It get another blank line and an IPv4 and IPV6 entry every time I set up a local development version of a website in WAMPServer.

A shout out and thanks to Gary for updating the gbThreads.
I assume that we have reached the proverbial final nail to the powerbasic forum coffin and we shouldn't post there anymore even if there is a small chance that in the future it may go up again.
I think it is better to stick around on this forum now.

Howdy, Steven!
You're welcome! I use gbThreads almost every day and am happy that I was able to develop it as a follow on to the POFFs work done by Borje.
I'm only sorry that after the forum relocation that I wasn't able to continuing capturing images. If all it took was parsing thread file and finding URLs to images, it would be an easy task. But I seem to recall getting the images took some effort to find the true path to the images. I need to give that another look. Surely after all this time and with all of the smarts in the forum, it should be possible. If my wife would take a week-end trip to see her friends, maybe I could work on it uninterrupted.
Because some thread have same-named images, I would need to capture the images with names like "0833077_graph.png", where each image name is preceded by the forum thread number. I'll definitely take another look at that. I need also to make sure the formatted threads (as displayed in gbThreads) call out the image names.

This may help. In a thread about missing images in the old forum:
https://forum.powerbasic.com/forum/user-...sion/page2
vBulletin often creates both a filedata row (the binary blob) and a filedataref row (which links it to an owner/post).
If the post has as filedataref, you would need to locate the filedata
