New set up sucks. How to change it back
-
@zeesmuse & @ketchemandfleezem: A little respect, please. I’m afraid that you have broken the code of conduct repeatedly.
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-code-of-conduct?replies=1I think both should spend some of your time (2’30” approx) to read it.

Pardon me, but if you look at my original post – which was NOT rude – the first response was snarky and slap-worthy.
Rather than be helpful, I have not one, but TWO ‘people’ who have been rude, condescending, unhelpful. They, in fact, have broken the code repeatedly. Their own comments are similar to trolling.
Respect is a two-way street. I give it where it is earned. Your little buddies should read the SAME link. If you would read through the threads, you will see that many people have been put off by these two.

As someone who posts videos from my youtube account to a blog here, the “New Post” button is now unusable. I have to say I agree with Zeesmuse on this issue, and I hope that in their development of the site moving forward, WordPress will try and make the New Post button usable once again. I can’t say how it works on mobile because I would never try and write a full blog post or anything else from the computer in my pocket – but I can say that the old system was fast and efficient. That’s all, I just wanted to chime in once. I am sure there is a simple way to use the new system, but the old one was just so dang simple already.

There has been a change to the post editor interface at https://wordpress.com/post/ and Staff are recommending that we bypass the New Dash in favor of posting directly on our sites at Dashboard > Posts > Add New. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/where-did-the-add-media-button-go?replies=2#post-1927520For image uploading please note the Staff response here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-is-there-now-only-small-pictures-in-the-post-can-i-get-them-big-again?replies=3#post-1927594
There will be further new iterations of the post editor at https://wordpress.com/post/ and that is why the advice is to go to Dashboard > Post > Add New and use the full post editor there.

This thread is pretty well gone off the rails. I’m closing it. Feel free to make a new thread with any questions regarding the new post editor.
