resolved Uploading Images Query

[Surfingant]

Try resizing your pics, I know the forum is supposed to do it automatically but it doesn't work unless your internet connection is lightning fast.

You can also upload them to a photo hosting site like photobucket and just paste the code that it gives you for each pic, it 100% works.

Don't think the forum rules allow that Jarryd, could be wrong though wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last

And by the way Ant great name you've got there must be a top bloke :whistle:

[JarrydA]

Really!?!

Can an admin clarify that?, cause its how i do it because the built in uploader is so unreliable.

[Surfingant]

In the site rules: Images hosted on an external site are not allowed (multiple images can be uploaded to forum posts and community photo albums on this site)

Assuming that includes photobucket? Dunno I always just resize the images prior and don't have a problem.

[JarrydA]

Well that rule does seem pretty black and white :dry:

My bad

[tomca]

a way to have more reliable uploads is to insert one picture and upload, then edit the post inserting one picture at a time. And failing that I photobucket all the pictures and let Ellicat fix it for me when he gets on his high horse about the rules

I understand rules are rules, but this one doesnt make alot of sense to me. By allowing image hosting on image hosts, like photobucket, it means there is less bandwidth going through the afo webserver, in turn saving money.

Thats all good till someone takes the pic off photo bucket and it screw up a great thread.

It leave holes in the data base and makes the thread look useless.

Externally hosted images are not allowed.
