Xenforo - New Forum Software & Server

Apologies, mate. Think it might be a permissions thing as I've tried it now with the test profile and it does exactly what you describe.
Hmmm.

 

Ah. Try it now.
Had probably used slightly wrong link format. Changed Template and seems right on Test now.
(Hey - one template edit to get this far. You know that's special. )

 

Buggrit!
That's internal site links isn't it.
Leave them for now and I'll have a shufti later, there may be a clever way, or a find/replace method for sorting the format.

 

Passed that one to Otto...

 

Important note, chaps.
Some point soon-ish, the main forum access URL/link will change to a very plain WW2talk. com, without all the 'forums' etc.
When that goes through, if the site disappears you may all have to change your links a little.

The thread linking thing may be a fixed embuggeration I'm afraid.
There is more dreary tech stuff to come in the background which might sort some things, but I'm very sorry as it looks likely internal links may have to be redone manually.
Give it a few days before acting though.

The 'Resources' area may be the interesting counter to all this, though.
Resources | WW2Talk
Quite possibly an area where 'proper' research can be stored in a more solid form than any thread, with threads feeding into that downloadable stored 'stuff' (and also the .Org wiki.).
Needs setting up into right categories etc., but it's all rather intriguing.

 

I can see all your pics, Ron, so looks like it might just be a settings thing.
Hang on and I'll go digging.

 

Ron,
When you get the 'Three dot' albums, can you then click on that album to view the images within?
Think it might be that albums from the previous setup just don't have a 'cover' set, as newly made albums seem to.
If so, I'll keep digging to see if that image can be user selected or auto-generated.

 

Actually...
Think there may be something squiffy here.
All the images appear to be there (search by username in media), but may well have fallen out of some of the albums.

 

Still digging for a more settings-based fix, but there is a way to do things manually.
When you click and open an image to full (with all those edit & sharing tools I'd not seen), there's an 'edit media' button that then gives you a 'move image' option to shuffle things back into correct albums.

See below for easier mass-move method.

Also combing permissions to make sure everyone can do this, create albums etc. in the gallery.

 

Yes, I'm afraid the album boxes may have been dropped on the floor and all the contents needs sticking back in.

Thankfully, this can be sorted in a mass way by each member.

Top bar: Media.
>Media bar: Your content>Dropdown>Your media



You can then select images en masse by ticking the little white box top right on each one, and a pop-up gives you 'Other action' > 'Move Media' to shuffle stuff back into the right albums.
