handling picture attachements
Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2006 9:58 am
Hello,
generally there are two ways to attach a picture to your posts:
1. Directly to the body
Today we've added an option to easily upload and attach a picture directly to the message body. In the message editor (the same applies to the private message editor, too) there is a button labeled “Upload picture”. Hit this button to upload and place the picture directly to the message body:
There is a maximum image size, currently set to 800x800 pixels for this feature. If the image exceeds 800 pixels in either width or height, it will get automatically downsized so that it doesn’t exceed 800 pixels in any way.
This feature saves the picture on the server and prompts you to place it left/right/center justified in the text. One caveat: if the original picture is larger than 800x800 pixels, it will get saved in its downsized version! There won’t be any original version available on the server.
This feature allows you to create a gallery of your own uploaded images that will be available to you every time you hit the “Upload picture” button and you may then choose a picture from the gallery to be placed in the message.
2. As an attachement
If you need to post larger images or simply don’t need to place the image directly to the body of your message, you can use the standard “Add an Attachment” feature in the message editor. This will save any picture size on the server. If the picture exceeds certain limits, currently set to 800x800 pixels, it won’t be diplayed in its original size on the forums, but rather in the automatically downsized version. However, you can still click on the downsized version in the attachements section of the posted message and a new window with the originally sized picture will open.
