Adding images to posts

Post by dissolute »

Hi everyone, unclefester asked me about this and it is a bit complex, but the new forum does support images being uploaded rather than hosted on imgur or wherever, as we've done in the past.

When you're editing, there's a row of tabs below the box where you type. The second one is called Attachments.
If you click it, it will tell you this:
If you wish to attach one or more files enter the details below. You may also attach files by dragging and dropping them in the message box.

Maximum filesize per attachment: 256 KiB.
BUT if you drag & drop, it will ONLY appear in the attachments area...
To make it appear in the message rather than just be a linked attachment, you need to click the "Place inline" button next to the attachment and it will then appear, e.g.
vandoren.jpg
vandoren.jpg (12.5 KiB) Viewed 585 times
...and you can continue on with the message
