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.

Are you resizing down to "small" size? That seems to be an issue onsite.

Google "image resizer for windows" It is a free app from Microsoft until 7/1/2021.
An HEIC file (photo) means you are using an iPhone and taking photos using their new file format. However, that new format isn't supported as a standard on the web (yet). You'll need to save a copy of the photo in a format this website supports. Certainly JPG, probably GIF or the more robust PNG, and maybe a few others.
I hope that helps!

Sadly passed away, December '23.
I think the problem is with the .heic file extension of your photo. HEIC is Apple’s proprietary version of the HEIF or High-Efficiency Image File format. You will need to convert those files into the jpeg format so this forum will recognize them.

I am using iOS on a Mac
Will try to add more info and what I discover while researching this.

So for those that have an iPhone and are experiencing the same issue as I with
not having Img or Jpeg photos and instead showing HEIC, there is a fix you can
do on your phone.
This worked for me on my iPhone 12 Pro max
Go to Settings, then scroll down and click on Camera then click on Formats there is a choice showing High Efficiency and below that Most Compatable, make sure the check mark is showing next to Most Compatable. Thats it!
Trying to get a fix on previous photos taken, and after spending two hours on the phone with Apple Support, thought we had it figured out, but this morning for that I am back to square one.
Will call them again when I have more available time
Below is a photo taken just now with correct format! although the rotation is off :banghead::roflblack:
