this new we site is by far worse than the last. it wont let me upload a picture twice. Is there a more user friendly site for third gen owners.

learning something new is great. having to learn the same thing over again because some nerd wants to modify it slightly is a waste of my time. the site should have never been taken down and modified before they tested it and worked the bugs out.

I can not be the only one

 

The site won't let you upload the same picture more than once because that is a waste of space. With the old software, people would upload the same pictures over and over, using more and more space on the server. If you want to post pics, you can upload them to your own space and link them.

Also, in the User CP, at the bottom left you'll find a link for Attachments. Here you can manage all the files you have uploaded and link from there if you wish.

Since this doesn't have to do with Appearance and Detailing, I will move your comment to the appropriate board.

 

We'd much prefer if you guys linked pictures. Attatching will only take up space on the site.

 

every time i try to link to an old attachment it does not show the pic or the thumbnail. instead it shows a link. like this:



why does it not show the pic like when you link from other sites. i included the img brackets around the image.

maybe i'm missing something?

thanks

It does not show a thumbnail because you are not using the Attachment feature in the post. Instead, you are simply "hot linking".

And the reason why it appears as a link, instead of a picture, is because the IMG tag does not work because of the format of the URL. Notice in your example, the end of the URL (?d=1143357199). The image tag does not like a link that does not end with a common image extension, such as .jpg

Notice if I drop off the ?d=1143357199 part of the URL, and then try to use the image tag, it works:

 

thanks jt. that helps out a bunch.

thanks
