Bob,
Just checked some old posts again and some of my threads are starting to show the photos I inserted originally.
It does look like two of my very recent posts (within the past month to 3 or 4 months ago) are actually missing altogether. One was on my Super Husky build and another is about my acquisition of a new Much-Cal #2 Shay steamer by Accucraft.
Just thought I would let you know, in case you “find” them again :).
no, i didn’t refer to freightshed pics.
i was sniffing around the place, where all my former threads are listed.
in the very old threads, that i opened, there were no pics visible, that were/are linked from my website.
Bob, Is it possible to get the pictures from the “old freight shed” reinstated?
Thanks for all your hard work.
So just to change the subject, it appears that Google hasn’t caught up yet?
I often find old threads using a site-specific search, like “site:largescalecentral.com NewBright”. Google is OK, but I assume is probably still tracking the old pages:
as all I get when I click on a result is:
Yea, it will take google “a while” to find the new pages.
Found a neat feature, “Permalinks.” They redirect an url to another url, so the old LSC link
Now redirects to the new thread
Now to make a batch script to set them all.
Just posted for the first time on the new site, very impressive and easy to use and load pictures.
So are YOU (BD) absorbing the cost of picture storage now since there are NO more freightsheds?.
How much more should we give each year to HELP?
I actually don’t know my exact storage costs yet. Amazon is pretty cheap, my current estimated bill is 6c for October. As more content gets posted, that amount will go up. I wont have a good idea for a few months. But this version of the site is about 1/4 the cost of the previous version, its faster, easier to use, and very well supported.
Well, please let us know.
I would REALLY hate for THIS site to disappear.
(But now I wish I had just contributed 6 cents! 
)
It looks very good so far and I sure do like the picture posting!
I have imported the articles from the old software. They have been posted into the Articles category, and I have prepended the title with ARTICLE:
One more thing off the list.
Very nice!!!
Yet, when I look at this one: ARTICLE: A Master Index for the J&B RR
I don’t see ANY pictures AND all of the text seems to just show HTML…
Not sure about the others, as THAT was the first one that came to mind.
I checked on an article (the article?) I wrote and it seems to be fine, though missing the embedded videos (no doubt something that is still on BD’s long list to fix):
Interesting, there doesnt seem to be a rhyme or reason to it. I can fix them one by one…
It’s chugging along nicely and thank you for the patience Bob.
I really hate to see you have to do anything else, Bob.
Is there something that WE can do?
Well, since they’re your posts, you should be able to edit the post. A few things that need to be cleaned up:
Remove all HTML, and convert it to ‘markdown’. I use HTML to Markdown Converter
Then, you need to fix the inline images, since the markdown tags are not used, and interfere with the formatting of the post.
For YouTube videos, you need to remove EVERYTHING from the iframe tags except the youtube URL itself. Then they just embed correctly.
Bob,
I have a lot of emoticons/smileys that no longer display, such as:
(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-embarassed.gif)
Will these images be replaced, or should I scrub them all?
ok, weird. Bob it appears you edited my article to show the videos. Now I can’t edit it, and the images are gone.
Maybe I’m not doing the right thing about editing.
Here’s what I’m seeing:
And I can see the images when I look in the “edit” view, but when I look at the actual topic post I see this for the images:
Hm, I think we can revert to version 2, which had the images and videos.
