Can't add photos?

Post by g259fsg »

Is it just me or have we reached the attachment limit on the Forum? Don't seem to be able to add pics anymore. Anyone else had the same problem??

:S
You don't attach them, you host them elsewhere (photobucket) and copy the img links,

Well, obviously you can. Maybe it's me they don't like.
If I try and add a pic of about 80kB size I get his message:

Error

Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.


I wonder if the Board Administrator can explain.

good luck with that.

Do you not just add hosted (photobucket) images between the /img code?

Me too, I have tried posting a public flickr link between the Img-Img tags from along the top menu, it doesn't work.

Seems like some people can post images and some others cannot, ideas?

I am sure there are lots of people wanting to post POL images

Yes the attaching of pictures has never worked well on the forum. I upload my pics to Flick and then paste the image URL into here using the IMG button on the toolbar :-)

I'm no techie but I understand it is to do with bandwidth. Pictures are too data heavy to attach to the forum therefore they have to be hosted remotely. I have always used Photobucket and that seems to work fine. I'm not aware that you have ever been able to attach directly.
