Thanks Rick.
... to threads or posts was undoubtedly designed to be "state of the art" when the BB was created going on twenty years ago, or however long it has been. Unfortunately, the BB system for attaching photos turned out to be pretty poor, practically unusable in my experience.

Some of the outside resources hosting photos generally worked well with the BB, such as photobucket which was generally okay ( although I had some real problems with photobucket a couple times which resulted in most of my photos disappearing from the BB ) until they started charging significant fees.

I don't have a clue what can be done, and at this point I'm not sure it's even worth your time, Ron. But have at it if you will. Good luck.
