Okay I think the aspect ratio issue for vertical mobile photos has been fixed.

With this one change you guys have leapfrogged other forum software. The method of uploading the images is great and the WYSIWYG editing makes sense with the photos inline.

My ONLY remaining complaint: please please please get a "go to first new post" button back again! It's tiring to go to the last post in a thread and have to scroll back to find the last one you read then start reading forward again. :-) Pretty please with sugar on top. I'll get a 10 year subscription if it happens.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad you guys like it. 

And yes, that button is still on the to-do list. It’s a long list though.

Quoting for truth.  Great work, guys.  Really.  I know I've been critical of the forum software in the past, but you've made great strides.

This is great, but will long epic threads be an issue? How about longevity? Backups? The photobucket apoclypse is still affecting most forums, tutorials... i'd hate to lose grm post photos once they start getting used...

Once the pics are uploaded, can someone hotlink to them?

We are a small corner of the internet, but if they can be hotlinked, then you just created a new photobucket with no fees and no storage limits. Don't underestimate the internet

Looks like they're using AWS so server load shouldn't be an issue, though hosting costs might be if someone hotlinks a ton of very popular images or something.

Long threads shouldn't cause a problem. Upload limits are constrained by time, not total uploads. And the reason we embarked on this project was because of the Photobucket apocalypse. We can say confidently that we will never suddenly lock anyone out.

He took that car to several races and I don't think he ever got really good results out of it. He did get some coverage and maybe a heroic fix trophy or two out of it! I just remember it chugging around the track, running horribly, with an ammo can intake and a one- or two-speed transmission.
