Message Preview, Photos as squares

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

Anyone help me with this:

Why do some messages on the board show a preview when you put mouse over them and others do not?

What determines how many photos will display in a message before they go into being little squares with red x's in them? I would love to see all the photos in a couple of msgs about Ireland but they don't show, even when I goto "show picture". ??

I'll be updating the photo posting FAQ over the next couple of days but in the meantime....
If you want to have your photo hosted on ukgser... ie. upload photos to ukgser, you can only display one in each post. If you upload more than one in a single post it will show a link for each of them but no actual photos.

If you want to display more than one photo in a single post then the photos need to be hosted somewhere else... eg. smugmug, photobucket, imageshack etc.

Messages that have no preview were created before the 3rd of this month. Only messages created after the site upgrade (3rd Aug) will have a preview.

If someone attaches an image to a post it will show as an image, if they attach more (upto 5) the attachments will show as links. If you're getting Red squares with x's in them, then someone has linked to an image hosted elsewhere that (for what ever reason) you can not see.

Deadly, alles is klar.

BTW, any chance of a button to go directly to threads containing mails by the logged-on user?
