For all your previous posts, yes, you'd have to edit the link to point to the new location. I am fully aware, again, that this is a tedious and frustrating process that I fully expect nobody will bother to do. Sadly, most of those pictures will simply disappear into the ether.

Use the "BB Code" option.

We have a limited amount of storage here on the site, and most of it is consumed by our database that holds, well, everything that you see here on the site that isn't a picture. If we tried to host all the pictures, the amount our hosting provider would charge for that much storage would be... too much. If you have a paid account with Photobucket already (which I'm guessing you do? I can't tell), then you can still embed images until December 31, 2018. At that point, they're going to try to shove you into their $400 plan. Note also that "linking" and "third-party hosting" are differe

TL;DR: Photobucket is evil and stupid now, use Imgur instead. So Photobucket, a site a lot of you use to host pictures here on the site, is currently committing corporate suicide by preventing people from using their service for exactly what they've been using it for since forever. To post pictures from Photobucket here on Fort Fiends, the fine folks idiots at Photobucket have decided that you need to pay them $400 American dollars a year for the privilege. That's dumb. And it's going to break a lot of links here on Fort Fiends. I wish there was something that we could do about that,

Our friend Ken asked me to delete his account. I have complied with his request. I think there's nothing else to see here (except for possibly some questionably-replicated pastries).

http://wdwnt.com/blog/2016/06/breaking-walt-disney-world-introducing-fuelrod-service-to-revolutionize-how-guests-charge-electronics/ Short version: Disney will sell you a $30 portable phone charger that you can replace with a new one when you use it up. Because you will use it up. Long version: Buckle in, folks. this is a long one, and it's gonna get geeky up in here. As an Actual Person Who Develops Apps And Stuff™, there's some things that you have to take into account when you're working on your app. One of them is the fact that, even after years of improvements in battery te

Are we a bit hung up on this "phantom campers" thing, maybe? Are there any real numbers telling us how many times someone actually makes a reservation at the Fort and then doesn't use their campsite, staying somewhere else off-property? How is that even economical? I wonder if this "phantom camper" thing isn't just anecdotal, with people who see a vacant campsite on a busy week assuming that it's a "phantom campsite" and not just one that's vacant for a different, logical reason? I'm not trying to deny that phantom campers exist, I'm just wondering if it's not as big a problem as we'

Disney's solution to "phantom campers" because Fort sites are cheaper than on-property hotel rooms is going to be making Fort sites not be a bargain compared to on-property hotel rooms. Are you guys telling me you can't see that coming a mile off? If you really want them to do that, please continue to complain about phantom campers. They will raise Fort rates until phantom camping is no longer a problem. Of course, then you may feel free to complain to them that the sites are too expensive, but they will look at their bottom line and think to themselves, "Nope, we like money." Having

Thread reopened. Please try to keep things civil around here, won't you? Thank you.

I don't like the tone that this thread is taking, on both sides. I'm locking this thread for a day or so to let people cool off, and if people can't be civil, I'm going to move it to the debate thread so you can yell at each other all you want to about it. There's an interesting discussion to be had here, but it's been lost in everyone trying to score rhetorical points by sniping at one another. I especially do not like it when you make up a name for the group of people who disagree with you. That way leads to community fracturing, and I will not have it. It is perfectly OK

I DO NOT LIKE IT, EITHER. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE FAIRY ACCOUNTS ARE FOR. I don't like having to use Mod Voice, and I don't do it often. But to emphasize an important point before the conspiracy theories start: The Tag Fairy accounts (there are a few - more than one and less than 5) exist so that a few people that aren't Jen and I can do the following things: Change people's tags (the text below your avatar). Nothing else. The Tag Fairies do not have moderator status, nor are they voices of authority- either on the site, or on the Fort. Why have separat

It's all still there, the site just rearranges itself based on your screen size. It's all hidden under the "hamburger" menu in the top right of the page in portrait mode. In landscape, there's room enough to display it as you see it in desktop mode. It's the magic™ of responsive web design! <insert glitter, but not regular glitter, more geeky than that>

What are you trying to figure out about the mobile view? There's no separate "mobile skin" like there was before, you see the same page on mobile as you do on a desktop computer or a tablet. It's called "responsive design" in geek circles, and it means that the page adapts to the width of the screen it's on. You have all the features of the regular site on a phone or tablet. You can actually see it working if you're on a desktop/laptop computer. Just scale the width of your browser down to make it thinner than it is tall and you'll see the site respond by moving things around.

This is because the "Info" tab is secretly a link to the Browse -> Articles tab.

I don't know what you're talking about. The Info tab has always been the Info tab. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

Of course! It's so simple and easy to understand! (please note the sarcasm in the above sentence. It is drenched in sarcasm.)

We had a pretty major update to the site today. While we're still getting everything settled, all the articles, posts, and PMs from before are still here- they might have just moved around a bit. Give us a bit of time to get everything back where you'd like it to be. IF YOU CAN'T LOG IN: As part of the update, we had to consolidate login names and display names. If you were used to logging in using one name and seeing your posts under a different name, then you may find it difficult to log in. For a variety of security-related reasons, I chose to keep the display names. (Some of yo

I think I will just go make one for myself, thanks.

As noted, even those Premium sites required a longer stay. And if you're not aware yet, Disney is no longer allowing you to make a longer reservation to get availability and then trim that reservation down to just the days you want- if those days aren't shown as available, then you won't be able to change your reservation, even though you already have a reservation containing those days.

Let's review, shall we? 1. OP had a mistakenly-canceled reservation for 5/21-5/24, can't re-book it, wants to share a site with someone. 2. Resident TA's confirm there's no availability for those dates. 3. TCD finds sites available, but for a wider range of dates- 5/20-6/3, wonders what OP's problem is. (Note: We now know Disney is not allowing reservation-trimming anymore, so that's not a solution either.) 4. ? ? ? 5. Internet Drama! Let's all remember that internet forums are not optimized for perfect communication. People can and do word things awkwardly, and other people can and do mis

Rule 1 of the Internet: If there is a thing, people will argue about it. :protip: The hat was put there in the first place as a giant kludge to prevent lawsuits from the management of Graumann's Chinese Theater when the original theater was sold and the contract for Disney to be able to use the image of the theater in marketing material lapsed. Rumors are that they will redo the entrance to the Great Movie Ride to match a different classic Hollywood theater (the Cathay Circle? I might not have that right), which they do have the proper rights for.

http://www.intercot.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=207111 Intercot is saying there will be an announcement "shortly" with more official details.

Intercot tweeted this morning that there will be an announcement today confirming a long-standing rumor: Disney is removing the Sorcerer's Hat at the Studios. What do you guys think: Great news, or the greatest news?
