my inbox for PM says something like You have x messages on hold because the folder is full.
I tried to delete some messages--can't figure out how. I can see where to mark them but the old selection of delete marked messages, seems to be hiding from me.

Help needed.

Hi Gary

When you are on that page:
View messages: Inbox

Click on the box which says Mark on the right
Then click on the arrow on the lower right hand corner
Click Delete marked then Go

Then you will get;
Delete marked messages

Are you sure you want to delete all marked messages?

Answer Yes or No

Let me know, if you need further help.

Hi Members

Let me know if you encounter problems with the latest updates from phpBB.

I have noticed that by clicking on the Library on the top left (who shrinked in the process) it doesn't redirect to the Magic Rarities section as before (to be fixed when the forum will be moved). FIXED

The program to add pics has disappeared (to be added when the forum will be moved): HostingPics.net. FIXED

Hi Members

As Photobucket have updated their Terms of Service and especially this one:
Free account : Each individual Member gets one free account that provides 2 GB of free storage or space available for your original photo files, or videos under 10min. The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting. If a free account Member exceeds their Content Limit, their account will be immediately suspended and they will need to become a “Paying Member” (defined below) in order to continue accessing their account. You can upgrade to a Plus account at any time.
For those that are using Photobucket this is the charging fees now:
Available Plus Account Plans : Photobucket offers the following Plus Account Plans:
o Plus 50 Plan: 52 GB of Storage for $59.99 / Year. The Plus 50 Plan does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 100 Plan: 102 GB of Storage for $99.99 / Year. The Plus 100 Plan allows for unlimited image linking but does not allow 3rd party image hosting.

o Plus 500 Plan: 500 GB of Storage and unlimited bandwidth for $399.99 / Year. The Plus 500 Plan allows for unlimited image linking and unlimited 3rd party image hosting.
The result is that Avatar, pics on the forum and in some Magic Rarities subsections have disappeared, etc. so now I do need to check everything, and replace them when it will be possible.

well, that'll be a nightmare to get all hosted pics replaced. Would flickr will be viable long-term alternative?

Yep, really didn't need that on top of the huge updates, I'm working on. I have already fixed two important topics on the forum, now doing a complete check up of all pics in the index in all the subsections on magic Rarities.

The Magic Rarities section has been fully checked, only one subsection was concerned, and missing pics were replaced. The main problem, will be in old topics and posts on the forum as back in the years Photobucket was widely used. Total posts 62412 • Total topics 6355, that's way too much to go through one by one. So from time to time, if one member sees one, it could be pointed on this thread (do not mention the Imageshack missing pics as they are gone forever as well as old Ebay links).

A lot of topics are concerned as the main contributors for pics were using Photobucket, so it will take a lot of time to fix the forum. This how I do need to proceed to give you an idea:
1: Find a topic with the infamous Photobucket 3rd Party Hosting Usage
2: Use the edit button and copy the old photobucket link
3: Copy paste the old link in another page, then copy the image from Photobucket
4: Paste the image in Paint.net (or else) then save it
5: Add the pic in HostingPics then copy paste the new link in the concerned post
6: Remove the old dead photobucket link.

Topics that have been done will have a "FIXED" in the title.

Fixing the pics can Only works if it's the done by the original person who added them, meaning that I can only fix the pics that I have added not any from others members

I'll fix my pics at some point. Not quite ready yet, but it will happen.

I do it from time to time, but the process to change them takes a lot of time.

The subscribe/unsubscribe button at the bottom of the various forums is at odds with the message that pops up. When I click to mark the checkbox, it tells me that I have unsubscribed, and vice versa. The text next to the checkbox is also confusing- when checked it says "subscribe forum" and when unchecked, "unsubscribe forum".

I have never used that button, this is a phpBB implemented feature. Question is if the subscribe or unsubscribe function is working or not ?
Also you can always ask about it on their website:

Hey there. It never occurred to me to subscribe to certain topics b/c every time you log on, the index pages will list in red all posts you haven't seen yet. So, it works for me w/o any subscriptions. Anyways, welcome to the ML community!

It looks like we have a pretty big problem.
The image hosting service http://www.hostingpics.net/ used on the Librarities forum says that they've shut down at the beginning of the new year.
No more new pictures can be hosted.
All images that are currently hosted will be up for only a few more months, and then they'll all be deleted.

Similar to the Photobucket issue, all of the pics will be disappearing soon, and a replacement hosting service will need to be found.
