So, I can see imgur albums (Like in this thread), but it seems whatever forum feature for albums or something doesn't appear. Tried in Internet Explorer, (not edge), Firefox, Chrome, all doesn't work. I believe it hasn't worked since the forum got its new snazzy look (I still dislike it but oh well) Example:

As someone who's made a multitude of OPs for craft threads, mission reports, and even on rare occasion, mods, I've taken to enjoying the power and precision of working with the code in my posts. The new What-you-see-is-what-you-get editor is great. The immediate feedback on my formatting is invaluable, but sometimes I want to see through the formatting. The KSP community is inarguably one of the more intelligible gaming communities and I think there's enough of us who are versed in C#, HTML, and Kod knows how many other code languages that people would appreciate this. Caveat 1: This should not be the default mode. There are people who won't want this and shouldn't ever be required to use it. This is for the more formatting-savvy crowd. As a result, people who don't want this feature simply have a new button to ignore and their forum experience is not impacted at all.

PETITION: Bring back VBulletin The new forum sotware has brought us many new features such as better font size control and polls with multiple questions. However, many of us have made complains about most of these points: One word: Eyesore. I will confess to you my sin of playing ROBLOX, and this change in layout is comparable to what happened to ROBLOX a year and a half ago. The amount of content one can see at a time has been minimized by at least the factor of 3, and reading large texts is just uncomfortable. The choice of colors is a complete fail, and many buttons were removed completely. The KSP forum looks more like a social network than a place for professional communication. Either SQUAD is aiming at simplifying the community to increase it's size, which means that KSP will stop being a good old indie game and will become something like Roblox or the people behind the forum change have made a serious mistake. The forum has lost it's unique feel. The PC version looks like a mobile site. Lots of wasted space. Simplification is the wrong way. The loss of BBcode is...painful. Why did you have to remove the whole thing when just adding an OPTION to create content through WYSIWYG? 90% of all posts are broken now. I understand that as the community gets larger, the "cute little game and cute little forum" feel where people actually WAIT for new posts on the forum and new versions actually add NEW CONTENT instead of only fixing bugs, will be lost, but this new forum has actually stripped the community of it's professional look. This forum looks like it aims at children. Seriously. Compare with ROBLOX. This forum is actually meant for people to write LONG posts, even post STORIES and ESSAYS here. It has been stripped of it's seriousness. Now it looks like people are supposed to exchange small sentences. This is a Forum, not ROBLOX, not Facebook, not a Chatroom. And at last, yes, several people have already noted that the new forum software is actually a DOWNGRADE from the old one. The forum just looks bland and stripped of many features. SQUAD has severely disappointed us. Is this the KSP Community Forum or is this the KerBlox Forum or KaceBook? I hereby open a PETITION to return the forum to VBulletin. If SQUAD will not do this or at least return the forum to a comparable look and format while using the same software, the developers should expect that the community will shrink. I hope that the pleas will not be ignored just as they are on ROBLOX.

I looked for but did not find a thread like this, so I created one. Apologies if I missed an official thread somewhere. The new forums have their advantages and there are still some glitches to be worked out. This thread is to capture the known glitches so that members will know whether an issue they're seeing is already being addressed, so they don't have to report it (and the mods don't have to answer the same question again and again ) This is not a suggestion box for changes to the forum, and calls to revert to vBulletin are most definitely off topic. Also let's not ask for timeframes to resolve these issues. I'd expect the mods and staff are as motivated as any of us would be to get everything running properly as soon as they can. With that in mind, here are the issues I'm aware of that staff or a moderator have said are known and being worked on: 'number of views' count does not update unwanted quote boxes re-appear in editor, some users cannot remove them Members I Follow link (Activity => My Activity Streams => Members I Follow) always returns an error page: I'll do my best to add others as they come in on this thread or as I see them elsewhere. Moderators, please feel free to edit this OP at will to update or correct the list. Thanks for all your work in managing the transition!

I just discovered an issue with the new forum software. Upon opening the side menu (I'm reading this on mobile, don't know if this is an issue on desktop), there is a submenu named "forum". Upon opening said submenu you will find two duplicate items labeled " forum" and "forums" which both return you to the main page. Just wanted to report this issue so that it might be fixed.
