Thanks for your reponse and info Gary.  May be TM could stop compressing our photos.  Obviously they weren't before.  Would be good if I could click on your user name and be transported to your TM pages and view any images you have listed but that's not possible now.  I have yet to find an improvement in this new website.  May be one day TM will accept HEIC images.

Can we expect the zoom feature on photos to reappear?  Very disappointing that actual colours now appear drab when they are uploaded on to Trademe.  Red is brown tinged ....  Images on the old website were perfect.  Buyers should be able to see an item with far greater clarity than what is now available.  

There is so much control now.  Ridiculous.

Hugely disappointing that TM has withdrawn the option that allowed us to search for other traders via Community/Stats.  Another backward step in this crazy so called upgrade.
