Beautiful photos. As always.

Gorgeous. Hummingbirds are the best, we keep a feeder attached to my kitchen window in the summer months to keep them around.

I can't see the pics in your post, above, but I can bring them up in a new tab. Stunning pictures.

I notice you hosted them at ImgBB. That's the host I use for most pics. It takes some getting used to.
I just went through all my pics a few days ago for the forum I'm building, which has about 300 pics, so far (computer game pics). Had to make sure I had all my albums and sub-albums properly organized, which isn't the easiest thing to do at ImgBB. If you make an effort to keep on top of things, it's easier in the long run.
All that said, I've had pics there for several years now with almost no problems.

What do you think of their service?

(Now that I've posted, I see your pics also.)

Edit: I also just came cross a post from a moderator where they chided someone for necro'ing a thread that was more than 30 days old, which apparently violates PB rules. So I just did that too with this thread.
I can see applying that rule in the support boards, but here?
This thread, for example was only on the second page of this board. If I can't interact with threads older than 30 days, I won't even bother coming here, but maybe that's the idea.

Hi, Bob

Here, on the General Talk board we have eased up on the 30-day necroposting rule. We’ve realised that for a newcomer or someone that is not overly familiar with forum etiquette, getting a hand-slap for reviving an old thread can be embarrassing and May cause members to shy away from participating.

If the post is sincere in its content, adding to the conversation in a constructive way – or in a way consistent with previous posts in the thread, then we’ll let it stand. This may perhaps bring life back to the thread garnering further engagement from others – as well as foster a more positive environment for the member to continue participating.

This obviously does not apply to spam, a member that "me too" replies to a bunch of old threads, or if there is a current thread that has a similar topic.
All of this will apply to the boards under Forum Customization and the Running Your Forum board as well.

*However, the support board will continue to keep a tighter rein on the necroposting and no hijack rule as it’s important to avoid confusion of mixed issues and solutions. Also, it is important to keep current issues with current solutions, even if it is an old issue or a ‘simple how-to’.

System error threads will be locked after the issue is resolved. There was a tendency to seek out previous error threads and post a "same thing again"-type of message.

I hope this has clarified the current thinking/stance with regards to old threads both here and support. To aide in this, all threads from 2021 and older on both the GT and Support boards have been locked.
