Okay, I've got it. Evidently instead of the Direct Link, I have to use the IMG code at the bottom of the photo. At least on my computer.

Tom,
Sorry if I gave you some bad info....I'm going to try the IMG link now....
Well, that couldn't be any easier...copy the IMG code and paste it into the thread, just like the old software.

Research; it's not just for geeks.
Don--
Not bad info at all, friend. I've just got this very strange computer that decides to do things exactly the OPPOSITE of anyone elses, LOL! Had it for three years and it still scares the Willies out of me.
But thanks for the help, you at least got me going on the right 'track'.
I have been locked out. Does anyone know where the Font button is?

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
fiatfan One thing I would like to see changed is that after you post to a thread it would be nice if the software took you back to the same page as your post, not to the first page of the thread. Tom

This appears to be fixed! Thank you Bergie and co.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.
Jarrell posted the first image (and a fine one it is!), but there is no offer of enlargement, and it won't do it if I place my cursor over the image and click it anyway. Next comes an image that offers to resize (click on the bar above the image), but that fails as well...nothing happens.
In fact, none of the images so far will enlarge for me.
One thing that has been fixed for me...the text when I am typing no longer runs off to the right and out of sight past the right hand border of the text box. Yippee!
-Crandell
Well, I found that if there is no bar above the images, they won't enlarge. However, if there is a BAR and you click on the bar, they will enlarge for me. I am using IE7.
I also found that you can quote a message by hitting the quote button that you get after you hit the reply button. Then it gets copied down into your reply message.
I can't make up my mind if I like the changes or not, but I will live with them.
Now for a photo test.
Mac, I just got it to work for the first time myself. Funny, but the cursor won't change to the pointy hand icon except in a very few spots. You'd think just placing the cursor anywhere in the bar would get the desired indication.
The site looks more contemporary, but the clutter to the right is indeed disconcerting. Oh well, just don't pay attention. I actually used the banner ad at the top sometimes to go to a vendor, and it's curious why they eliminated such a premium ad position.
Guess got to find out all the bells and whistles on how the new site works. Hope posting pics is the same.

For those who haven't yet figured out have to change text color from the toolbar, go to Update Profile, click Site Options. Third option on the list is 'Content Editor'. Select 'Enhanced'. Scroll down to the bottom, click 'Save'. You're on your own from there.
Thanks for the tip, Jeff. I missed my color palette.

I miss some of the toolbar functions but I should be able to survive their absense. I did read something on MSN.COM this A.M. about reducing stress so maybe I can figure out how to solve my grievance with this turkey without beating my stupid head against the wall.
The old system had an automatic carriage return flagging--that's what such a thing is called in the programmingenvironment--at the end of the line which SHOULD be at the end of the visual page: IT'S NOT! INSTEAD IT IS LOCATED SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF CHARACTER #125 WHICH IS LOCATED THREE BLOCKS NORTH OF BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN TIMBUCTOU!!! It makes editing nearly impossible if you run your print out beyond the right margin of the visual page. I am trying this response to do a manual carriage return when my cursor gets at the end of the visual page and the left margin begins to subduct.
Also, has anyone figured out how to edit after you have previewed; I am perhaps overlooking something but the only way I seem to be able to get back to my response is to post and then edit!
NOTE: IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING!!!!! Would have liked to have put this comment in 36pt type but that's something which has disappeard from the toolbar! That Law of Unintended Consequences seems to be alive and well and functioning flawlessly in this new whatever-you-call-it!!

yeah, I;m sorry about naggin for something free. But, from going Page 7 to Page 8, where the forum was being widened by the pictures and Page 8 wasn't I was realy liking it. Thank we could go to that width instead?
Free or not, The content of the forums should not be skewered. Also, very rearely I get a 404 errro coming straight into a thread from a link.But if I hunt it down through the forums, right there it is, waiting for me.

RT, there are three tabs at the top of the page when you're posting: Compose, Options, and Preview. After previewing, just click the Compose tab again to get back to typing or editing.
Edit: When I posted this time, I ended up on the last page where my post is, not the first page of the thread.

it's a great new looooooook i like it
New evolution, I;m getting e-mails about MY posts.
Makes sense but I sure didn 't think of it.
I once coded a program which not only updated but completely replaced a prior program. We ran an extensive test on the new program; we encountered one problem which we could not immediately solve so we put a page in the immediate front of the operator's manual warning of this problem. Forty-eight hours after the program went operational we got a trouble call on this problem. I responded. The operator told me what had happened; I opened the book and right there in the front was a warning against executing this particular procedure without executing a particular procedute aforehand. I grabbed the book and waved it under the nose of the operator and demanded he read it while I ran a diagnostic routine to clear the problem.
Operators are not dumb; they do, however, tend to get a little lazy when it comes to paying attention to instructions. I guess in this regard I too became just a little bit lazy and got a little bit lazy myself.
I just noticed the same thing that R.T. did--when I posted my photo (finally)on the previous page, it came out ENORMOUS--even bigger than it is on my Photobucket account 'full size', and the page spread out like crazy. However this page, with no photos (as yet) is normal, with the ads taking up their usual band at the edge. I wonder if it's just my computer (which tends to do whatever it wants, no matter how much I try to 'civilize' it, LOL!) or if anyone else has this problem. I'd be interested.
Hmm, just noticed--I've got 6 out of 8 little green Thingies filled in below my Avatar. Does this mean anything?
Yeah, yer down a couple quarts, Tom.

Selector:
I posed this question on another thread and have not heard back yet. Maybe you or someone here can enlighten us on a feature that appears to be missing or maybe it is not yet enabled. That feature is the subject line in the e-mail notification. The old forums had the thread topic displayed and I observed that this is now missing in the new notification.
This feature is important to some us who have tight timetables -- in other words, I look very quickly at the subject line to see if there are a number of e-mails about one topic -- If time is short, I pick the few -- If I have large block of time, I pick the most posts -- like WPF!
By the way, at the risk of getting flamed by a number of forum members , I will say that I like the Ads. As Model Railroaders we are always shopping for something -- The ads do help the cause -- ours, yours, and the advertiser!!
The Tabs in the "Reply to an Existing Message" are really great!!
Oh, yes! I wasn't able to find the "Spell Checker". I had to copy and paste to Word, spell check and then back again! Don't tell me!! I have to learn and grow . I'll find it or how -- I really will .

Hey, talking about the bandwidth widening when I posted a picture, just posted another one on the Layouts and Layout Building thread, and it came out 'normal.' I must have done something RIGHT, for once! Either that or my computer has given up trying to 're-Train' me!

I've always had to use the img code line. IE 6, IE 7 AND Firefox.
Looks like they fixed the problem of it jumping back to page one after you post.
Loathar:
Hmm, you re-posted George with the hot ashes in a wooden gondola, and it's back again. Full page. I must have done something different with the last picture. Okay, I'll try again. I think it's MY computer, unless this is doing the same thing one everyone else's. Let me try something--
Uh-uh, but my computer just decided to freeze up. Okay, another try:
Let's see what happens with this one.
Well, it's more sorta/kinda, but it's still taking a lot of bandwidth, at least on my computer.
Well now I am getting this error on several of the threads:--->
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
I see no way to report it to the system operators. When I choose "contact us", I either get the magazines contacts or another error --> "The system cannot find the path specified."
Another issue.It seems that the "read" counter is not working on all the threads. Some like this one show high counts. Many others seem stuck at zero. ???
