ok I figured out the problem. Even though on choosing the pics they show up on the work page they are not actually downloaded immediately. I think I didn't wait long enough. Also I didn't preview before submitting this last time when everything worked ok. So I posted then edited a couple of typos by hitting the edit button. So there is a possibility that something bad happens if you preview but maybe not.

Two things Greg:

1) I was reading the FAQ and it mentions a bump button. Where is that?
2) We used to have a font size selection in the old template. I was looking for that because that little green 'x' that comes up when you click 'mark forums read' or 'Mark notifications read' is basically too small (from a PC)

ok, a third: the hot links next to board index on the header should be put back if available. I have to click twice now to get where I want to go.

Regards.

1. You should be able to bump a topic you created - when viewing the topic click the wrench icon
2. As far as I can tell, this was removed. I am toying with the idea of increasing font size of the template in general, but haven't done so yet because strange things can happen.
3. 'tis the default behavior for the board that isn't trivial to change

Thanks for the response, Greg.

On #2, it's just the pop-up box. All the fonts look fine to me except for that.

Hi, I cannot seem to find the "Posts since your last visit" button, it was super helpful.

Is it coming back?

Are we going to have to look at that pinkish/red "Ad blocker detected" message for the rest of our lives?

Not sure to what you are referring to. There are ads placed here and there through the forums pages to help pay the bills...do you have some sort of browser plugin installed that is causing this perhaps?
