I was curious as to why, all of a sudden, I can't view pics and attachments in most posts? Has something changed here on the forum I am not aware of? Some posts I can see pics other members have posted, but more often there is a link for the pics and when I click the link it tells me I don't have permission to view the item or the page!!! The last time I saw that was 2 years ago when I was new to the forum!! Has something changed?????

Try clearing your cookies and cache, and then log back in and see if that works. That's what I do when that happens, and it clears right up.
Nope, tried that!! I also tried using a different browser... same thing... This has happened in the past when ECF changed some of the inner workings on the server. Not sure whats going on, but I definitely am not digging it at all. I took a screen shot of the message I keep getting but for some reason now I can't post an image in my posts!!! Really not digging this now!!! Who can I contact about this from ECF? Where do I contact them? Is there a troubleshooting section on the forum for things like this? I need help, please....
something has to be wrong with your browser, you can't post attachment on this thread but you can do it in most of the other
try to reset it to factory default
if you don't know how to do it tell us your browser and we will try to help you

Actually, I am using both Chrome and FireFox at the present time... Have been using both for the past 2 years without a problem. Has nothing to do with my browser, (either one), as this is the only forum I am having trouble with. Have posted on other forums, (e-cig related and others), without a problem. Like I said, this has happened in the past after some changes by ECF... I found another post where people have had some problems since the server upgrade and also posted there. This is not the only thread I am unable to post a pic. Tried to in the APV Discussion, General E-Smoking Discussion, and E-Cig Review threads also and was unable... This problem has nothing to do with my browsers as I said...
On a side note, I did however recently change my e-mail address related to the forum!! Could this be the culprit? Do I need to wait for a verification e-mail or something? I did the same thing in the other forums I frequent and like I said before, there has been no change in posting on those forums!! Just a problem here on ECF!!!!!!!
Edit: I think the changing of the e-mail address is the problem as I am not able to even post in any of the threads right now... Why is my account locked up and how long will it take to get it unlocked? Why is this the only site that this is happening on? Can someone help me out here?????

well, if you changed your email you should have a new email with a link to verify it, did you check your spam folder ?
there was a problem with the attachment a few days ago but it fixed by now
Yes, I have check the spam folder and nothing there... So in theory that would mean I am awaiting a verification email. I also sent a message to admin with explanation and am awaiting a response. Thank you for your help Liscab. {MODERATED} Any idea how long it takes to get a verification email from them? You would think when something like this happens an auto-generated email would be sent for verification... I don't remember it taking long a few years ago when I registered, but that was a different time and a different forum then!!!

in my opinion that's instantly ,the verification ( and I dont have idea why your emails to admin have not been answered yet, maybe he
is taking the day off )
and i have never changed my email I can't tell you too much about it
it's the weekend and today is fathers day........... the mods are not paid workers.......... they might be attending to real life..... a mod did answer you yesterday.......... the forum is free for us to use (unless you choose to subscribe)....... patience is needed ............

(Getting snarky about how/when we do things won't speed up our responses.)
Now, to help you with your problem, I see that we are awaiting email confirmation from you. Your access is severely limited until that occurs. And it is an automated process. The verification email was sent to you when you applied for the change.
So the question is, are you accessing your email via the web, or via a client such as Outlook or Thunderbird?
Wasn't trying to be "snarky" at all... Was just asking a general question and thought maybe someone else may have recently gone through a situation such as mine lately, or maybe a moderator, (such as yourself), might have a idea as to how long it might take... I by no means am in no hurry and am awaiting patiently...
I wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings when I made the original post or any replies I have made, but I guess I did. I was merely inquiring information to my problem, that is all!!! The comment about the mods on the forum may have been worded incorrectly, but I would have thought it would be a moderator, not a member, to point out that a verification email should have been sent out!! You had only pointed out for me to clearing cookies and cache, when as a moderator, you should have informed me to be awaiting a verification email... I am in no way trying to tell anyone how to do their job here, but the latter would have been a better response, and I probably would have only asked the question as to how long that might take!
The auto generated email wasn't sent to me until I sent an actual email to the forum, (yesterday), not when I actually changed my email, (Friday), here on the forum... So, in reality, the verification email wasn't sent when I applied for the change, (as you so kindly pointed out)... To be "snarky", (if I'm understanding the word you are trying to use here), you might want to check your facts before you try to do your job as a moderator!!! Hasn't been very helpful to this point!!!
I am still trying to grasp the concept of what email client I am using has to do with this? Are you trying to ask me if I have checked my inbox and or spam folders? The answer is yes, (if you read the entire post you would have seen I replied to Liscab about this)... Have I received an email from the forum? Yes, an auto generated message only after I sent an email inquiring about my problem, not when I actually changed my email address on my account... The auto generated message I received was only in response to the question about the change... I am still awaiting a link to verify it...patiently I might add...

Muzi, a moderator has not a full a access to all the forum setting, Sonic has been trying to help you, only an admin can give you the better answer
I know it is silly to say but recheck if you typed your new email corrrectly

Checked and rechecked... Thanks for the help Lis... I know Sonic has been trying to help, but I am not fond of being responded to like I'm a toddler... I've been a member here for over 2 years now and have an idea how the forum works, but as anything else, there is change and you can't keep up on everything...
I did resend another email from my original email, as I am unsure which account I was to send the original message from. I think I have all my bases covered now and will just wait for a response... Thanks again...
Day 5 now and still no response from the forum with the verification link!!! Very disappointed to say the least... Hard to believe that you can make the same changes to a bank, phone company, and other forum sites and it only takes a few hours for them and here we are on day 5!!! Starting to understand some of the things I've read in various places on the web....
Your account status says "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation"
You changed your email address.
The confirmation that is sent IS automatic.
Check your spam filter.
Members are great help in Site Feedback and Help - heck, you had one of the best computer people there with Liscab !

I check my spam filter everyday...nothing yet... Is there anyone I can message to find out what is going on? I think 5 days is more than just a little ridiculous!!!
