Posting photo's (1 Viewer)

[BWD1]

G'day everyone,
Just wondering what the go is with posting pic's, I wanted to pist a few of an 80 in the expedition vehicles thread and it said id reached my quota.
Is there a limit that a newbie to the forum is allowed to post,,do I need a certin amount of posts to be allowed to posts more pic's.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Brian.

You DID read the "required reading" User Guide thread, correct?

https://forum.ih8mud.com/ih8mud-help-corner/253317-ih8mud-user-guide.html


If you had, then this might stand out:

Noobies: Once you've registered, you fall into the 'noobie' category, and are stuck here until you post 10 times in a non-Chat area (or, you get 10 posts to prove to the masses you aren't a spammer...lol) You cannot upload an Avatar yet, your attachment folder is pretty darn tiny, you are limited to 5 total PM's (Private Messages) and there are some other limits in place, including limited capabilities within your Signature line. Participate, and you'll move up quickly. (and no, hitting 10 doesn't INSTANTLY upgrade you...gotta wait for the server to process first!)

Thanks Woody,
ok you got me there, no I didnt read it to be honest, I was a bit excited and wanted to get straight into it.
I understand now, need to get more posts up and the server needs to process it first before my limit is increased.

Thanks again,
Brian.

1 thing tho, I've had about 4 posts in different areas yet my post count is still only 1, is this due to not being processed by the server yet?

I believe that any items in the "Chat Section" don't count towards your post count.

Ok cool, thanks for that.

posting pics

im a member of a bunch of forums on different topics and they all have preferred, better methods for each forum.
im a long time user of tapatalk and photo bucket on my iPhone and tablet i also have a pc.
whats the best/ easiest method to upload here?

Simply use the Attachment system. Every user with 250+ posts has unlimited attachment space, and users with 10-250 simply have a LOT. Storage is cheap

Outside hosting services seem to be problematic.

Outside hosting services seem to be problematic.

I used to be able to link to photos on Flickr - that functionality doesn't seem to work anymore. Which photo hosting services are currently working with ih8mud these days?

 

[woody]

I've never used a photo hosting service...every member with 250+ posts has unlimited attachment space anyways, and too many "outside" hosting services change their protocols and break the links.

Odd...I repeated my post above...lol

 

[plutonius]

Got it. Basically I'm trying to figure out how to post images that show up full size rather than as thumbnails, using the "Insert image" button rather than "Add Attachment". Maybe it's self explanatory...I just don't have much time on the latest version of the forum. I'll read on...

 

[woody]

upload the 5 images as part of your Post Reply (see the "attach file" button)...click "insert as full size" once the max 5 images are uploaded

Just that easy

 

[plutonius]

A ha! I was making it far too complicated for my own good. Thanx Woody!

Guess I should have read the required reading too....

 

[arcteryx]

alternatively, get a flickr or picasa account, upload your pics there and paste the URLS into message. large images with no size restrictions (assuming the upgrade still has them, I havent used the uploaded in quite some time)

When I try to upload photos to my album it says 'file to large', I brought them down to 800x600 and then to 640x480 and they are under 300kb.... What is my maximum size I can upload to my album?

I find nothing in your account settings that should limit photo uploads...are you trying to use the Attach File link (ie: immediately below this reply box) or in the Gallery https://forum.ih8mud.com/gallery/ ?

 

[Silverbullet1997]

In The Album, I took some screen shots. Tahuya1.jpg is 640x480 154kb

 

[woody]

fixed...I had the photo size limit set assuming kb, not bytes...updated now, should work with a 3mb or smaller file

 

[Silverbullet1997]

Their posted! Thanks Woody.
