Game 1499 74259, Turn 18
1.  I've played with Idols many times before.  Always works the same.  Your second Idol (and 4th, and 6th, etc) gives a curse.  Very very clear.  But, today, I looked at the game log, and I see that the log correctly shows that I played an Idol for the second time in this Buy phase, but it didn't give out a curse.

A bug?  A known bug?  A rules mistake on my part??? 

2.  I just tried to attach a screenshot of the above.  But it's no longer clear how to do this. 
[a]  When I click on the "Insert Image" icon, above, it gives the following:
No idea how to stick my jpg in between these two. 
I also tried dragging the image from my desktop.  Nope, that didn't work.
[c] Finally, I clicked on "Attachments and other Options" (directly below this screen).  But, oddly, doing this reveals *nothing* that is remotely related to attachments at all.  All that pops up are 3 options: a deselected option for "Notify me of replies", a deselected "Don't use smileys", and a pre-selected "Return to this topic."

It's like someone who designed this page just forgot to put the button(s) for "Attach image"   LOL

Any suggestions?

... under [a]... it showed {img} {img}, but with brackets, when I was typing my OP.  But that was edited out when I hit "post" (and, bizarrely, it also randomly decided to make the last part of my OP post into boldface)   

Very very odd.

Was the Curse pile empty? Did the opponent have a Lighthouse or Guardian in play?

You have to upload you file to another image hosting website and then use a link to that image and put the link in between the [img] tags.

The forum itself does not offer any opportunity to host content other than posts, I assume in an effort to minimize the server space (and thus financial load) necessary. Remember that this is a privately hosted fan project.

This is just the BBCode (essentially coding language) used for posts here. [b ] [/b ] (but without spaces) signifies boldface, and so when you put [b ] it was assume that you wanted to put boldface. Similiarly with [img ] [ /img], this signifies an image included via link, so the interpreter looked for a link in between these tags, didn't find any, and thus displayed nothing.

The answer is that opponent had a Lighthouse in play. I checked it by loading the game (149974582).
