Will the harvest and smoke report get sorted so it doesn't mix all the pictures up. As soon as you add pictures into the smoke report it then slots them inbetween pictures from harvest report. Another thing that would be good is being able to do a diary on the fly and it not show what you have done for each week until you get to the end of the week and then publish it so people can see that week. If that makes any sense.

I can only agree with photo nonsense in harvest week after smoke report. Those people i folow, i always review last week, when new is out, just for comparison and seeing is any new , but again, interesting idea.

@m0use, I just tried the smoke report out on my latest diary today to see what's fixed but there wasn't even a 'Smoke Report' option in the 'new week' menu. I was able to select 'edit smoke Report' using the settings button on mobile in the top right, and from there I uploaded pictures. This time they did not get mixed in with the harvest week photos, which was a pleasant surprise. BUT, I cannot reorder the smoke report photos no matter what I do. 2 steps forward, 1 step back, eh?

Most important stuff got fixed for me. Sadly those few problems still stand out to me. - if more then one one person is liking my post, i can't see who the others are if they also liked it. in the past i could hover over the "+1" "+2" and so on it would show me a list of all people who liked it then, this does not work anymore since the update. - on the diary it shows the lights multiple times, instead like in the past once with a "x2" if run the same light two times. so i use 2x xs1500 and it shows four times for me because of 2x flowering and 2x veg, instead of 2 times with a "x2" mark besides it. - defoliation and scrog shows multiple times, for example defoliation in week 6 and 9 but then there is another defoliation entry just for week 10, so two times defoliation instead of just one with week 6. 9 and 10 i also wonder, when clicking on shorts (which i will never ever use like on any other side) i get a dark mode, which is really awesome. but as soon as i change to another category i will get the white mode again and i can't seem to find an option to change it. is there a way to use the dark mode everywhere on the site? thanks for fixing stuff, it was really bad but at least now it's usable again.

@AsNoriu, found the issue with my text as soon as it gets to a part I use the = and less then symbol or = and greater then symbol it then screws it up. It won't even let me post it in the comments. Also I like using emoji for certain thing like water, calendar, scissors and they don't show up anymore.

The other problem that needs fixing asap is the inability to drag and drop pictures in the diary weeks. Some of my diaries have pictures of nutrients in-between each day of pictures and it just looks messy. You used to be able to rearrange the pictures but now you can't. Please fix this!!!

@@GreenThumbedGrower, Thank you for your comment Regarding photo sorting. if you are using a mobile device. Try holding your finger on the photo and then dragging it up or down. You will understand when you can start dragging - a green highlight will appear. On the desktop, sorting works as usual. If this doesnโ€™t work for you, write to us in the contact form with a screenshot of the screen, we will try to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Something is wrong again, you click on a diary of a follower in the left panel, it shows that you clicked it and will remove the number beside the name. But if you refresh the site the number is back and it looks like you never watched the diary. So you don't know which of the new diaries you already watched. It was working fine for a week now :( /edit Its working again, thank you for the fast fix.

i have diary in bookmarks and cant throw it out from list, despite me not following it anymore likes were reseted, i can like things i liked before you can influence view count when you are logged in, previously owner of diary could not influence view count PLEASE, just PLEASE, let people view photos in new tab, now it goes straight to download. when you answer questions or just go through peoples diaries you need to view photos in max res, now you just spam my hdd or phone galery many were sorted from Mouse list, still huge work upfront all the best in sorting them !!! a day ago report form was not loading, havent checked today when creating new diary week entry i needed to reedit it few times, once photos were lost, later in 3 cases i needed to delete/edit my nute list, changes were not holding, just going to last weeks list you can like your own answers in question section, that doesnt add to total like count, but still stupid ;) Some text is gone if you go through and edit your mistakes before posting. A second ago i had to reedit 3 times for that phrase to be as i entered....

Since yesterday i can't click on any diary any more. The Profile will load but diaries not, i am unable to click on anything then, nothing will happen. Like its loading something or so, when i try to click too much chrome or firefox will tell me i should have to wait or leave the site, like it's crashed. Only happening on diaries, the rest of the site including profiles will work. Doesn't matter which browser and same is happening on the phone. Its like the browser would crash. I see other people can update their diaries or even like comments on profiles, but for me it doesn't work anymore. Why is that and what can i do?

@GrowDiaries, drag is possible, i just found out, but clumsy, icons too big, not fun on mobile ... plus it has to highlight, but sometimes browser thinks that you use left mouse click, instead of activating photo. And please, PLEASE !!!!!!!! Stop all question deletion, diary hides if those questions are in GOTM event. So many trolls. I had 3 points few days ago, now 2, saw other people lost points too. Last january i was trolled out from win in same manner. I dont care about prizes generally, but it really annoying when you think that you achieved, but then troll reality hits. Btw a person whom many suspect for having not one acc and trolling that event has VERY SIMILAR nickname as person you answered. Either stop prizes , either sort it. Thats your worst and very dirty spot. All the Best !
