Adding photos for idiots?

[kb&2dogs]

Help!!! How do you put the pictures on?

Here's a real simple walk through guide that Mystery Machine posted in the FAQ's.

The method described in Mystery Machine's tutorial will certainly still work.

Alternatively, with this new forum software version (phpbb3), you can now upload your photos directly. In the page from which you send messages, scroll down to where the "Browse" button, and you can upload directly from your machine onto the delica.ca domain.

I've set the maximum file size to about 250k per photo, and set a limit of 7 photos per post.

Hope this helps!

Good to see other squares around.

On that note, perhaps someone can explain why many of these uploads show as broken links? For example the link above displays, to me, as broken. Thanks.

You are probably using Internet Explorer... for some reason it is not compatible.

Firefox and pretty much any linux/mac browser seems to work just fine.

There's two general categories of image on this site:

One category is external links (such as the one in Kevin's signature above):





The second category of images would be uploaded attachments that reside on the delica.ca site itself (when posting a message, scroll down and it gives you the option of uploading a photo as an attachment.

I haven't had any difficulty viewing either type of photos myself (I'm using Firefox), but would like to figure out the source of this issue.

phpBB3 (the forum software used for this board) is still in the "Release Candidate" stage -- If it is a software bug, it may be resolved in later releases.

Well, lookee there, it displays properly via Opera. Funny enough I chose IE assuming it would be less likely to have issues with this site. [Insert wisecrack here to do with microsoft and compatability]. Thanks for the tip.

Yes, it is entirely an IE issue, both 6 and 7 fail to show the photos. I use Firefox and it works fine. But just to make things really weird, in Firefox I have an addon installed called "Agent Switcher" that, when a website asks the browser what it is, lets Firefox report it is Opera or IE. If I tell Firefox to claim to be IE, then the photos don't show either! Obviously Firefox is really good at emulating a piece of junk.
