I hate that FR has not been tech updated in so many years.

I disagree. One of the things that has kept me here so long is that I like the way this forum works. FR often gets criticized for its "90s-era" coding, but I see it as lean and fast.

I participate in several other forums and they're all cluttered. You can't see if someone replied to you unless you go back and read through the whole thread.

Go lurk on DU. That place is a mess.

I've long since mastered image posting. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Though I will concede, FR is kind of a hassle from an iPhone or tablet.

I long since mastered it too, but I don’t sit at a desk any more, and a lot of people are like me.

Studies have predicted that by 2017, 87% of all online connections will be with smartphones and/or tablets. This should apply to FR too of course. However, you can be sure that new ways of doing things, such as posting photos will be developed right along with this trend. In other words, the problem (if there is one) will take care of itself.
