I am currentlyonl allowed only one photograph per post. At one time I could insert numerous photographs. Is it possible to do so again?

How are you doing it leptraps? No issues here, I use imgur as an image source. |

I tried today to create a thread and add a picture and went thru the usual procedure which I have used before and yet no picture came thru... only a short script saying attachment1........
I went thru the same procedure on collectorsecret .forum and my photo's posted as always. What gives?

I always have used the "Add Attachment" button and after the forum changed owners the attachment limit went from 3 to 1.

Thank you mothman27. I appreciate your imput and possible help. The thing is I am only trying to post 1 picture as I always have and instead of my picture popping up when it has loaded and been inserted all I get is this one line script with brackets. I have never had this happen before on this forum and never on the other one. I've tried multiple times and am still baffled. Admittedly, though I'm by no means computer savy and even you young fella's blow me away with your computer adeptness.

Nice catch there Tim ! I really like that moth. I cannot catch them up here in the northern part of Illinois however, when I travel down to Southern Illinois to collect I have found a few specimens. Trouble is most have pretty well worn colors (most of the time) so I pass them up on the hopes of finding better ones. I have just 2 or maybe 3 in my collection that have passed my tough standards. I swear these moths hatch out with worn colors....

Can one of our moderators kindly tell me why it is that when I try to post a picture now on this forum all the pops up is [attachment id="16346" thumbnail="1"}. I have posted pictures on the forum before with no issues in the past and I have no problems like this on the other forum. This is a recent developement. What does it mean and how can I fix the issue...

Sorry, I don't know. I will draw it to the attention of "admin".

There are several free hosting companies where you can easy link as many big pics as you like in one post in a thread. I guess the attachment space was limited due to the cost from proboards, but I guess Olivier will add his views here on the subject.

I am still unable to post any photo's as they simply don't pop up once I insert them using the method I've always used here. I have attempted using Imgur but, have been stymied in trying to make that work for me. Hope, proboards will come of use again otherwise I won't be able to imput much without photo's to show. Pity.

Join imgur.com, it's free! After you sign up and log in to the website you will see your user name at top right, or a green circle with the first letter (they just changed it). Hover your pointer over the username and a drop down menu will appear (seems you have to click it for the menu to appear now), then click on "images" and you will see a green "add images" button on the right, click that and upload your images there. Next click on the image you want to post here and you will see it on the left with a link menu on the right. Click "Copy" next to the link labelled "BBCode (message boards & forums)", then just paste the link in your post on the forum in the place you want the photo to appear. This way you can post as many photo links as you want inside a single forum post, and also it doesn't cost the forum owner anything in hosting fees (unlike if you upload a photo as an attachment).
Adam.

Seems to work. I like that the images are displayed much larger.

Why should we go to imgur.com? Looks like it doesn't work with Mac.
I used to upload the picks easily a few years ago.
Dear wollastoni, could you please fix this?

lamprima2 : your file may be too heavy for classic attachment. (there is a 1MB limit). For free attachment and larger picture, you can use Flickr too. That's what I am doing. Oh and for your donation, here is the button   PS: sometimes I understand why Clark has retired from managing Insectnet...
