Certain pictures in albums that were posted no longer show up. The pictures are still there, but for some reason that I can only believe to be caused by massive amounts of brain damage, the board doesn't consider the old links valid. What seems to have happened was the URL linking system changed. Problem is, they didn't bother to consider backwards compatibility with the old style of links, so the images just screw up.
Here's an example of what I mean. The old URLs were something like http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/members/system-error/albums/ms-paint-pokemon-212-271/51986-252treecko.PNG, now they're all something like http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/members/12918/albums/3600/51986.PNG for whatever reason.
The old old style from the glorious vB3 days still work (which have a similar URL setup to the current). However, any images posted between the vB4 upgrade and sometime recently do not work anymore. So yeah, whatever deity/deities/scientific theory you chose to believe in only knows how much has been mangled as a result of this.
