For some reason, it seems to be resizing any image not linked in a post. For example, the signature images (which aren't in the body of the posts), and even images attached to post (which display at the bottom of the body of a post below a separator line). Is there any way to disable that?

It's currently configured to clamp the height of signature images to 128 max.  I'm not dead set on that particular height limit, but I'd have setup something similar long ago if the old forum supported it.  Whence upon a page full of large repeated signatures I chance to land, taking up more space, yea, even than the posts themselves, I have found myself to become reliably though infinitesimally perturbed.

The limit on the posted pics was set to 1600 width max; the idea was maybe it would auto-fix Vae's overlarge screenshots.  I've removed this limit, as perhaps the potential benefit was outweighed by the loss of otherwise useful resolution.

I believe you'll get beer at 2000 posts. So only 1900 posts to go. 

If it were possible, I'd lend you some of my post count. I have plenty to spare. Yes, "lend". 10% interest per year.

I don't usually write much, so I guess I won't get the beer glasses for a while.

The new forum allows security questions to be asked during the registration process.  I've set up easy ones related to id Software games or well-known employee names.

So far, not a single spammer has gotten through.

Haha, first spammer got through the registration process today (but was unable to post since the new account still requires approval.)

That would seem to mean this person actually knew the answers to the id Software related questions offhand, or was actually willing to take the time to google them.

Well, nice try anyway Sam42.

Congratulations, Sam42, you win a computer virus, you asshole!

Another little thing; any chance of having the folder represent topics you've posted in instead of some white icon that's slightly different than the rest of the other white icons? Bring back the rest of the old icons, too, like a topic that's had more than 25 replies has three red exclamation marks on it, etc. etc. Now it's just all white.
