I cannot say that I hate them. However, as posted elsewhere, these recent changes make me do things differently than before. And, it did take some additional changes to the site and some new techniques for me to learn.
As for photos, I have always and only uploaded them from my computer; never from any other device.

PS) Now, let's see if I can upload a photo: Voila, there it is; same as always.
I have only uploaded photos from my PC and for the last 4 years has work flawlessly but after this change as soon as I try to upload I get a widow that says it cant.

OK, let's clear this up. What is the max files size and max dimensions of the photo on a PC that will successfully upload?
On my computer this photo is 703kb and 2160 x 1926 pixels. On the SL web site it is 73.1 kb and 673 x 600 pixels.
Why does it show up as a link instead of a thumbnail?
Also, if you upload a photo using the toolbar icon, then delete it, stays in the message as an attached thumbnail.

I edited your post & removed the attachment & it worked as it should, did you click remove when you clicked manage attachments?
What happens is if you upload a photo using the toolbar icon, and right click on it in the edit window to delete it, and ignore the manage attachments option, when you preview or post the message, the deleted photo now shows up as an attached thumbnail. IOW, simply clicking and deleting a photo, or the pertinent html code, in the edit window does not completely delete it.
I went into my post above and deleted the [ATTACH] html line. The photo is still there but now it's shown as an attached thumbnail!

The "inline or inserted" image is still an attachment regardless.
If you dont like using the quick reply insert option & you're unhappy with it, id suggest you click on the go advanced button, which is the same thing as clicking "post reply" before i enabled the quick reply box.
This code simply causes an attachment to show inline, you can use that code any place on the site in multiple posts & not have to upload the attachment again.
If you look at my post, i attached your original image using "manage attachments", thats why it shows as a thumbnail w/paper clip versus mine showing as an inline image, even tho both of them are actually attachments.............
Ok, i have found 1 bug, that doesnt make any sense, but ill say it now, its NOT fixable, as vbulletin 4 isnt developed any longer by vbulletin after it was bought by another company & they went to developing vbullet 5, which is S H I T!
If you copy in attach code [ATTACH=CONFIG]167137[ /ATTACH], once you save or publish the post, it will show as an image, but if you refresh or revisit the page, it will show as a link.
If you insert the image into the post, the image stays & doesnt revert to a link.
Testing quote of another user to see if inline image reverts to a link or stays an image.

Edit to add, viewing this post with my main account, jc's image is view able, but with my test account which is a normal "registered user", it shows as a link....
I found what is breaking inline images in quotes, not sure how they are tying them together, but they are, so at this point ill leave the option that is turning images in quotes to links, but you will now see "deletion notices" in the forums as a registered user.

This site has kind of gone way down hill. I get an error whenever I try to upload a file. "This site says. Upload Failed. Too bad I really enjoyed this site for the last 5 years. Can we just go back to what it was???

As this is no different from the prior version, i removed a bbcode else statement from the file to allow vb to show pasted inline images from other threads, as the else statement basically says this:
If an image is copied in using the {attach=config}imageidhere{/attach} or {attach}imageidhere{/attach} into a new thread/post from the original thread/post, vb basically say we dont have info on this image & instead displays a link.
Id assume the info is related to you double clicking it & changing something on it, which you can do, it makes no sense really, so disabling that statement poses no issue that i can find.
This code is also in the old version of vb, prior to the upgrade, so now that "Quick Reply" is enabled, its now present for everyone to see & experience.
