• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I keep getting this message when I try to post pictures ... never had this problem b4

That's odd, but I see what you mean?!? Have you tried using 'Manage attachments' instead of 'Insert Image'?? Or vice versa?? :dontknow:
 
Bearing in mind that this is WAAAYYY harder to type out than it is actually to do.... :rolleyes:

Click on 'Reply to Thread' or 'Post Quick Reply' then 'Go Advanced' - once you get the 'Reply to Thread' screen up (or after you've typed your text in), scroll down PAST the text field until you see 'Additional Options'. The first block in that will be 'Miscellaneous Options:' but you want the SECOND, which will be 'Attachments' - in there you'll see a button that is labelled 'Manage Attachments', click on that. That'll open a new 'Manage Attachments' screen that has a bunch of options for choosing files from your computer or from a website - when you select 'choose file', it'll ask where you want to get it from, your camera, cam-corde, files, etc - select one, drill down to find the pic you want, select the pic, then Done, & once its address/label is showing in the space alongside the 'choose file' button, click on 'upload file' which will be in the bottom left of that space. It'll take a bit of time to upload, and once it has, the address label will disappear from where it was but appear down in the THIRD block on that screen, the one labelled 'Current Attachments' - Once it's there, you can select another file via the second 'choose file' button in the list & then repeat all the other steps, but effectively once their address label is in the 'Current Attachment' field you can go back to your 'Post Reply' screen & submit the post! :thumbup:

The pic/s will appear as thumbnails in your post, but in most cases 'Manage Attachments' will do the bulk of any re-sizing required and it'll often do the re-orientation too. Plus, when you click on the thumbnail, if the original image is of sufficient resolution, then even if it's small, your viewer can expand it on their screen to make it large enough to view clearly in a way that you often can't with 'Inserted Images'! ;)

Not sure it'll help with any problem that causes that particular message to appear (don't often see that one?!) but it works in many cases where 'Insert Image' fails, so I reckon it's probably worth a shot! :dontknow:

When I click on Manage Attachments, I get the same message and can't proceed further.

I am getting the same thing. Doesn't matter if I use the 'Image' icon or the Manage Attachments option. Different error messages. But both tell me I do not have permission to post pictures. I hope they get this fixed.

I couldn’t go back and add pics to old posts but it seems to be working with new ones?
