[Forum bug] File attachment limit

[DGM]

I'm trying to attach a png file to a post but I keep getting an error message: "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."

I've never attached a file to one of my posts here before so unless my quota is zero I shouldn't be exceeding it. And I've noticed that others have been able to post images, so ...

Your (and everybody's) quota is zero. I wish they'd remove the ability to attach, but it's otherwise completely normal.

Load the image up to Imgur, get the direct link, and post that here within img tags.

The option should be gone now. Imgur is the way to go. Sorry about the storage/upload situation previously, guys.

[DGM]

Understood. Thanks, guys.

Actually, I just tried it and the img tags aren't working.

Actually, I just tried it and the img tags aren't working.

To embed images, put the image url between the image tags like so:

Code: Select all

[img]https://i.imgur.com/klFAd6S.jpg[/img]

Test cat

I did. The tags were created using the forum software button and the URL was copy-pasted, so everything should be correct.

The url you posted was to the webpage. You need a link to the picture itself. Imgur will give it to you but I don't recall the specific steps off hand. It's on the right while you're looking at the image and logged in.

The image you need is "https://i.imgur.com/odwd4ML.png" which when put in like this

Code: Select all

[img]https://i.imgur.com/odwd4ML.png[/img]

And produces



To get the url you need, right-click on the image then select "copy image address" and paste the resulting url between the img tags. The image address should always end in ".jpg"/".jpeg", ".png", or ".gif"

Got it now, thanks.
