Sorry if this has been posted already.

The following threads in the building forum seem to be missing the complementary pictures they used to have. I'm afraid there might be more threads like these. Perhaps something happened to the database during the forums outage? I sincerely hope you guys will look into this as these are invaluable tutorials offered by Residents, and I think they should stay for new Residents.

Rats!

Thanks for the heads-up, Chie: okay, forum attachments have been SUCKING BADLY. They're unreliable and, I honestly don't trust them. >.>

If anyone has the pictures to those, I can edit the threads and put 'em back.

On the whole, I'd recommend using external image hosting. Infact, foreseeing this, I wrote up a guide!
How do I insert images in my SL Forums posts without using attachments?

We're moving towards using the Knowledge Base more, and while some things have yet to be fleshed out, we may be making room for Resident contributions so we can include their great tutorials on there.

It's a lot more focused and easy to search (and from experience, even with big red stickies, I still hear a lot of people missing where to find help on the forums--it really doesn't work effectively).

Keep your pixels speaking Japanese...
