How do I put more than one picture in a post.

[John Drake]

I've never had to do this, and don't have to now, but might at some time. How is it done?

It is capped at one picture per post at the moment, so you can't. I may allow for more and loosen the restrictions, though. How many were you looking to put in?

[John Drake]

None really, one is enough....I do recall having seen it done before though, I thought

[Chloe]

Yeah, and then people started to go mad and put like 20 in...and then videos too. I will probably make a distinction so that smileys and images are not interpreted by the server as one and the same and then slowly increase the image capacity so it doesn't start crashing the server. Luther recently had to go clean up a bunch of over sized pictures so i am also deciding what to do on the attachment side of things too. I don't want further site slowdown like we have had recently, so i won't leave it open ended as that just leads to abuse of the system.

IC....thank you for all the work you do behind the scenes btw, and wouldn't it just be so nice if computers really DID just do everything

[Chloe]

You're welcome, and thank for the kind words.

So, i was in a fairly good mood and decided to up the limit on images and smileys by a sizable amount, just don't abuse my good nature! :p

Videos are also increased in # per post but again post within reason. If this starts to slow down pages and or limit the ability of users to browse the site due to lag times and slow loading speeds, i will have to reduce the number again. Ideally, i would like the DB to read smileys and images differently but for that i would have to have the image path for emoticons separate to the reading of anything between image tags too, and i haven't the time nor the inclination to code that at the moment. If the need arises i will look into it again.

Again, go easy on this as the site will struggle to load if you bang 20 images into a post.

Thank you

over sized pictures

You sure that wasn't postings from over sized egos?

[Chloe]

A bunch of new smileys have been added to the site, enjoy...i will make an announcement on them shortly but i am still undecided on limits and caps on totals per post etc. I will decide some time later this week and it may be variable upon users and permissions, possible contributing status too.

Thanks.
