The forum refresh, that first came to the main Stardock and Galactic Civilizations 2 forums has made its way to WinCustomize.com today. After a great deal of feedback from users, the forums now more closely resemble other web forums in style and function.
We also hope that these new forums will alleviate some of the technical issues users had been experiencing in the past. If you have any comments/feedback on the new forums, please leave them in a comment here.

The only good news/result of your testing and situation is that it's going to allow us to write a little bit more elegant handling of the errors that you've seen. It was also suggested that I suggest to you, to try posting from another computer.
I should also have the reply advanced mode/edit line breaks thing solves shortly.

And I find it odd that a javascript issue from my site would create such an error message from WC? (I've had no other problems)
Thanks for your efforts to resolve this. I'll digg around more and see if I can tweak this.

Some strange inconsistencies in the July Desktop post https://forums.wincustomize.com/?forumid=144&aid=122255#963992
Is there a specific way to post there now, or is this just leftovers from the change?

Corky...I don't think so...more likely just the usual people having trouble posting images...like from their harddrive instead of from the net...

Jafo,
I was talking about the image size differences.
Both of my shots (as well as a majority of others) were full size in the post previous to the forum change, now some are smaller (almost thumbnail, for lack of a better term) and some are still full size.
I am wondering if it is based on the new code, and it's interaction with different hosting services? Or simply a new intention in the way the code will be handling the screenshots.
For my shots in that post, I can click on them and they will open in a new window which then allows zooming to full size when 'moused-over'.
The odd thing is that one time yesterday, my first shot was full size and the second shot was still in 'thumbnail' display. I am hosting both at ImageShack, and posted both the same way in that thread.

I'm using Opera 9.01 and when I view a thread I see some images while others show up quickly and then "disappear" and some never show at all. In most cases a small blue square is left as a placeholder. I'm seeing the site's smileys but images posted linked to other internet sites seem to be the ones that don't display.
Here's an example of what I see.....
