How do you add photos now?

I'm still having difficulties with adding photos. If I add one in the body of the text, the way we all used to do, it shows as the text "{the title of the blog post} photo", without actually showing the photo. The photo I am trying are less than 3 mb. If I try to add any to the gallery area they won't upload, I just get an "upload failed" or equivalent type of message. I also get an "upload failed" when I tried to add a photo (875.2kb in size) to this question!

    I just tried another photo in another post and this time I could actually see the photo when I added it first at the top of the post. But then when I added text and published it is just showing as "{title of the blog post} photo" in text and you can't see the photo. :(

    Mine weren't working for a few days but have since returned to normal, so I'm not much help with an answer! I imagine it's something still not fully resolved after the site issues last week, maybe the City-Cost staff can look into it! I hope it rectifies fully soon!

    I've posted some product reviews and a blog post. The photos display when I'm logged in or out. However, I noticed that the view counts are low to zero. This may be an SEO issue and not an upload one. Can someone confirm that they can see the photos in my latest posts?

Database error

Anyone else getting a database error after you log in? So far, it looks like I can still write posts, but I had trouble logging in and after log in my home page looks different to normal with a "database error" message.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?
