Increase in size of photos

[garythesign]

I noticed the the file size has increased from 2 to 10mb

Files are uploading much faster

Thanks for the upgrade

We can look forward to massive photo's now then filling the entire screen and then everyone "replying too all" to really rub it in

TX.

Well done teamPH super quick uploads now

Yep, we now have our own image uploader and are no longer using Thumbsnap for this. Functionality should still be about the same and pretty much look the same too, so we wondered how long it would take for someone to notice

I wondered why I could see the image I uploaded yesterday (work firewall blocks thumbsnap images from being displayed but copes with being asked to upload one)

I just thought it was a glitch

Don't like it. Keep it in beta for oooh, about eight years, please

It's been bigger than 2Mb for years, they couldn't work out how to change the text

It seems to increase the size of smaller images, leading to a decrease in quality. I posted an image of a book cover in the "books you have read" thread, it's 295 x 414 pixels and reasonable quality, but appears much larger on the forum. Presumably that's because of the `?resize=720` on the end of the image tag. I can see why that would be a good thing to prevent massive images in the normal thread view, but it's a bit strange to increase smaller ones.

So how long was Thumbsnap in beta…

Since the change I have been unable to upload photos, I'm doing nothing different to what I have always done, for example...
The image is there as it allows you to download it, but it doesn't display

Works in chrome on android. Which is not much help to you, but might assist PH.

[miniman]

Could we have multiple image select please?

Just the single one working would be a start

The url of the link would help to check formatting.

Quote my post from above, that has the code the forum generated

Url tags not img tags

Can't tell from that how you were trying to upload and what. Are your attempts uploads from your files or from a websites url (as in right clicking on a web photo and "copy image address" then pasted it into your text using [pic] [/pic] formatting? Are you using a VPN and/ad blockers?

Basically more information of how/what you're doing is needed.

I've had the same problem but quite rare myself and the only solution for me was to "save image as......." onto my device then use the PH uploader.

I reckon that neither the thumbnail or the forum fit has been selected and as a result it pastes in the image as a link



Trouble is my phone defaults to forum fit but I think on my laptop it doesn’t

Spaces added to expose the code from original post - there are no img tags - there is a thumb but that doesn't get used when thumb is selected as that is done by the "resize="
