Error messages when posting questions in website forums

Forums
Hi
Every time I post a something at an OpenMx forum, I get the following error message:
warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /private/var/openmx/drupal-6.16/sites/all/modules/mollom/mollom.module on line 1439.
The post does get saved despite the error message. Thus, this is not a real problem for me, just want you to know.

Piebald Image Link

Forums
We talked about this at the beginning of the summer, but it was never followed up on, so now, instead of always going to the about piebald page when the logo is clicked as Michael had it, that behavior only happens on the front page. Otherwise it takes you home, as users generally expect.

Features page - broken links?

Forums
I was searching for multiple groupe examples [Google in side bar] and was directed to:

http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/openmx-features

The phrase "Multiple Groups" looks like it links to an example, but only returns to the same page. This is true for all of the listed features with the exception of "Integration with R". It would be helpful if the features were linked to examples, the on-line documentation, or a wiki page.

Including images in forum posts

Forums
I am beginning to think about how to work up discussion of the GUI. But to discuss the GUI without images seems unnecessarily difficult.

Of course, we can include images by linking externally. Place the image on some publicly accessible spot (picasa, photobucket, smugmug, etc.) and link to it.

But should there be some easy way to include images in a forum post?

Formatting code blocks and output blocks in the Forums

Forums
I am wondering if we should come to a consensus about how to format code blocks and output blocks as we post them to the forums.

It seems to me that it would be nice to choose a format that would automatically preserve text spacing and tabs so that things don't become left justified when we want them indented. It would also be nice if a fixed pitch font were chosen. I don't think we need to go as far as syntax coloring. But if the block were highlighted in some way, that would be useful.
