Nice @janssnet - wishing all the best for good results!

From my point of view forums proved over the last 25+ years to be the somehow best way for sharing information for dedicated hobby communities. Facebook and other platforms tried to pull them all into their sphere - has been nice as it has been a new global thing to humanity, but I think we are also somehow smarter nowadays in regards of data-ownership and such topics. Additionally any self-hosted platform creates stronger needs for self-organisation, which global platforms are easily removing with their (good) functionality - I have the strong feeling any "social costs" of such changes are easily overseen and in consequence their effect may not even be recognized by most. With self-hosted environments, any community needs to achieve to create a shared accepted ruleset as a basis for any group cohesion starting to do its job in the minds of the people - Moderation and other administrative roles are working as stabilizers of the decicded for culture.. As more meta discussions about such topics need to take place, I have the strong believe this is paying heavily into the later observed outcome. I can also only add my gratefulness for Eurobricks still being the best place I know to discuss LEGO (and other related side-)topics. Kudos to all Mods of the Subforums - their ongoing daily work is considered the mandatory housekeeping for our community to thrive to me - you all have my greatest respect! 💪🫡❤️ edit: Link to Group Cohesiveness - super interesting (to me at least!) :D

Same here - found it a good rule of thumb to have a singular box where things to be decomposed are wandering in - if that has filled or I know some parts are in I have not in any drawers, then it may be a meditating break to do a sorting session to fill up the drawers again :D I am happy I am having mostly technic parts, not much of the tiny regular system bricks for the stuff I am interested in, otherwise I would tend to get insane more easily by the amount of different parts and colors there..

I just put your Listings and Images of Bricklink into Spoiler Boxes, as it has been identified those were possibly more missleading. I also put edit comments for transparency.

@marcuschn*edit* what Jim answered... :P

My bad, had some struggles in private life and could not check for another answer from them since then, as I did not find them helpful at all to that point. So we should still have the bug - but no more testing needed right now. Luckily I am starting my garden leave from this week for the next four months.. So I may pick up the topic soon again.

you just need to post the real URL as is ("https://i.ibb.co/XkdMYmhP/IMG-0553.jpg"), then it should directly render like this:

Wishing all the best for the move and whatever we may expect evolving out of your move.

The url example was just an obfuscated, considered not working example. (I have to admit I was also lazy and let ChatGPT write it up...)

Open the photo page on Flickr. Click the Download arrow (bottom-right of the image). Select “View all sizes.” Choose the resolution you want (e.g., Original, Large, Medium). Right-click the image. Select: “Copy Image Address” (Chrome/Edge) “Copy Image Location” (Firefox) “Copy Image URL” (Safari) You’ll get a direct link like: That is the exact image file URL which can just copied into any post for being rendered in it. I can recommend the thread for testing. To add: If I remember correctly, flickr may just allow unregistered accounts to see resolutions up to the 1024px version -> this may be the best resolution to use for sharing, as we also have the rule with the 1024px limit here in the forums (and some css from myself is shrinking any larger images back to 1024px anyways 🫡) Edit 2: Oh it has been a topic bump - nevertheless the flickr guide may be helpful for others :D

Thanks, found it helpful as another observation. I had some other topics of my private life to do with urgency this week. I will check for further posted updates from the vendor this evening again.

For renamed or moved topics there is a option for leacing a link / forwarding in place for a certain amount of time (7days if I recall it correctly), if thst option is not selected a topic will be moved directly and the old link may get deprecated directly. Additionally the new link may just be updated in the streams at some later time. But I may need to dig deeper how their caching mechanisms sre working, if they can not help us out with the original topic..

I finally got some replies, unfortunately nothing yet to solve our issue - I handed them @MKJoshA 's detailed post with the exmaples of old good and newer bad cases. I will keep you posted!

viewing in 1440p, also happening there - I think I can help with that, will write a PM..

Hello NOD, I am not Mister Phes, but I am also happy to hear that you can enjoy the forums! I am also amazed by the work Phes did for the Pirates forum - the theme is looking super awesome to me - also I am happy my dark-mode could be implemented and is working with such themed approach. Visually this theme is just outstanding to me!
