This is quite interesting. Anything that improves the way the forum handles images must be good.
Of course this method does mean we have to post our images into our individual gallery first....something I've tended to avoid.
Quite often in the middle of a thread we want to imbed an image or several images to illustrate a point. The necessity of having to first post those images into a gallery, would seem to be a side step.
Is there not a way to multi post direct into a thread direct from our computers ....like we do from Flickr?
No way do I see this idea as a way to stop using Flicker. I will continue to use Flicker because I want my images in one central location from where I can post them in this and various other forums and be viewable in Flicker albums. I haven't used the forum gallery in a long while, this alteration won't change that. I don't think we want the expense of the additional storage and bandwidth which will result from the storage of the images with the forum hosts the forum can be slow enough at times. My understanding is bandwidth is expensive. Using Flicker is free up to 1000 images and the user pays Flicker over that. The hosting bill for the forum is less if heavy users use Flicker, or whatever other image host they select.
What would be much more useful would be to be able to post several regulated images via the 'post image' button, from our desktop.
For documentary images like screenshots where I want to show a method, I don't want to clutter up my Flicker gallery, not this gallery for that matter, with demo shots and screenshots of settings.
Now I can't resize this window either???
The windows need to be resizable like they were.
Not only that the blank para separation has been stripped out, so we just have an unreadable block of text.
Sussed it, Double returns...
