    Anything is possible. Why is it worth doing?

    Photobucket gives four choices for copying the link to the photo: "Email", "Direct", "HTML", and "IMG". Because "IMG" uses an "URL", and the insert image function calls for an URL, I chose "IMG". I copied it to a Word doc to look at it, and it does seem redundant. Whatever, it doesn't work.

    So I tried it using the "Direct" link: and Voila. It works.

    I'd still much rather upload a picture from my computer, but OK.

    Thanks.

    When I've posted in a thread, it shows my avatar and the thread originator's avatar:

    upload_2015-1-5_9-33-12.png

    That's how I know I've participated in the thread.

    On my mac, and only in Chrome, I'm able to drag an image from desktop or any other window with an image in it (another browser, iPhoto, etc.) into the editor where I want the picture and it's there. No need to upload, no need to provide a link.

    You can upload images into our media gallery and link to the image from there:

    Create your own album :)

    One comment:

    I think the sig pics, avatars, and text frames are too big. Especially on my iPad, the text is too small compared to all the other clutter and pictures and extraneous stuff on the page. On my iPad, the text is so small it is difficult to read. Meanwhile, there are a lot of pretty pictures and other stuff taking up a lot of room.

    My two pesos.

    The MMA forum is mostly comprised of threads I've made and having 900 Bruno Caboclo's on the left side of the page is a bit odd. For events I could use actual fight posters as the thread images which would be more appropriate. For other forums, having say the opposing team's logo in a game thread would make sense. It wouldn't have to be a full-time thing where you have to pick an image but maybe an option to set one (like how we have the option to add a poll) would work?

    This is what it looks like on my ipad:

    upload_2015-1-5_9-39-16.png

    The text seems big enough to me.

    As near as I can tell, it would break the ability to see what thread's you've participated in if you're not the thread starter.

    Read the discussion on that plugin. Maybe he's fixed it. I'm busy doing my day job, but I can look later.

    Looks like similar questions and requests have not been addressed.

    The beauty of this forum used to be its simplicity. That's what clutchfans and even lakersground have right now.

    Now this place looks like the mess at realgm. Way too much text, pictures, clutter. Way too many unnecessary features that people won't use. I get getting ahead of the curve with these things, but was this drastic of a change needed? Bugging me more than I thought it would.

    Can you be a little more clear on your concerns? I'm looking over the front page of the forum and if you remove the far right column it looks very similar to what we had previously. What are the unnecessary features you are concerned about?
