The tech used to run this forum is ancient. The interface is an early 2000's design with a feature set that, while nice for its time, is kind of like an old Philco compared to what else is out there these days...it's kind of a cute anachronism but that's the way it is...

Whatever the split, it's not nearly enough. 1 Rolex each year per 8000 residents of planet earth. The population is growing faster than Rolex can add factories.

Seems easy enough! Just click the little 'envelope' icon when posting in a thread.

It's best to use a 3rd party hosting site for the images, like imgur.com. Obtain the link to your image from there and then just paste here. No need to 'upload' directly onto TRF.

I don’t agree. ALMOST All our websites (over 1200) are relics from the 2000s. They function well and we find users enjoy the nostalgia and practicality of older formats. Also, there’s a caveat and that is that the malicious out there write scripts (viruses) to attack the highest number of websites feasible. Older websites tend to be excluded from said attacks because they’re outliers.

I personally enjoy the simplicity of TRF and wouldn’t change a single thing. As I said, One of my companies runs tons of websites focused on traffic and ad revenue only. We stopped caring about the “latest and greatest” designs and back end technology decades ago. They serve their purpose

Welcome to the forum.

Where are you trying to load images from?

Welcome to the forum. The easiest and most favorable for the forums webmasters/bandwidth is that you use a third party host for your images. I use the following.

1. Imgbb. com
2. Upload your image(s)
3. Choose - do not autodelete
4. Choose - BBCode Full linked
5. Copy - the whole shown links to the end of your TRF post.
6. Sometimes they’ll add an advertising link at the end of your images. You’ll notice it if you uploaded say one or two images and there’s more links than the images you uploaded. If they’ve added an AD link it will always be the last.
7. Erase that last link after you’ve copied to your post on TRF and before publishing your post.

My experience is they include an Ad link at a ratio of about 1 in 10 uploads, so you won’t always see one.

The service is free and there’s no requirement to sign-up.

Hope that helps

The latest estimates I‘ve seen are about 1.3 million. As for the model distribution? Too many small size women‘s bling models, too few SS sports models ��
