Problems posting in the gallery

[Ron Wood]

I don't know how many ways there are to access this forum, but I have been lead to understand that not everybody comes in through www.lugerforum.com - so perhaps the menu list at the left of the screen is not being presented depending on how the site was accessed.

Also, the QuickReply feature has made some new members unaware that photos may be posted in the topics as well as the Gallery. If you do not use the "postreply" button and only use the QuickReply, you do not have the option of posting an "Image".

I seem to recall that Ed Tinker created a tutorial on posting pictures, but I currently cannot find it in the Tech or General Information. The "Upload Photos" feature and how to copy and paste the location of the uploaded image appears to remain a mystery to a lot of folks.

While I am on the topic of graphics, it seems that a lot of custom avatars have disappeared (mine included). I know that these things get clobbered from time to time. Is it possible to place these custom avatars in a permanent location similar to the generic avatar selections, so that individual members can restore their avatars without having to resort to system administrators to replace them?
