How To Ask a Question or How To Upload Photos.

[AB]

Go advanced, select the paper clip icon, upload the pics you want

then type some text, then select the paper clip icon again and select the attachment you want Attachment 5530

Write some more text, then select the paper clip icon again, select another attachment

Attachment 5530

Is this what your trying 2 achieve?

But don't all the pics just end up at the bottom of the post anyway?

EDIT: I didn't realise you could do that...haha...Thanks Todd!!!

No worries AB, That's the only way i do it, the only thing i hate is it doesn't use my original file names, would make it so much easier when doing multiple pics. Oh well I'm sure there is a logical reason for doing what it does, its something probably 2 do with duplicate files issues

[AB]

Yep, I assume that this would cause problems if duplicate names were uploaded so it just changes the attachment in numerical order of how many attachments are on the forum, etc.

Kind of like the Y2K bug where the whole world was apparently going to crash...lol

Makes sense I guess!

I didnt know that either.. Thanks.
Next question, how come some ppl seem to be able to post nice big pics ( sammigq on toolangi thread) and I can only do the little attachments ??

I think she used photobucket Kat...When you show a picture that is on another website like photobucket it shows it big.

When you attach a picture to the forum it shows a thumbnail of the picture and you need to click it to make it bigger.

Unfortunately I can't make the thumbnails bigger as it risks crashing the forum.

who on what thread *L*, will have 2 have a look sorry Kat, bit behind on the forum @ the moment..... could be many things, do you go advanced when doing the post with pics, I'm pretty sure ( if i remember correctly ) and I'm not sure why but it you reply 2 a thread and use the insert image insertimage.png icon the pics come out smaller than going advanced and using the paper clip attach.png icon.
And also as AB has mentioned Photobucket makes them display bigger

No worries Scotty, Its easy 2 focus on something so much the answer could be staring u in the face and u just can't see it, I do it all the time *L*

hey AB,
When I try to upload a pic it only asks me from a url not on my computer. This doesn't change even in the advanced. Unfortunately, I don't have a photobucket account and not keen for one either. Is there someway to get this fixed?
