They have a contact link, why not ask them?
I’d assume that it should work with varied web sites and forums.

Probably looking for high traffic web sites for advertising.

there demo uses the same codes we do fo hosting images "[img][/img]"

 

That is explained very well and Is exactly what I was thinking. It could be used just as I use image shack now for my own posts. If it was going to be an integrated part of the forum the hosting site and boardhost would need to be contacted to find out how hard it would be to add,  but it should be usable as is as long as you leave the forum upload the photo and come back with the link.

I have sent messages to boardhost support and have not gotten any replies.

I am not surprised by that.  I don't think they are putting any time or money back into the business just leaving the site up and collecting $ from advertising and those groups still paying for service.  And now that I say that It makes me think it might be another good reason to move the forum.  If they are no longer "working" at maintaining their business, and with the decline of forums as a whole, it is reasonable to think that at some point the money coming in to boardhost will not cover their expenses so if Boardhost decides to pull the plug the site would probably be gone without warning and we would lose all the contact info.  In that case getting everyone to a new sight would be extremely hard and I am sure we would lose a lot of people but if the forum makes a decision to move we can get the word out about the new location and hopefully keep the most members.  Just something that popped into my head and thought I would mention it.
 

Are we there yet?



(sorry, couldn't resist)

Only five or six members post any more. Is it worth the effort to even move it?

I would hate to see that happen, if for no other reason than the bash.

this was one of my pages I don't use I made it back in 2011...bout to go to bed I can make Steve and Daze admins and could get as many people of forum to join so we can post the location of new forumn in case it shuts down or something we can make it private.
I changed the name of that page to MustangSteve FYI for now

Billy, I think the general consensus is to stay away from Facebook.  If MS wanted to go back to Facebook the page he set up several years ago is still an option, it would just need to be reopened.

I am all for doing what is best to keep this forum alive and well. I can't really help with the technical computer/website stuff, but I and pitch in some money to help smooth the way if we decide to move on to another format/website. Don't give up the ghost - there are far too few websites that are helping to perpetuate the Mustang hobby.  Don't let this one die.........

I think I may have lost sight of the issues with using our current forum on Boardhost.  If it is only the photos, then I think we have covered a functional answer to that.  Are there other issues?

Pictures issue is my only real complaint. 

Yes, there are workarounds to be able to get a picture posted, but there are forum hosting sites that allow pics to be placed with just a couple of clicks.  I think it best to choose one and move.

I've been using TinyPics w/o any issues.  I've posted how I've done this; evidently this process doesn't work for everybody ... I have no idea why.
It woulld be nice to be able to click 'copy' on a picture from one's computer and 'paste' to the forum response.
