[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 108008, member: 1"] Today the image size restrictions were updated to help save some space on the servers. Previously image uploads to the forum were set at 2mb while the gallery was set to 6mb. This was much too high, especially when you have multiple photos downloading per page. The gallery has been decreased to [B]2mb per image and now images attached to threads are re-sized appropriately to a max of 1024 height or width.[/B] If you already have your photos hosted somewhere else we encourage you to insert them into your posts by[LIST=1] [*]clicking the [I]'insert image'[/I] icon, [*]select the [I]'from url'[/I] tab [*]paste in the url of your photo (to get it right click and copy location) [*]uncheck [I]'Retrieve remote file and reference locally'[/I] [/LIST] Alternatively you can use bb code around the image URL, which you can just type as [CODE][ IMG]http://imageurl.com/image.jpg[ /IMG][/CODE] (without spaces between [ and img) Also, if you already have an image in the gallery, please do not upload it again to a forum thread - this only duplicates the image on the servers. To insert the image into a forum post from he gallery, simply click the [I]"My Photos"[/I] at the bottom of the editor and click the photo you want to insert. Select the medium size (should be default). By doing the above this will ensure everyone can see your photos without waiting 5 minutes :) Please post here with any questions. [/QUOTE]
