I noticed after the move to the new forum my pictures weren't showing up correctly. If your issues were like mine here is how to fix it...

In my case most of my pics now showed up as links like below:

Just edit your post, remove the "width=225 height=300" and re-save post

Now you should have working pictures and be able to actually see them now as the new forum allows bigger pics!!! ;)

Also of note there is a 15 pic MAX per post limit that I ran into

In some ways, that reformatting was a better experience. The images in signatures, profiles, and posts seem to be so large in some instances that I cannot see the posts. The "what's new" link expands profile pictures as large as they were updated so it covers the whole post. This could be fixed fairly easily with PageSpeed or similar module. I see that you're hosting on Apache with Bluehost in Provo, UT. You could likely enable the free CloudFlare update and take advantage of a few CDN pops to improve latency and caching. If you install PageSpeed, you'll also rescale some images to appropriate sizes for display, and down-sample some of the larger ones for better speed / bandwidth usage. Just some thoughts. :)
 
or if maybe someone could explain it as if i were in preschool that would be cool too. my photos are shown as a link but i don't see how i can remove what he is talking about. does this have to be done for each individual post??
 
FormulaTenn when I am by a computer I am going to do a FBF Cheat Sheet and sticky it so people can just read that of quickly of how to use the functions easily.

If anyone has more questions we can build the forum function cheat sheet as we go.
 
Thanks Tom for working on cheat sheet. That will be a great help

The huge avatar issue is being looked at. This new software has a TON of features, rules, permissions, image settings etc... Will take a while for the Mods and I to get our arms wrapped around it.

Please keep the issues and suggetions (wish list)coming. If it makes sense and can be changed easily it will be done in short time. If it's not that easy or needs code or research it may take a while.
