no changes to photobucket tag at all complete paste with tags from site.
OK, you just had the same problem I had. I typed in the link and ended it after .jpg, yet Photo Bucket added border="0" /> once it's posted.
Are there any other photo bucket users here that have had success? I believe it's Photo Bucket's issue (adding that extra border tag) not the issue from our software.

It's the link. Here's what you posted:

Kill the border="0" /> after the .jpg" and you should be good:
" border="0" />
We'll get there...

Answer THAT one, Bergie!

I would LOVE to answer it, but I have no idea what you're referring to. Calling our new forum incredibly complex without giving examples as to what you feel is incredibly complex gives me nothing to work with.
I know change is hard, but I personally don't find this new forum software to be incredibly complex. Does it take some getting use to? Yes. It's like anything else in life. If you have a habit established for a certain task and then something new is presented, you naturally fall back on your habit and things don't work. That applies to everything from reader forums to coffee makers or automobiles.
Remember the last time you got a new car? Were the controls for turning on your whipers or setting your cruise control exactly the same on your new car as there were on your old car? I doubt it. It's the same thing we're facing here. Yes, WE; me included. I've been learning this new software right along with you guys, and I have yet to find something (besides that goofy photo hypertext issue) that has made be declare this forum incredibly complex.
If you guys have issues, please be clear about them and lets see if we can all work these things out. Being vague and saying you just don't like it as much as the old forum isn't doing anything to make things better; it's simply stating your opinion.
Hang in there fellas; we'll all get there together.
Have a great weekend,

brothaslide,Actually, there were RR forums 10 years ago. In 1996, I started lurking on the newsgroup rec.models.railroad. And r.m.r was preceeded by Compuserve's groups, at least one of which was about model railroading. And before that, you had BBS's in the 1980's for model railroading. The internet is older than perhaps you think...
Also at that time, there was the very first Model Railroader "forum" if you will on their very first website design that I can recall. Andy Sperando would post a new question every month on the old page's Guestbook, and then others could reply to it and to each other. I know, because I was in college at the time and replying to Andy and others.
BTW, the worst forum software ever was the original MR Forum (before the last one). If you clicked on a thread topic, you then got a tree of replies...and you then had to click on each one to read it. Imagine clicking on every reply just to read it? Ick. Oh, and the link that you clicked on only had the date and time, no poster's names, no topic header, nothing. If someone didn't sign their post, you had no way to know who was even replying. (shudder) Just a bad forum with a lot of trolls (no registration was used at all...I don't even think they were moderated).

I copied the following link from my Photobucket account, and it seems to work:
You link DOES work in the quoted message though! Go figure!

The real forums was the Clubhouse, trainshows and prototype events involving live steam or older technology on exhibit. That was until about 10 years ago.
Now with the internet you can find that item or learn about it with a few clicks. But sorting out the wheat from the chaff is left up to the user.

Joe, I wanted to send you a sad face icon, but I cannot get the drop down boxes, so please know that you have my sympathy on the water problem at your home. I already have RC1 installed, and I'm betting this test does no better. The business version of vista ships in november, and the home version in january, as of yesterday.

The threads that get all the answers are the topics where someone is complaining about everything. Look at this thread....... SpaceMouse has all but stopped posting because every time he started a topic some &*%%$#@#@ jumps all over him and calls him names. What I really miss is the useful help that used to be here (still here, usually found on page 3) as well as the fun and good humour. While I still pop in from time to time, I find that another forum nearby doesn't have the childish attitude that this forum has developed recently...... So I spend most of my online time over there.

The threads from before the switch are in the same place as all of the others. As far as I can see nothing was thrown out.
Joe- Looks fine with IE 6. I don't like the embedded scrollbar thing, but then again, it is better than one screwy post messing up the whole page.

NO!
All I've found is that the "My Forums" shows all the threads I've taken part in in order (as it's set at present) of most recently contributed to on top / first going down to oldest contributed to. For me this works quite well.
Haven't a clue how the Personal Message works but anytime anyone E mails me through the forum it pops up there... and keeps a record of it all for me. This is pretty useful.
