Hi all, testing a new type of thread. This is a "media" thread.

Right now, normal users can't create one - just admins. But, I wanted to see how it "felt" in this test thread. And open to feedback.

Features of this thread type:

- A photo must be included in replies
- Multiple photos displayed in gallery format.
- Threaded comments under each post

Another roller coaster photo from me? Absolutely.

Interesting type of thread. I can see the “show off your Apple Watch” thread or photo of the day threads using this.

I thought it was a group of resting bats.

Then I put my glasses on.

Very strange layout.

Agree. I much prefer the poster's info being presented first and THEN any introductory info and the image and after that, the post followed by whatever comments others have to offer, just as we see in the regular MR forum formatting.

@arn - not only is the formatting odd, but I can't reply to your "ton of support" comment. There doesn't seem to be a way to reply to comments. Only a top-level (?) post in the thread can be Commented on. Could make discussion rather clumsy. Maybe you have that turned off?
