Thread Necromancy
Several people have been apologizing for thread necromancy.
It's OK. Really. Just so long as it's a useful continuation of the thread, and not just a "Me-too" or "bump," it's all good.
There has not been, since I've been on, any policy prohibiting picking up old threads, and that goes back quite a way.
The only request is to make certain that the post is relatively on topic and has content. Some of the most enjoyable discussions on this board have had year-long or longer hiatuses.

Upload it to the file library. For example, using the file on the following page:
http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Dis...ad.php?t=26604
I go to that page, right click on the file link, and copy the file's url (copy link address)...
which gets: http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/attachment.php?attachmentid=874&d=1338152287 AotTI.zip
And add the filename after
http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/attachment.php?attachmentid=874&d=1338152287 AotTI.zip
I then wrap it in URL tags:
[url=http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/attachment.php?attachmentid=874&d=1338152287] AotTI.zip[/url]
This is followed by inserting the file image, again obtained by right clicking and copying image URL:
[url=http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/attachment.php?attachmentid=874&d=1338152287]http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/images/attach/zip.gif AotTI.zip[/url]
And then, I wrap that in img tags
[url=http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/attachment.php?attachmentid=874&d=1338152287][img]http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/images/attach/zip.gif[/img] AotTI.zip[/url]
and that gives:
AotTI.zip
Linking to Images
Upload the image to the gallery. Then...
In the gallery, click on the image to get it full screen, copy the URL:
http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/1_Radial_Accel.gif
Then, put it into a url start tag:
[b][url=[/noparse][/b][noparse]http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/1_Radial_Accel.gif]
Then add the image tag:
[url=http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/1_Radial_Accel.gif][img]http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/1_Radial_Accel.gif
Then modify the one in the image tag:
[url=http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/1_Radial_Accel.gif][img]http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/small/1_Radial_Accel.gif
Finally, close the tags, img first:
[url=http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/1_Radial_Accel.gif][img]http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Gallery/images/168/small/1_Radial_Accel.gif[/img][/url]
And you get:
using "medium" instead of small gets:
Contact Us
Because I discovered *I* couldn't find a link to the contact us page...
I have added a "contact administrator" link to the quick-links menu.
This is for reporting issues like moot membership renewals, broken links, and other administrator specific contacts. It doesn't use the PM system - it does send an email to the COTI board administrator email which both Cryton and Aramis have access to (only Aramis checks it regularly).
