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!

No further updates from the vendor, but I reckon they also would like to enjoy their weekends.. What I found the Rebuild of the SearchIndex did fix: I found some member profiles which were showing nothing in the "All Activities" part - those are showing correctly now.

@Black Falcon Thanks for checking, reported it back to the vendor.

I just let the search index be rebuild from scratch & that finished a minute ago. I would like to ask to check if that made some positive changes.

Has been a spammer unfortunately - account banned.

Thanks for all of you giving as much details as possible, I just created a topic at the vendors forums to ask for help.

yep, I did reset them already, thanks for the feedback of that not making any difference. I will create the ticcket at the vendor this weekend.

I considered to go with another option to reset all the "Streams" (Unread Content, Content I posted in, etc pp) to the default settings, as the system allows that. Consideration is: We are using them anyways in the default configuration - if they are in some bugged state, my hope is resetting them to the be loaded as fresh default entries may allow having an effect already. I would wait till the next 1-2 days to see if it is still reported as broken before I would create a ticket at the vendor. Little addition here for the different Streams for their default values: Unread Content -- "Since last visit" Content I Started -- "Any time" Content I Follow -- "Any time" Members I Follow -- "Any time" Content I Posted In -- "Any time" So besides the "Unread" content the streams should show all old history items without any date limitation - users can change the options separately (I believe) and save them as new custom streams. This shall be considered the default behavior I just verified.

Also thanks @Toastie! For me it shall never be about "nothing to hide" as this may be used by some parties to claim others may have to hide things - for me it is always principles of privacy which need to be respected as the bottom line towards any individual. There shall theoretically never be any need for one to explain against (and for) it.

Thanks already for volunteering @idlemarvel. Nothing to do from your side - I just want to have some preemptive agreement for any user to secure as much privacy and data security for all of us - even against the vendor in troubleshooting reasons. For myself I consider this thr baseline of my job / profession of allowing as much service to every user, like I would fight for my own rights. Be always be assured of that please.

Little update on the topic: With the help of @MKJoshA & the other examples here we think we have somehow narrowed it down already, from @MKJoshAs observation only posts from beginning 2016 onwards are not showing for his account. It has been mentioned before by @Black Falcon via another post from another user quoted. @JLiu15 one of your observations has been mentioned, I did not find the original of yours within your thread - I would like you and the other people affectedf to help checking if your accounts are showing 2025 entries still, but none since beginning of 2026 - that would be helpful for having more than one account with this symptoms. I am planning to create a ticket at the vendors support site the next days, as we have now enough similarities to show them our issues. Other question I may have already.. As I am personally a big fan of data privacy and bein transparent before any action takes place: The vendor may ask for access to our systems for their investigations, if needed. If someone can think of their support (again, at worst if needed) login in with some user accounts to check the symptoms and possible other details "from the user perspective". If anybody can think of allowing this for his account, some written reply here in the thread would be nice for having more than one singular opportunity (@MKJoshAs profile, as he volunteered here already - role model as always, thanks in advance already ). Hopefully they may tell a simple fix like "may it be you are just stupid, as you have overlooked that one place in the configs which does the trick?!" -> Would be the solution I prefer as no big fixes would be needed. I will give another update the next days.

Yepp, still I am still shocked by the amount of text which was fitting the topic.

Wow, is that now an accurate description of our issue or just AI-Spam because of the mixed in "construction takeoff" link?! I seriously am confused...

Ok then I am glad, sorry for asking so specifically - did not recieve it wrong, I just want to stay always curious for other opinions. So excuse me if my questions sounded weird.

Yay I understood that part - still for me it creates the impression there may have been more possible to not give similar impressions - as this is clearly not my goal.

@Lipko not sure if I understood you correct. I am open for any opinion, so I would like to ask & possibly give you my answers already: Did you got the impression we would stop there and not further put efforts into the topic? I would like to answer that that is not the case. In the other topic for thr case I mentioned I created a support case for the vendor to help us out, please be assured I am not happy with the situation right now & after my regular work I will activly work on here. I am sorry if thr announcement was possibly not allowing to understand thst the issue is considered serious & urgent as well. As said I am open for any advises for what would have helped, for doing better in the future. Please don't hesitate to speak freely if something did bug you - your opinion is considered always valid and worth to be heard. Best regards

In the meanwhile I created a topic for more users being able to see it in the generic forums + have linked my announcement to point to the topic: I will give further updates on the matter in that other topic. So @bruh you may have to wait for another day until it may get fixed. As written, I will give updates in the other topic. Be sure this issue is bugging me with priority!

As stated before, I have created a request at the forum vendor, as I am not sure if "just reverting the configuration" may not do more harm. I am not sure how fastly they may be able to react, nor if I could fetch their answer directly. At worst I may just be able to continue to work on the topic by tomorrow evening German time.
