We are confident that our new forum format is greatly improved in speed, access and features for the old forum. But like any migration of software for one version to another or from one brand to another, we are experiencing growing pains getting it up and running at 100%
This is an area for you to weigh in on your concerns or problems, report bugs, and otherwise let us know what we can do to make it the best firearms collectors forum on the internet.
If you run into a problem, let us know, post it here. Give us as much detail as you can about what happened to cause the error. What forum you were in, what you were trying to do (post, import pictures, IM another member, search?)
All posts will be reviewed and as many as possible will be resolved. Some items such as suggestions for new features may or may not be considered or even possible, but we’ll surely look at everything and if it’s broken we’ll fix it and if it’s unclear we’ll try and explain it and if improves the forum we will attempt it!
Thanks for all your patience, and help!
Enjoy the Forum!

Thanks for starting this thread.
I have the same issues as 1873man (Bob). I do notice today I have an option to add the smiley faces but do not have an option to add images.
I will try to post a link:
Thanks,
Brad

That’s good, I’m able to post links. Thanks.
Due to these posts, we just now made some setting changes in the forum that will allow non members to post photos through links, which apparently activated when you tried again. Glad it’s working!
Just a note though, that joining the association also has other benefits on the web site, like enabling purchases of WACA branded merchandise, or full access to the Winchester Collector Magazine on line (Still in process but you can check out the test magazine here with the Spring issue!.) so consider a membership in WACA. It’s not really that expensive! A one year membership is only 12 cents a day. Less than a 4×6 photo at Costco! (The cheapest thing you can buy at Costco.) 
If you sign up on line, your access to all WACA exclusive area will automatically activate as soon as your payment is made!

Willl we again have the option to view and edit a post before we submit it, like before?
Thanks,

Testing photo link. I’m able to post a photo from another web site. I wasn’t able to do that before.

I’m already a member of WACA for several years. That’s why it’s been frustrating to not be able to use all the features. I would like to be able to upload images directly to the forum at some point without using links from a photo hosting site. I would not have a problem with registering as a new member if that would help. I have a project on 1894 gun sights I’ve worked on for several years on the old forum and I’d like to be able to make changes to it, update it and add images. I’m glad I can add links now.
Perhaps I won’t be able to edit information from the old forum. I can start over with a new post no problem…I actually want to. I don’t need to do it today but I’d like to in the future.
In my permissions under uploads it says I can’t upload images. The only green check is “Can upload avatars”.
It would also be nice to have some more green checks under the editing permissions. I have “Can edit own posts until there has been a reply”
Thanks for your help,
Brad
Whom do I need to contact in order for my profile permission’s to be changed so I am able to post pictures, links, and etc. that other members can do?
Sincerely,
Maverick

Maverick,
Have you tried to post a picture using the “insert/edit image” using pictures hosted by a 3rd party. I think they turned that feature on for everybody until they get the picture problem resolved.I wasn’t able to do link a picture before and now I can but I still can’t upload directly or add a signature picture.

Thanks for the post! This function was not included with the original software so we located a plug in and installed it. You should notice at the bottom under the smileys and options there is now a Preview button! Yes, it does work, but it shows up at the very bottom and you have to scroll back up to hit Submit Reply.

Posting links was broken at first and has been fixed. Highlight a word or phrase, click the Insert/Edit Link button above, fill in the URL and click OK for a slick word based link such as this.
Posting photos was limited to paid members but we’ve revised the permissions so that all forum members can post through third party web site just as in the old forum, except the interface is not much easier. Just click the Insert/Edit Image button above, fill in the URL and click OK

Again, as stated above, I’ve already “joined the club” a few years ago. I think there are many others like me who can’t use all the features who are also WACA members. Will this be resolved at some point?
Thank you for adding the preview button.
Brad
Brad,
The problem you and many others are experiencing is being caused by the merging of the WACA membership list with the old forums member list. It created duplicate user accounts, with only the WACA membership list being recognized as “Members” with full access rights. It is my understanding that the two formerly separate membership lists are being consolidated and the duplicate user IDs being eliminated. Once that is complete, all WACA members in good standing should have full forum access rights.
