UPDATE - Uploading Pictures to the Forum

[admin]

As of today, uploading images to the forum as attachments is allowed.



Once your account has a few posts and some time on the forum, this option will become available to you. Newly registered members must still use an external photo sharing site to share images.

To upload pictures to posts and threads as attachments, underneath the post editor when writing a post is an area for 'additional options'. Here you can use the 'manage attachments' button to upload and include images in your post.

If anybody has any issues using image attachments, please let us know.

the system wont even let me upload a 8kb jpg so this is all pointless anyways, the feature does not work

trying to upload an 8kb jpg i get this message:

Exceeds your quota by 5.9 KB

it is 300 pixels by 155 pixels so it is within the current guidelines

it also says my upload limit is 500 bytes?

There has to be an issue behind the scenes, as I know that this does work.

That's why I still use Photobucket.

i agree with everything thats been said here, but the issue is that the feature does not work, id upload alot more pictures and do alot more informative posts if it did, i will not mess with a 3rd party for pictures, if you guys want good content for the forum you need to get this feature working

you want really good posts then we need the ability to make really good posts, how can we be top contributors when we cant contribute, my 2 cents


i think the problem is the upload limit is 500 bytes and he meant to put it as 500 kb, just a simple error is what is causing it, theres alot of difference between 500 bytes and 500,000 bytes

Submit a support ticket, that's why it's there. Right up beside the Scrap Monster button.

edit

I guess ill post here to, I can only imagine how much it costs already to run this forum, I would guess that pictures that size would increase their server needs dramatically. I to wish it would work especially on my home page albums section I tried a few times with no luck. that being said admin has to make decisions that make sense to them. I can tell they are trying to make improvements all the time

[admin]

Yup, allowing attachments increases server usage. That's life, lol.

Anyway I dug deeper into the limitation and adjusted it again. I'm about 90% positive you guys should be able to upload attachments to your posts now.

I made an adjustment in the wrong place before my previous post, I'm not trying to limit you guys to tiny thumbnails you need photoshop to create Should be good to go now, but as usual if there are still issues let me know and I'll keep diggin.

I think there is another issue, as I dont have an option to upload pictures directly from the computer.

[admin]

Fixed.

its working now but it would be nice to see the picture in the post rather than a link, all in good time i guess

[Jonniebrass]

I don't seem to have a problem, however I do notice that with the app, images load a bit slow you have to wait a few seconds before they are fully loaded. Unless there's another issue but that's an issue for a support ticket or a separate thread all together.

You can do that too.

I inserted the image below (which is essentially the attachment, embedded), using the button highlighted in the image. In the 'advanced' editor you will see that button.

Click the button, choose the attachment and it will be inserted into your post wherever your cursor is.

If you have more than one attachment they will appear as thumbnails, so you'll have plenty of room. It's showing full size because there's only one attachment. If that's what you meant anyway.
