Does anyone know why I can't post a photo any more? The little icon to attach is gone. I am trying to post from an android phone using Firefox and in desktop mode on the forum.

This has only just stopped working for me.

I am experiencing the same thing. The icons to load a picture on my phone aren't there. 
 

This Forum would get more attention and Mustangsteve.com would get more business if there  was a easier way to post pictures.

I moved the NLOC over to Xenforo, it's really nice and has a lot of media, gallery, etc options

No Sheet. Why has posting photos on this website always been such an inconsistent PITA? Can we do a fundraiser to acquire a reliable system that works every time for everyone on every platform?  I'm willing to put in $100 just so I know that I can easily post a picture whenever I want! 

Brian - please take note!!!! Let's get this done! 
 

I'd be down for that too.  
 

I have to make a payment every 6 months to keep the photos option alive, and I can't make it early. Despite setting a reminder, it has been difficult to time it so that there's no lag between outage and renewal. This is purely a function of the antiquated (not in a good way) forum. I am open to moving to a new platform if that is what everyone would like.
 

I just figured the picture option was down again and would be back up soon.  Looks like it is.

Seems it is time to upgrade to a newer software program that allows for easier uploading of photos.
I have no knowledge in this area, and I agree with the sharing of any cost involved however, the cost of the upgrade needs to be identified before committing. 
 

The thing we need to watch is what I think may have been a deal breaker in the past: whether or not we can move and integrate all our existing content.  

We tried to find a better forum platform that worked with more modern picture posting a few years back. Could not find one for reasonable price since most stuff is now on Facebook type format.

Bottom line: This type of form is a dying format.

I personally think a Facebook private group format would work better and encourage more participation from those needing help with Mustang stuff.  We would have to police/moderate it just like I always did with this forum.  Most facebook Mustang groups are populated by people with no clue. I think there is an opportunity for this group to migrate and change for the better.  Those who are vehemently opposed to Facebook probably have only been exposed to the unregulated garbage that is so prevalent.  There is an opportunity here to move this group forward.
Yes, there are some drawbacks like searchability, but if nobody is posting here or reading here, what good is it to have those features?
I think a properly moderated group on Facebook with vetting of all members would provide an opportunity to help more people with our knowledge base and help to promote the MustangSteve brand.

I agree 100%!

MS, I'm with you on this.  Facebook has gottten a lot of bad PR because of the garbage!  I am the owner/Admin of a group page for the particular Side by side I own.  We have about 2500 members.  It is a private page and requires an admin or moderator to approve membership.  We have very few issues because we run a tight ship!  There was some discussion a while back about using a Facebook page for the Bash.  One of the comments was about the page being private, I commented that its private to keep the garbage out!  Being private only means you have to be approved to be in the group, I believe this is how this forum is????????   Best part of Facebook is its FREE FREE FREE

Greg, I would have hit LIKE on your post, but…IYKYK

If we can't migrate all the content is there a way to keep this forum around, even if just as a library which could be linked to the Facebook group?  This way we maybe get the best of both worlds?
