I want to put together a carrier group made of 2d cutouts to use with wings of glory. I have no idea where to start so any suggestions would be helpfull.

Is that a new thing? Never use to have problem sharing photos with it but can't see what I need to do to fix it.

Just use another iamge hoster.

I like the side-view style of 2d ships better, by the way.
