I'm an idiot - I made the change in the wrong place.

I have now made the change in the right place, and unfortunately we're back to the behavior we were experiencing before the update:

20180113_003.jpg (7.88 KiB) Viewed 12077 times
David said he had some issues with the update, so I suppose something might not have loaded, though it says everything is up to date. I'll mention it to him in case he has an idea of something he could re-upload, but for now I'll turn off the limit on height and width for pictures using IMG tags.

This should let us add images (this is 600 px wide, though there is no restriction now)

And we can add this to the "things to deal with later" list. :twisted:

The maximum size for photos added as attachments is fairly small - given the number of photographers who post here, we may need to change that.

Added - Judy, did you use "place inline" for your photo? If not, maybe the attachments all appear at the end with a heading - haven't tried that yet.

Attachment inline:

And now I'll add two pictures of an eagle on a snowy nest, not "place inline"

You are right --- I did not use the "place inline" . Good to know I screwed up. :lol:

Right now, the maximum size for a file being added as an attachment is 256 KB - which is probably big enough for most screenshots, but my photos I take with my camera are around 3 MB (3000 KB) before I edit them - and the 1280x960 size ones I post on my website and Facebook can be 300 KB.

Added - you didn't screw up, Judy - you provided additional information for the how-to we haven't written yet! :lol:

David Hathaway has installed the patch - so let's see if we can now preview and edit posts with attachments.
20180121_005.jpg
20180121_003.jpg
20180119_003.jpg

Added - all three attachments still there after using Preview. And now I'm editing the post.

And they are still there - hooray! Thank you, David!

Hooray!

I was wondering how in the world we'd do that - that's looking very good! And I like your suggestion about it being in its own little forum in the Welcome area/category, so people can find it easily.

Posting an image while I write a how-to. This is an eagle in Texas, who should be close to laying a second egg:

testing the max size of an image in the signature line - this appears to be the largest. 250 px was rejected.
