Until I can find another decent embeddable resource, postimages.org/ will allow you to post an image for free and copy the generated link. I'm still on the hunt for a better solution. Hopefully I can get some time away from work this weekend. |

Richard,
Just offering a suggestion to move the JATO forum to another product.
Too many folks are having too many problems uploading pictures to their build threads.
All the pictures I've uploaded to my build threads are now gone, which makes any future members hoping to see how somebody built their turbine somewhat pointless.
I'm also a member of lawnmowerforum.com and have never had a problem uploading pictures and the pictures are still visible years after the thread was created.
Just a thought
Regards
Jeff

Hey Jeff, sorry for the delay. I've found another hosting solution for adding images, though I would recommend users finding their own hosting alternatives to ensure content doesnt get purged. You can click the 'add attachment' button and anything you post will go to our forum's file storage and should be safe from being deleted, but it can become costly as the need arises to add on storage space. I have considered migrating what I can to a new system, but if I were to do that, I would want to engineer that soulution from the ground up so it will better suit our needs. In any case, there is now a new button that uses a different image host. Its pretty easy to use, just click it, drag an image to it, then upload and it will automatically add the link to your post. Cheers!

Hey Stephan, is the new button not working for you? I had to change to a new hosting solution because the old one seems to have dropped support for anonymous user uploads to their site. The new one seems to be working for the time being. What issues are you experiencing?

Hi Richard, The domain name postimg.org is down for quite some time now, I find this quite odd but maybe it's not going to come back online. On their "contact us" page it says: "postimg.ORG domain is locked by Registry, no prior notice. Please update codes embedded in your websites. Replace "postimg.org" to "postimg.cc" " This seems to work, for example my avatar picture is not available with the original link s32.postimg.org/3rftu6ykl/IMG_6071.jpgbut with postimg.cc it works: s32.postimg.cc/3rftu6ykl/IMG_6071.jpgDo you have a global search-and-replace tool which could be used to replace postimg.org by postimg.cc everywhere?

Hey Alain, nice find. I'm not sure its going to e possible to do a find and replace through any feature that proboards provides, but I may be able to write a script that does it.

Hi Richard, thanks, it would be great if you could do that! This forum has so many interesting threads that it would be a pity if pictures are missing.

Is there a way to limit the posted image size so they automatically shows up the same size in a thread? It is quite annoying to have to manually downsize every image in Photoshop before posting them, if not they become so big that you have to scroll to see the whole image...  |

Yep, give me a few minutes and I'll write something that takes care of that.
Edit: Try that now. Any image should limit itself to 50% of the parent container horizontally, and autoscale vertically. Let me know if thats what you had in mind. If not, I'm open to other tweaks.

Added a thing that allows you to regain the old functionality as well. If you really want an image to post in its original size (up to the max width of the container), you can add a class to the generated image BBCode and set it to 'huge' and it should circumvent the new behavior.
[img src="https://linkToMyImage.png" class="huge"]
Enjoy!

It looks great Richard, a relief to no longer have to edit every photo before posting. Thanks a lot!
