in a couple of months. 

The cookies popup --  this is very annoying as it pops up on every page, every time.  

System logs out too quickly.  Annoying having to login again and again. Could this be extended?

      Can you elaborate on "preview posts or PMs"? And try uploading images now. Still trying to locate user galleries.

        Before the update, you were able to click a "Preview" button which showed how the post would look once posted.  I think the button was located at the top of the message.   You could toggle between Preview and Edit.  That hasn't been available since the update.  I found the preview option very helpful. 

        I just realised that the HTML button is gone too, so I wouldn't be able to edit the HTML. That was very helpful sometimes. 

        GabeUis the one with image issues.

    It would be nice if the section cards on the main community site showed whether there are new messages in that section.  Before we could see that, and hovering over that information showed a time stamp. 

    Edited to say I can edit now! 🥳
