Some may have noticed that you can still save files, but afterward you cannot view them. In the case of jpgs, all you have to do is change the name of the file, adding .jpg to the end. Presto, the robot brain on your desk then recognizes the file and can display it.

I have not tried this with gifs or other formats -- yet. Hopefully the forum will be back to normal soon, and this fallback will not be needed.

New problem related to saving photos:

If you click on the link below an attached image, or if you right-click the link and choose "Open Link in New Tab/Open Link in New Window", a dialog pops up and tries to save the image as a DMS file...whatever that is.

If you click on the thumbnail of the attached image to enlarge it, right-click on the image, and choose "Open Link in New Tab/Open Link in New Window", same thing. 

If you click on the thumbnail of the attached image to enlarge it, right-click on the image, and choose "Save Image As...", it tries to save the file with the filename index.php.jpg - so you have to rename it to what you want before saving (in this case, of a photo attached in the Roxy Red thread back in May 2021, to 032D492D-C900-40B7-85E7-17D441E3A684.jpeg).



P.S.:
The Bookmarks function is still missing, and clicking on the "Support" link still takes you to Zendesk's "Oops, this help center no longer exists" error page.

The index php files are .01 meg not even big enough to contain data

What I do is copy the filename in the caption. Then I expand the attached image to full size. Then I right-click on it. Then I click "Save As..." If it tries to save it as index.php.jpg I select the entire filename and paste in the actual filename. Then it can save the image correctly.

Sometimes seemingly at random, right-click-and-save saves the image as intended without index.php.jpg.

Any file that is a .MPG, .MPEG, .MOV, or something similar still cannot be saved. Trying to results in a DMS file.

You should not have to be doing this in the first place.
It should be like the way it was in the first place.
Like I’ve posted in other threads.I don’t understand why people who run websites change something that doesn’t need any changing.
I don’t recall one person complaining before about saving pictures.It was just fine the way it was!

because Technology gets superseded. This site in its initial incarnation was a pure HTML overlay of an FTP site ( i used to look at it purely as a File structure online when I first joined (1998 just after I joined the army) because the HTML was... not well done). by 2005 it was a mishmash of what looked like java and HTML over an FTP.  Up till at least 2015, you could still GET to the FTP (which is why we got hacked cause someone did a lateral privilege escalation to the main server). NOW it's done in a lot of PHP  on the back end instead of FTP. (I cant see the FTP site anymore) NOW if they would establish a secure LOG IN that would be nice.

Note this is not my job nor do they or will they pay me to fix it and I am by no means any kind of expert at website design. I see what i see. nothing more. and yes sometimes its easier to view the site still in a pure coding mode.
