    On the Quick Reply click Go Advanced to get to Manage Attachments just like you did on the "Old " system. Worked for me.

    There is no difference in the “upgrade” it’s exactly the same as it was, next time don’t be afraid to say AnthonyG instead of someone.

    Quick Reply has always been disabled on this site, I enabled it so you could reply to a post, instead of having to click a button. If you like the old posting interface, click on go advanced as JayBros stated.

    If you want to add a image to a post via the quick reply box, simply click the picture button next to the film strip that’s to the right of the smilie icon.

    Actually I have not been able to login since Sunday on my iPad. It said there was a Data Base error. Guess those of us on Safari are SOL!

    Thats your browser cache, there has been no db error on the site, since the upgrade was completed.

    Thats because there are none other than the fact that i enabled quick reply, which Lamont always had disabled, no idea why.

    Clicking "Post Reply, is the same thing as clicking "Go Advanced", quick reply just gives you the benifit of posting without clicking a button & going to another page.

    No image settings changed for the upgrade, vb doesnt alter anything forum related to settings.

    The only things that limit size of an image is what Lamont ha always had set, one bing dimensions 800x600 & the actual size of the file itself, which is about 100k for a jpeg.

    Hi easysuper,

    Re: I hate upgrades

    I cannot say that I hate them. However, as posted elsewhere, these recent changes make me do things differently than before. And, it did take some additional changes to the site and some new techniques for me to learn.

    As for photos, I have always and only uploaded them from my computer; never from any other device.

    Jerry Baumchen

    PS) Now, let's see if I can upload a photo: Voila, there it is; same as always.

    I hate working in customer service.

    If you really want to help get this fixed, you are going to have to supply more details than just "it doesn't work".

    For starters, did you try what Anthony suggested ??

    You sure? My experience has been if you use the Manage Attachments method then the photo size is limited as you say. But if you use the Insert Image icon in the toolbar then the size limit was several megabytes. However. the forum s/w would resize the picture down to a standard size and file size. If you looked at in the Manage Attachments dialog the file size would be kb even if the upload was mb.

    If you use the insert option & use "link from a URL", its not the same thing.

    I didn't think to say I'm referring to upload option, not URL.
