New content type
We've added a new content type, be really good to get your feedback on this new tool, its not perfect but 100% better then the previous version. Those who created content using the old content image text type will see a slight change to their posts, if your happy with the layout its worth leaving or you may need to create a new post using the new content type?
The new content upload is working ok now, sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for this feedback really useful! I've always had problems with the old content upload but without a development budget for PA was hard to change, Grzesiek's had to do a lot of detective work to strip out the old and bring in the new with minimum disruption, a genius! Will make some tutorials once we have made a few changes and road tested a bit more.

I prefer the new way of adding content. I must admit that I had given up a few times in the past because it shouldn't be hard work to add content and I thought that the previous version was.
I like the way it is possible to 'bank' images from the outset and then 'insert' them into posts as you go without creating a slide show. The more 'bloggy' looking content enables readers to view images that refer to the text as they scroll down. It would be good to add a 'caption' the uploaded images if possible. I know that on scroll over the image title appears, but if refering to an images as say; fig.1 it would be good to have that imag ecaptioned. Obvioulsy it's possible to type the caption in, but it can get messy seperating captions from content in the published doc.
If you want the text under the image, rather than beside it as tends to happen by default, you'll need to hit the return button a few times. This leaves massives gaps in the editor, but none in the published doc. I suppose it's an HTML thing! I'm going to try centering my images next to see if it will force the text under the image without needing to add the returns.
My top tip is the <br> tag in the HTML editor or 'switch to plain text editor' this enables you to make a title without there being a new paragraph gap after it. It will take some searcing for but it's a nice touch.BTW you dont need to add a </br> if this makes sense.
I'm pretty sure that Chris will make some tutorials, but this is fairly instinctive interface so give it a go!

The new content type functionality seems to have disappeared, our developer is looking into it, will let you know when fixed.
