if the image is broken, i'm sorry but i forgot how to embed images on forums.

a relic of the past i guess

...i guess it's not entirely useless due to the existance of escargot or nina but it's certainly not what it was meant for :P

Thanks for noting. They are still in the phpBB template file in question. I now deactivated both.

You can show an image in your post by using the url of the image file itself within the img BBCode, not the url of a page that shows the image.

Dang, that sucks. I liked having mine show from when I put them in 20+ years ago. It was a neat relic.

Why'd you have to ruin it, @Becatto lol

Fun fact: ICQ shut down in June 2024. I was bought by a Russian company a few years ago and was kind of working, but no one cared.

According to some reports, when ICQ finally shut down for good a few of the remaining users said "uh oh!"
