I made several different attempts with different images before posting the bug report, all ended up with the same error though the number of thumbnails it took was variable.

I use the following code to embed them (exclude all use of the symbol * ):
[*url=http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/7057/221lkp.jpg][*img]http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/7057/221lkp.th.jpg[*/img][*/url]

The images are all .jpg format hosted on ImageShack

I was attempting to have them display in rows of three images similar to the way I've done in the "Memoirs of a Paladin" thread.
And it works with any two, but whenever you add a third one you get the error ?

Sure, stuff like that is exactly what i wanna hear.

There's a few of these there and there that I've probably overlooked. Seriously, the phpbb3 templates are huuuuge, massive documents, 20+ files around 1k loc each.

One thing I do really like is the scaled down avatars :)

No, the number of thumbnails it took was variable. Four was the smallest. The most I've been able to display so far before that error message pops up has been 21.

Administration Control Panel looks funny :P

But then I guess as only 7 or so people see it, it's not a big deal.

Ah, so it's not only after changing to integrated forums today ?

Hm, white better ? We can go with black instead, and change the vertical one next to the avatar etc in the same way. I can't really decide which is better.

Well, it's hard to get a regular phpBB3 theme to work inside drupal in this way, as theres bound to be CSS collisions. If you have any issues with the current one though i'm happy to hear ideas / suggestions on improving things.
It looks fine, but it's not very functional... about two thirds of the screen is wasted space. I prefer functionality over form, is why I ask.

Yeah, the authors of the integration module core code are working on that. I think the idea is for it to open in new window/tab in fullscreen.

I vote for black for the signature separator. White for the vertical looks just fine to me.

What do you need so much horizontal space for ? And how does more make things more functional ?
