Yes Geoff, thanks for keeping the site going. To bad that you couldn't send this plague back to the one that infected us!

Well done Geoff, it is good to be back on the best FORUM.

Hi All

Is any body having trouble with the thumbnail pictures incorporated in posting not the links but actually seeing the small pictures at the bottom of messages. I am not on all messages is this happening and it seems to be a mix of older messages and new.

Cheers Phil

It seems to be most of the older thumbnails.... it may just be pixilation of those, but I'll have to take down the forum to test this. At least the links work. Methinks I'll work on this come Saturday morning unless something else crashes. There's also a new iteration of the forum I may upload at the same time.

In the interim, I HAVE run a program to identify the "corrupted" photos, most of which go back years; methinks I'll delete them at the same time and see if that helps. There aren't that many considering we have over 20,000 images online...

Thanks for bringing this up.

Thanks for all the hard work you have done Geoff and anyone else working behind the scenes to get MLU back up and running.

Would it help with the photos if we started having them hosted off site on photobucket or something similar?

Thanks, yeah it's been a bluidy nuisance which isn't done yet, but we're getting there! Ref the pics, no, let's keep the status quo for the moment... things are obviously evolving and I'll sort this sooner rather than later. I've already increased the restrictions on posting pics, which may help. Let's all of us just keep a close eye on things.

Hi Jordan

My son in-law has business of designing and running commercial web sites and he advises staying away from the photo storage sites, historically they have not been stable. Some have shut down and all the photos stored on the site were lost.
