New posting abilities/lack thereof

I'm pretty sure the files are not lost.
If I click one of the file links in my sig, it goes to a "Download this file?" message, rather than a "404: file not found".

It looks like the sigs are added to the post by default. I may have to shorten it up a bit.

I had a bookmark to the shipsets/AI section. Seems to look the old way and show attachments.

As long as there is at least one thread to post in that runs under the old system, we can upload files there and URL tag-link 'em from here.

It would work just fine, as long as those threads stay the way they are.

Rank (Major/Captain/etc.) still appears - just not for the top (i.e., latest) post in a thread (which is kinda weird). And yeah, that "rate member" item is a thinly veiled popularity contest. I can't imagine anyone on this board getting a poor rating (at least not anyone who's allowed to continue posting).

Edit: I should have read a couple more threads before replying; someone else mentioned the above in the thread "Off-Topic Q for Richard".
