Well, we're back.

Unfortunately, all the "likes" have been corrupted and they are unrecoverable. :(

Also, Imgur will no longer be a baked in image host. Until I find another solution, please upload your pics to the image host of your choice, or better yet, use the attachment feature here.

Thank you for your patience. I can't express how absolutely frustrating the last 20 hours have been.

Sucks that our likes are gone :( not that it meant much anyway -more of a way of showing user experience/trust for trades and sales.

But nonetheless thanks for all the work you put in around here, without it I would have no watch forum.

Thank you for all your work.

But it's lonely when no one likes you.

Of course.

That's the data that's bad.

I am sorry if this is an ignorant question, but where do I find the "image attachment" feature?

MoT, many thanks for your perseverance running this site, and for the time spent & frustration withstood during the upgrade. Glad to see we have most of the functionality back.

Apologies for any first-world bellyaching you (patiently) endured. :oops:

Takes a little more hunting and getting used to, but should become intuitive soon enough.
You'll find the attachment option below the text box.

Got it! Thank you!
I noticed that the attachment option leaves all of the image metadata in place...at least when I tried it from the desktop. Not an issue for me with the picture I posted but might be something for users to consider if they are used to imugr which appeared to strip the metadata on the upload.

Things will look funky from time to time until I'm finished.
Sorry if that sounded gripey, just trying to report oddities I've noticed.
No harm, no foul. :)
