I think the reason it's coming up as an attachment rather than a small version of your picture is that what you posted is a docx (Word) file, not a graphic (JPG, GIF, etc.)
It's probably has to do with how you web-scraped it from KAF, which means you'll need an extra step or two to get it to upload as an image.
Another thing I just discovered is that only logged-in users can see attachments, whereas -IMG- links work for anyone.
I'd have to see the actual email, including headers, to be sure it came from Yahoo, but assuming it did come from Yahoo, I don't think confirming the unsubscribe will make things any worse and might result in some relief.
What I think about Cindy's situation isn't printable here.
I will try to find time to post updated counts of 'recipes by' in a few days.
I may also post counts of 'recipes posted by', too.
I've modified the member profile page to give a breakdown of recipes posted by that member separate from the topics started count. (As of when I wrote this note, for example, Rottiedogs has 124 recipes posted, BakerAunt has 155 and Sarah Wirth has 326.)
Now you see why I will not have anything to do with yahoo groups! I'd recommend doing the unsubscribe, but I won't guarantee it gets rid of the spam. I've been trying to get off one specific yahoo group (that I never subscribed to!) for years, and there's another one I get email from every now and then that I never joined, either. (In both cases, I believe I was added by the group manager WITHOUT MY CONSENT.)
There's supposed to be an 'unsubscribe from all yahoo groups' option, but I'm not sure it has ever worked.
Sorry to hear about Cindy.
Something to think about: I saw some links in some of the 'Old BC Threads' posts that have links to recipes that were on the KAF BC. (For example in the Texas Sheet Cake thread.)
If the recipes being referred to get uploaded here, we may want to change those links at some point. But at least they go to a valid KAF page that talks about the transition rather than generate a 404 (page not found) error.
It was probably timing out, I had it set to allow editing for something like 10 days, so I set it to a very large number so posts are essentially editable forever.
In some online forums, allowing unlimited editing of posts leads to flame wars, but I don't honestly see that happening here.
If they didn't have 'by xxxx' in the title, they weren't in that list. There are about 40 of mine out there without attribution (which seems pointless if it's your own recipe). One of those is actually BigLakeJudy's molasses cookie recipe; I just corrected the title on that one to be consistent. (I also think that one's now out there twice, with rottiedogs having just uploaded it, too.)
There are a bunch of recipes out there with the attribution in the body, might be tricky to include them in the next list. Most of those appear to have it on line 2 of the body, which I might be able to break out. But if I can do that, it might make more sense to just write a quick program to update the subject header to add the attribution there.
I might not get to that right away, though.
