    You'll have to excuse that, I'm still "rearranging the furniture" so to speak. ;)

    I think there also might be a glitch where people can post on other peoples' for sale ads and such...

    Thanks for mentioning that, I'll have to check the permissions on those.

    More like a bandaid. It disables anyone from being able to reply. The way I wanted to have it was so that the OP could reply. I think I have a better fix than that though, it might be possible to allow OP to edit posts in the buy/sell/trade section beyond the 24 hours we have set for the rest of the forum.

    Maybe I never noticed them before, but what are "trophy points"?

    BTW, so far I really like the new format. Thanks for all the work.

    Trophy points are a new thing. Kind of like in grade school when a teacher put a gold star on your paper for doing a good job.... ;) lol It's default to the software, we can play around with it to make it more fun maybe.

    BTW, search isn't going to be of much use until I rebuild the search index. Just it takes hours to do that and should be run overnight (when the site is less busy). I'll probably do it over the weekend. Until then it might be difficult to impossible to find threads/posts you want.

    Does that include threads that I have started? I tried doing a search of "threads started by non_cents" on my profile and it came up with no results.

    Looks good so far, I know this must be a ton of work!

    Questions: Will "likes" transfer over, or are we starting over? Will "Albums" transfer over at some point?

    Yea, that won't work until I do the rebuild search index. I'm going to see if I can get it done tonight.

    Maybe I am missing it, but is there no way to upload pictures from my computer?

    Also, I used to view threads from latest post to the earliest. I see no way to set that now.

    Are threads started (used to be part of your profile) to be included when the index has been rebuilt?

    You can upload pics using the "upload a file" button.

    I don't have an answer on the viewing threads from latest to earliest question yet.

    Yes, when the search index is rebuilt you'll be able to search threads you've started (or anyone else has started).

    OOPS, did not even look at the bottom.
    Oh, well.
    Not quite what I asked. There used to be a link on everyone's profile "latest threads started" (or similar wording). Will that return?

    Are you still working on pictures? I can't find my albums and all the pictures in my posts prior to last Friday at 10pm Easter are broken.

    What is the correct way now of posting pictures? I was putting them into an album first and then linking to the album picture using img tags to get them to show up full sized in the post without having to click on a tiny thumbnail to pull up the picture. That way I can reuse a picture without having to upload it again.

    For example, this is a picture from my album in a different thread. I just right clicked on it to get the picture url and posted it here with img tags. One upload, multiple posts:

    [​IMG]

    Without access to the albums that method doesn't work now. Do I have to upload every time I post a picture now?

    It's not gone, just not where you might expect to find it. Go in someone's profile page, click on the 'Postings' tab, and scroll down to find the "Find all threads by...." link. Right now, you'll only get results showing from this afternoon. After I rebuild the index it will all show up.

    By the way, if you upload files too large, it automatically resizes them to the maximum size, and then they appear as thumbnails. Then all one has to do is click on the thumbnail to see the coin. All of my files are too big...lol :)
