NEW FEATURE: Photo/Attachment Upload

[speedtalk]

I've just turned on the most requested new feature. I've got to tweak the settings, so I'm looking for feedback.

Max uploads per post: 1
Max file size: 256k
As of now, images taller or wider than 700px will be posted as links. This should keep the forum from being stretched too far right.

-Thanks for getting this feature----it's super easy to use--and should eventually become a great addition to your website.

-Personally I also like the idea of having a place to list parts for sale and for parts wanted.

-Thanks for all your effort.

OK, let me try one....and Thank You VERY much.

I can't get the attachment process to work. When I click on 'reply', then open the "upload attachment' box below it, nothing happens when I click on 'browse'. If I go to 'My Photos' and do a 'copy' from the one I want, it won't paste in the Filename box. What am I doing wrong?

[Whitewater Racer]

I have noticed it being a little flaky. Try this...click on the white filename box first. Then try the "browse" button.

I can get it to UPLOAD just fine but when I try and see MY picture it says it isn't DOWNLOADED yet and it does not automatically show the picture.

Going to try a different operating system and terminal

Thanks for the tip Whitewater. Let's see if this works...

OK, it's there as a link, but since I don't know how to downsize my pix, and most of them are too big to show up directly on the posts or even as a link , I vote for a little more elbow room re size...

Bill,
There is a free program called IrfanView which will let you resize images and crop them plus many other things. http://www.irfanview.com/

Adding photo upload is a huge drag on the server. I think 256 is more than fair. Most photo programs have a feature to downsize now days. Just as we talk nice to our cars and pat them on the dash, we need to be nice to the speed talk server

Being able to post pictures is a big improvement. Saves the extra step of having to upload the picture somewhere else first and then coming back to the this post.
