Okay, I messed around with this forum last night but not sure its complete. Go ahead and test it. Until all the kinks are worked out, anything that is posted is subject to deletion, so beware. But please give it a try.
Well, Image tags are working fine, image links seem to work fine too:
Barry, were you thinking of allowing attachments? Using image tags isn't a whole lot different from posting urls- it just displays the pictures in-line. Attachments would allow folks to upload stuff (pictures, documents, etc.) from their local disk. This would be handy for them if they don't have a site to upload pictures to, but I can imagine you might not want to enable that feature..
I was playing around with the attachments settings also. It just got too late for me brain to function properly so I shut down. I need to look up and see how much server space I have left, now that I've deleted the old board files off of it. If plenty there, I'll be inclined to allow attachments, up to a limit of course. If donations keep coming in, I would be able to purchase a bit more disk space on the server.
We belong to a forum that charges $19 a year to be a member. Being a member means you have the privilege of posting attachments, pictures, etc. on the forum servers. The notation "NES Member" sits below your name. It seems to work well. I've given money to this forum and will again, but if you were to start a regular membership I'd be for that, too.
Note that the forum itself is still free and available to all. There is an NES Member forum that only members can access, but everything else is open to the masses.
You can only post pictures in the Photo Gallery forum. You have to open an account at Photobucket or have it in some other website. You then upload the photo into your account. At Photobucket they make it easy to translate the picture to computer language. Flickr did not work for me. You enclose the photo address in "
You actually can post pictures in the other forums, but as a courtesy to people on dialup you're asked not to. I've seen pix in the other forums, so I know it's possible. It's better to keep them here.
What is the difference between a link and an attachment? That is probably what I saw. Most forums say you may not post attachments, whatever those are.
An attachment is a file (text or image) that gets placed/stored on the beesource server. If I allow attachments on the forum, there will need to be more donations to support the increase on the server.
