Not sure if it's just me, but now upvotes are blue and down votes orange in both the button color and the vote count color after voting. Seems backwards? I'm used to orange being upvotes and blue being down.
Oh, you must have missed the whole conversation here: https://lemmy.world/post/12922184
There was a whole thing about it. This is how Lemmy itself does it, so Sync changed to match.
Edit to add: 
Oh that's weird (that Lemmy is reversed I mean). I guess I can just customize them back so no big deal. I kept getting confused thinking I accidentally downvoted stuff.
That's fair, and why there's the option included to change the colors back ๐
Took me a min to get used to, since I don't really use the web ui much, but I like the colors and it makes more sense to me to follow the colors that actually match the rest of this platform instead of that other one.
I agree that consistency is good, so the change is probably for the better. For me though, the old way makes more sense when considering the nature of the platform: orange for "hot" and blue for "cold". Plays better into the sorting algorithm of the frontpage for me.
Swipe left on comment/post to upvote still the old orange colour. Otherwise, looking great!
Fixed for the next release.
Great point, it would be ideal if the swipe animation color matches whatever you pick in the settings.
When previewing the post or comment being made, pictures that are in the portrait style aspect ratio do not show up in the preview.
Here's an example:
Landscape
Portrait
Landscape
Result
There's also an issue with uploading pictures. All 3 of the pictures on the above example failed to upload unless I cropped them. Using the crop tool and sizing it to be the original aspect ratio/size does seem to bypass the issues.
Cropped example
That need for cropping issue was in Sync for Reddit too.
Just confirming that all 3 pictures also display correctly for me:
If I understood it correctly, it's when previewing the comment/post, not when viewing an already made comment/post.
Yeah, my bad, you are correct. Just tested with the preview and portrait pictures indeed do not show.
All of your pictures loaded and looked fine for me.
And uploading also works fine for me. It's probably an issue with your instance or file format? Are your pictures JPEG, or maybe some other format such as HEIC? (By cropping, it's probably converted to jpeg regardless of what the original format was)
Click their profile and view their comments. Only the horizontal ones will appear.
Also, uploading works fine for me without cropping.

LJ is coming back and is absolutely crushing it with these updates. Thank you, sir. (ใท_ _)ใท
Do you think you'd be able to add a means of embedding images in a comment, please? We're pretty close with the link feature, but it just needs an exclamation mark for it to embed.
Thank you!
Isn't that what this: 
is already?
So it's just an exclamation point, open and close square brackets, then a URL in regular brackets and Lemmy handles the rest? That sounds like it should be easy enough to implement, similar to the "Insert Link" button.
Ah, I see - since I only really upload and don't link images, I didn't realize it didn't work the same way. Or that the "insert link" didn't handle it. Somehow this is the post that cleared up my understanding. Thanks! ๐
I suppose you could just use insert link and all it'd require is an exclamation point edited in at the front, but a dedicated button would be nice for those that didn't know that was the formatting. I didn't know myself until this thread.
I'm glad I did though, now it'll be easier to add images to my comments!
What do you mean sorry? Sync already adds the !
Sorry I must be missing it, then. How can I do that if I'm wanting to use an image link, without uploading one? Thanks!
Ah sorry not currently then
https://nom.mom/comment/1802749 going from this comment, it looks like it should be a fairly simple addition, similar to the Insert Link button when writing a comment.
Yup I just added support for the next release.
Awesome! Thank you for all the hard work!
In Sync Ultra previews, when no image is available, the old colors are still shown:
Oooh good spot cheers
Given we already have an app icon chooser implemented, could we get an 'old' icon that uses red/blue for up/down? You pretty much just have to rotate the existing icon 180
Love the new logo, but especially LOVE the option to change upvote and downvote colors!
