Thanks, Louis.

If you see something wrong, check first. Wait a minute,click refresh. Give things a chance to show themselves as one offs. If problem persists at all, please report.

One thing about this site that has always bugged me is that when you click on a link, it always opens that link in the same web tab. I have my internet settings at "Always open link in a new tab". All other sites I visit do as I have set. So opening links from here in the same tab must be a site setting. Is there anything that can be done? Is this a "Doc" preference? It has always been that way with STF since the 1st time I visited, and I've been a member on here for many years. It continued through the recent rebuild of the site.

When using the picture attachments you can't always control the order (and you can get duplicates this way) of presentation. It asks you to put it in the order you want but that doesn't always work and you may have (if it allows you to) comeback in and change things after you submit.

This is normal behavior for this forum software.

As I said before, it's "normal" for this forum. I don't encounter this issue on other forums, including others on phpBB.

I just hold down the “ctrl” key before clicking...I think I use that trick on the other (local club) forum also

Has anyone else tried the donate button? it works for me

Some pics have gone missing over the years. This may be what you don' t see.

And a LOT of pics went MIA when Photobucket went for the big $$$$$$. Almost ALL of those are still MIA. That's a problem for the site and the users. But is not a SITE problem.
