For a while now, I have been annoyed with the way the photos are embeded into the forum. Mainly the ones where you have a discription then under it, the picture, then under that, another description, then another picture and so on. Well, you can't really read the description while seeing the picture, so I made a change.
Now, when you Attach an image Inline, it will show full size. However, if you just leave the images in the "Manage Attachments Manager", it will be in a thumbnail view. So, you can choose the way you want.
There has been some changes in the image size though. I'm only allowing a MAX size of 1mb per image and I may be lowering this down to 512kb to help with bandwidth. This is not hard to accomplish with photo editing software like PhotoScape, which I use for EVERY image I upload.
There is also a physical size limit of 800x600 pixels on the images. I do this so that they fit in most browser windows. But, I may be lowering this down to 400x300 if there are issues.
At this time, I have kept the IMG option, but if there keeps being issues reported with them, I will have to disable the IMG code from the forum. I ask everyone to upload the images to the forum.
Another reason I want you to upload images to the server here on RCH is, I HATE forum posts with all of those "X"s in them. I'm nto talking about when a server is having an issue, but I'm talking about when someone forgets they are on a forum and delete them from someplace like photobucket. By having them on my server, they will ALWAYS be here for all to view.
If you have uploaded photos to the forum via the IMG tag, please make sure to NOT delete them from the photo source. As stated, I may be disabling the IMG code soon. Any images that are embedded on the forum will still be visible, but all future uploads will have to be done through the image manager.
Due to bandwidth issues we have had lately, I may have to lower both the data size and physical size of images. I'm trying to avoid this, but it may have to happen.
If you have any questions, just post up and let me know.
