I don't know the details or reasons of what's going on but I think actions like the one with messing about with Alan's post are annoying, if not destructive to the forum. Perhaps there was humour in that, but I was worried that the forum possibly got hacked and what that would mean.

The excruciations of ‘Reply with quote’
This isn’t so much a quibble with the forum infrastructure as it is a pet peeve of mine, and I’m trolling for suggestions on dealing with it.
Joe_random_user creates a post with a ton of pix. Suzie_random_user hits ‘Reply with quote’ which creates a post with the entirety of Joe_random_user’s original post which of course includes all seventy-three squintillion of his pix, at the bottom of which is Suzie_random_user’s response which is “Cool!”
The problem is that I have to scroll through a honkin’ long post to get to Suzie_random_user’s message, which is a single word. This drives me crackers, particularly when I’m viewing with my phone. I suppose one solution is to admonish folks to use Reply with quote only when they need to in order to reference a specific point in the OP’s post. Personally, when I use Reply with quote I edit my post to only quote the section to which I’m replying. I really wish others would do this too.
Since most people are shite at following rules might there be some way of dealing with this softwarily? Does vBulletin provide any functionality for doing this?

I totally get that. Ideally there would be a hybrid solution... keep the thread flow as usual, but when a photo appears, allow for comments underneath it like Instagram, that way all comments pertaining to that photo could be in one place. I don't know... I'm just making stuff up.
