Hi I just got a membership so I could attach photos using the built in editor but when I post them they only show up as tiny thumbnails any one know how to fix this so you dont have to click on the pics to be able to actually see them?

This is the way that the forum software functions for two reasons:

1. if you upload a number of images, it keeps the topic from getting crazy long and speeds page loads.
2. if you upload a number of images, if you just click the arrow to move to the next image instead of having to scroll up/down a bunch. Pretty much like a gallery.

However, we'll be upgrading the board software to a newer version soon as this may change. But for now, they upload as clickable thumbnails.

Thanks Bryan, The bandwidth issue makes plenty of sense.

ok so im still confused it seems to me that others are linking pics just fine eg: http://www.thumperta...s/page__st__580 look at the last post that was from today and all the others full size photos I have photobucket and flicker but keep getting a not allowed code???

think i got it

They're not uploading to our site, they are hosting the image elsewhere and inbedding it in their post. Essentially, a call to an external image when the topic is loaded.

Bingo.

Again, with version 3.3 of our forum software coming soon, this may change.
