Is it just me or has something changed recently in the way the Forum handles photos? I'm uploading from Photobucket as ever but a lot of my photos seem to be losing some of the breadth. They're foreshortened horizontally. Any ideas?

It seems to be limiting the view in the Forum window to around 660 pixels width.

The first one tonight showing the Cent is only 639 pixels wide, so shows OK. The ones of the tracks are 768 wide, so are cropped at the RH side.

Why this? Now all the pictures are cut off, losing their meaning .... it is a pity, for a Forum of modeling. :(

The forum has recently been updated to maintain functionality and to ensure that it is safe from attack from viruses and malware.

It is possible that this update has affected the photo formatting. We will look into this.

You may need to use F5 (or the Mac equivalent) to refresh your browser view to be able to see the resized pictures.

Hi all.

I am trying to add a photo attachment to my PM to someone else.
Can anybody help me, bcs there is a function at bottom of PM window to link files, but when I try forum says "JPG is not allowed" also with bmp and PNG etc, so nothing can be attached?

Don't know what i am doing wrong here, pls advice.

For some reason you can't send any type of attachment by PM.

You can upload the picture to somewhere like Photobucket and then PM the link instead.

Hi guys,

If you click on the resized picture you will see the picture in its original resolution.
F5 will close it again.

In the latest release of the PHPBB forumsoftware, the option to add an attachment to a PM has been set to "no". This is a safety issue to stop the distribution of malware.
Cheers,
