seven Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Time was all images I attached to my comments would display just above the comment itself. Lately such postings appear off page via a hyperlink. I realise this must have something to do with either file size - which I watch - or pixel dimensions. Could anyone assist - I'd like to know the requisite dimensions/ size to have the demonstration picture show beneath the original. Thanks in advance.

pmj Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 A quick peek in the code seems to suggest that it needs to be smaller (in the width dimension) than 512 pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_purcell Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 For an image to post inline in a thread, there must be 3 things: 1) Image must be a JPG or GIF format file 2) Caption filled in 3) Image must be 511 pixels wide, or less.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 This is also covered in the <a href=/frequent-questions#upload_forum_images>photo.net FAQ</a>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 So 511's the answer. Gentlemen, I thank you for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Hi,<br> I hope anybody is still reading it and can answer, although the thread is a bit old now.<br> Supposing I have posted an image which is too big (and thus diplayed as a link) - how can I change it?<br> If I choose "edit your comment" I can only change the text but not replace the picture :(<br> Is this a bug or it is thought so?<br> Thanks<br> Maria<br> BTW: now the "image must be smaller than 512 pixels in width or whatever is no longer displayed in the upload menu - just checked. I am using win XP professional, and MSIE 6.0 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_daalder Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 The only way to fix your problem is to "delete" your comment. However, to prevent having to re-type your comment, you can first "copy" the text to the Windoze Clipboard, then make sure your attached image is indeed 512 pixels, or less, wide and repost by "pasting" the text and re-attach your image. No bugs at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 thanks, yes, this works. <br>However, it has the disadvantage of changin the date when the comment was posted.<br>Not a problem in my case, but what happens if there were answers to the comment?

peter_daalder Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Sure! You got a point there... If you really need to replace the previous image as a link with a smaller 'visible' version, but didn't want your comment to become out of context, I would just leave the original and make a remark about it in your new comment. After all, the previous version is only visible as a short blue-coloured hyperlink - people don't 'have' to click on it if they don't want to, whereas a 'visible' image could indeed be more annoying (if you wanted to get rid of it, but keep your comment intact, that is...).
