It probably depends on whether the poster posted them as full photos or thumbnails, and the problem is only with the older posts. More recent ones should have either an actual photo or a clickable thumbnail.

That's all I can tell you, most of us are still stumbling around in the dark. Save important links as Bookmarks until you figure things out a bit more.

Thanks much HYACINTH -
I have a lot of busy days and I don't know if I have the time or patience to set it up as you say, but I'll give it a shot.
Mostly it's a shame because new users are totally lost and overwhelmed.
Maybe another "redo" will be forthcoming that will be more like the old system...why do people always mess with things
that are not broken?!?!?!?!

I doubt there will be another redo. There might be some changes to the Authenticate this Coach page. We thought they were coming a long time ago.

I frequent another forum for a totally unrelated topic and their forum is set up very similar to this. Most forums buy forum software and then tweak it to their needs. Unless they program one from scratch, they are probably unable to set it up exactly as they would want it.

This is the way I navigate the forum: At the top of each thread on the right is a button that says "watch thread." I click on those for any I'm interested in. You can also "watch" a particular subforum or forum. Then when I come to tpf, I can click at the top where it says "watched forums" or "watched threads" and see what is new. The forum also shows me new posts in my watched threads plus any posts that quote me in my alerts.

The main Coach forum looks pretty much the same as it used to. You always had to go from Coach to Coach Shopping to get to the Authenticate thread. There is some talk about moving it to the main forum. Apparently they have already done it in some of the other brand forums and it is highlighted to make it easier to find.

A few more for authentication before they head to the rehab sink :) This trio of black bags are all chez moi from local thrift stores.

The first is an Ergo Hobo (not sure of any specific name) 9025
approximately 12" x 9" x 2.5"

Companion Bag 9300
approximately 11" x 7" x 3"

Last is a Pocket Purse 9755
9" x 6" x 2"

Just curious-- I'm not seeing any thumbnail attachments on any posts at this moment. Photos that are directly posted are still there but all of the thumbnails that I posted as well as others are just gone with no sign that they ever existed...?
