OK, well it looks like pictures are working. More specifically, album pictures are working. If anyone still gets a link instead of a picture on one of the newer threads let me know. Album pictures should now be resized to a forum-happy size, though the larger ones uploaded prior to this change in moosie's texas trip thread are still going to be large.
I also changed the # of pics you can upload at once in the album section to 15, let me know if anyone sees anything different.
@Buschy - thanks, I believe it was picture of the year or something similar - it's a lightning storm hitting a volcano.
