google-fu used to be great to find in-depth esoterics but SEO has seriously killed functionality, that degraded aspect along with them recently deleting the 'cache' feature pizzes me off bigtime, so now gonna testdrive alternate engines.

realization came when trying to find a previous post related to le coq gaulois which I knew I had posted about in TCL but came up zilch on goog, then further refined to specific maker but also zero hits...



...so,
can add a positive note here regarding the internal search on the forum which is good news,
it actually works!

minor note on the google cache thing just in case anybody else has used that helpful thing and misses it now since it's
been put in the google graveyard...

...just this morning was trying to access an old ad:



But now no easy button cache click option and redirects to 404:


Easy hack tho & was glad to find,
simply add cache: prefix to your search query & voilà!

so,
cache:https://
racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/138000/common

did the trick!

I see text of what I guess the coding behind the scenes sees the images as, but no photos. Just a big blank space with awkward text at the top.

I frequent another forum that uses this same software and it is doing the same thing. Here's what one of the moderators over there found...
(First image was pasted from clipboard; second image used insert image from the editor)

My first image, having been directly pasted into the message, ends up with an image address: https://www.rollsroyceforums.com/cd...rums.com/attachments/1708797011264-png.35682/
That means it's being hosted by rollsroyceforums.com.

The second has the image address: https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024/02/26/opinion/24Damour/24Damour-square320.jpg
That means it's hosted by nytimes.com

One topic where I can now see no images, even some of which used to present themselves when the topic had started out, is https://www.rollsroyceforums.com/threads/arnage-wheres-my-obd-2-plug-what-does-it-look-like.33602. To a one, all of the images that are not coming up in that topic (URLs below) are hosted by rollsroyceforums.com.

This is a reply to show nesting and hidden parts of the conversation.

Edit - MandatoryOutsidePossum's reply requires an extra click to view, and my reply. Not sure if a this post (a reply to a reply to a reply) requires more clicks or not..

if you click the 3 dots in the upper right next to your profile picture there is a nesting option i believe you can turn off
