    @justpi
    fair do’s chief, i guess i am being a bit frustrated here at the lack of input from actual staff, which is annoying to say the least. there is no way they are not aware of the problems.

    i am not skilled in code writing etc, and i use wordpress because i don’t need to know that stuff. when it comes to having to alter things several times in a post, it gets … shall we say tiring? no, its taking the piss.

    anyways, this post has gone on long enough i fear, i dont think i will comment again until i see a wordpress staff member commenting. thats not a dig at anyone trying to help, but the notifications are clogging my inbox :D
    thanks to everyone who has tried to help.

    The problem with this thread, Robin, is that you posted about a very specific issue (cropping) but gave the thread a very general title; so other users joined in and posted about issues that do fall under the title although totally irrelevant to your original complaint. I think you’re right in kissing this thread goodbye, and I suggest you start a new one, with the right title.

    Between last night and tonight, WordPress fixed a lot of things. The upload is now working again without having to do all sorts of workarounds. I also just discovered that it is now possible to insert multiple pictures into the post without using the gallery or slideshow command. Pretty cool.

    @twelveby12,
    I’ll refer you to this post in this post:

    … as I’ve never relied on WP for image surgery.

    Neither have I relied on wp.com to crop my photos because this platform does not do image editing very well. You might want to explore that issue if you are concerned about image quality.

    None the less it is a feature you have used, and miss in this new version. If that is what you are most concerned about , then justpi is right to say “start a new topic with a better title.” (a more relevant title)

    …in this case (unlike some other cases) it’s not true that staff don’t listen and don’t bother to reply; they do – and they thank people for bringing problems to WP’s attention.

    I’d suggest posting your specific needs in the “Ideas” forum.

    BTW, I am not staff. Only a fellow blogger who volunteers to help with questions, and as a moderator to keep the forum useful.
