As a result of a server upgrade we're now able to allow all registered Members to upload pictures (and other files) directly into their posts, in addition to the current method of embedding pictures hosted remotely. To start with this will be limited to 2Mb in total, and we may remove uploaded files more than 2 years old if necessary to free up space.
You can manage your attachments in My Controls if necessary to stay within your limit. -------------------- Regards,

Bogsy PePiPoo already does that :
A topic you have posted in appears thus : , rather than : . Anyhow, whilst I agree with you, the small allocation means it doesn't really cover the usual needs. Especially as most of the people using it will upload raw scans or photo images that are typically a couple of MB per image. The more computer literate amongst us would know how to use something like MSPaint to trim the files down, or i_view to increase the JPG compression to get the image down to a few 10s of KB. A newbie who struggles to upload an image to here or to TinyPic or PhotoBucket would not necessarily know enough to make the most of 1.95MB. Consequently they get to upload the front side of a PCN, and then complain they can't upload the back when asked to because there isn't enough space left and we have to direct them to the TinyPic hosting technique instead. It was just my observation that it might be better to carry on directing them to TinyPic in the first place, as was done before. |

I suppose if I looked at it from an IT angle my view would differ. I've never uploaded anything and I'd struggle if I had to. I can get my head round the complexities of the TSRGD, RTRA 1984 and TMA etc etc but ask me anything IT related and I've not got a clue. |
