So with the new forums now in effect does one have to start all over and repost every pic of all their paints again? I’ve viewed a few peoples “New” gallery threads but no pictures appear. Is this because of error or that pictures havenot actually been posted yet? Thanks for any info. And a link " How to load" pics for new forums would be appreciated. Thanks all!
Afraid you need to start from scratch, Bob. They did warn us about this. It is a real shame that so many wonderful threads are lost forever

The announcement of the new forum was made months ago. I believe it was in one of the news items. Also the ‘old’ forum would be available read-only for a month or so but I can’t find it?
For the ‘new forum faq’:
“The old forums are now found at http://legacy.forums.forza.net/Forums/. They will remain visible for browsing for a period of time before being removed permanently. If you want to transfer posts you’ve made in the old forums to the new forums, be sure to save them soon.”
And how would one “save” or transfer from the old forums. I dont mind reposting my gallery but haven’t figured it out yet. And as far as I can tell nobody else’s pics are showing up either. P.S. Thanks for the info .
Hey Bob, have a look at the Monthly thread and tell me if you see the pics…

Sorry Dood, I still dont see anything. Just text.
Whereas with the old forum you would instantly see the pic you inserted, this forum simply inserts the text code. You need to select “Preview” at the bottom of the text box. However, the preview opens in a second box you have to scroll up to see. It took me many tries before I sorted this out. Could that be what you are experiencing, Bob?

Hey Gears, I see no “preview” or anything at bottom of text box. Only text and it wont allow me to click on anything.
And you can use copy - paste when you edit the ‘old’ post.
Not sure about the images. I always used BBcode for my pics that works fine with copy paste.
If the images links don’t work you should edit those lines to:
