Pretty muchDoes that always work?
Pretty much
Is this forum self hosted or provided by a third party? I'm wondering if it's a software issue or config/setup related. I see it's a payfor platform so if it's a bug, they should fix it.This is an ongoing challenge for many members. The images system has been messed up for quite some time on the forum with no sign of hope for the future.
The best way to improve the situation. Is for the poster to select thumbnail when uploading a photo.

Thanks for the info. I'd love to help, but it doesn't sound like something I could assist in solving, short of a membership I guessIt's a VERY LONG Story. Here is the short version. Several of us maintain websites and other forums. The difference is that they are all either small or require membership fees. This is the only free forum of its size that I know of. Our only source of revenue is premium memberships and a little bit of Amazon patronage. We do not want to Ram advertising down our member's throats and therefore don't generate advertising revenue.
We started as a small forum supporting a small Calgary user base. We purchased a self hosted license for Xenforo. We used to self host on a private company server that donated space to us. That company's other client server needs grew rapidly and soon overpowered our own needs and rightfully prioritized other paying needs. The server crashed a while back and a decision was made to buy a hosting service instead and move us off of a donated service to a paid hosting service self funded by premium memberships. We restored a backup to the new hosting company. But they DID NOT LIKE how big our image storage was cuz it took up too much space on their server. They bought and installed an add-on to compress the images and it all went to hell from there. They kept dragging their feet saying they would fix it, but never did. We have resigned ourselves to the fact that they never will. We are trying to develop alternatives but fundamentally we think hosting on the Xenforo Software Servers is a better all around solution. Unfortunately, that costs money we don't have right now.
In summary, it's not a Xenforo bug. It's a server support problem and perhaps a server expertise problem. We are living with it until we can develop a satisfactory affordable alternative.
For now, the best solution we have been able to develop is to use the display as thumbnail option. It seems to be the most reliable.
You’re lucky they don’t on mine.They work on my ipad.
Susq - This totally deserves a separate post to inform members.It's a VERY LONG Story. Here is the short version.
How much for Xenforo hosting? Just curious.
Following up on this with a thought. Susq / David have you tried turning off all caching on the server? Maybe you already ran down that path already sorry if it is a FAQ.It's a VERY LONG Story.

So assuming it's $250USD/month we need 68 paying members.$100 US a month for the standard package.
If we exceed the limits, that goes to $250 US per month.
