    I can no longer see any listing for the Political forum on the menu.
    Neither on my android phone nor on PC with Firefox.
    Also the link to join the political forum is dead.

    After reading the thread, looks like there was more than meets the eye.

    What's a Trophy Point?

    BTW: skilbova there is a certain amount of satisfaction derived when you successfully switch to a different vendor's product because the prior vendor was unresponsive, provided poor service or was simply an asshat. I'd say Danny is feeling a bit self satisfied at the moment and rightly so.

    Linking to photos in our photo album.

    The old software provided a link for posting photos in the messages. The new software doesn't do that. Kind of odd because the point of the album is to upload the pic to put in a message.

    The only work around I've found is upload the photo and then using the browser/right click, "Copy Photo Link".

    It's there but don't tell icarus. I think you have to sign in before you can see those.

    Not sure what you mean, there, Bob. If you post a link to a YouTube video, it will automatically embed it.

    Click "Manage Images", which is on the breadcrumb navigation bar once you are inside one of your albums. I agree, it could be more intuitive. Hopefully that album system will be improving in the near future.

    That works, but it's an extra step.

    I figured out that you have to be logged in to see any link for the political forum.
    I wonder if non-Political forum members see that link at all.

    I love the vBulletin user interface, but if it is the cause of weekly slowdowns and other performance problems, I can understand Danny's move.

    I will take some time to get used to new format - still trying to figure out how to do stuff I had previously figured out over time.

    Actually it turns out the new forum software is WAAAAY easier to post photos. Just click on the Upload a File button, use the Browse button to find photo on your computer and that's it. Much easier than the album system.
