    Default Please don't use picture hosting from other picture hosting sites for the forum

    WRF forum has the upload feature. It's quick and easy to use.

    Browse - select your picture and add as an attachment ( manage attachments button, under the new post/reply edit screen) , do this procedure over and if you want to add more then one picture to a post.

    If you resize your picture to around 800*600 it's even faster to upload, because of a smaller filesize and the optimal size is 100 kb the maximum is 244 kb

    Some members still use a hosting site like imageshack or photobucket and they create two problems for the forum.
    1) External pictures make the uploading when opening a thread slower.
    2) The pictures disappear after a certain period. Pictures that disappear leave empty threads which makes them useless.


    I checked several of the oldest forum threads and 50% of the threads didn't have any pictures anymore. Those threads are now useless

    We think it's important for everyone that this forum can be used as a tool , for old threads to be useful as some can contain important information and discussions.

    If anyone needs assistance with this just ask us. I also suggest you check out the FAQ about that.


    Thank you.

    This is really quite an important issue. Please use the forum upload picture hosting software. It is free! And it makes threads more of a permenant resource.

    Thanks!

    Wow !

    I didn't know that ! I've been using photobucket and a link in my threads.

    Oops

    I'll follow correct procedure from here on in.

    Men can only ever do one thing at a time so, whatever it is you want me for, SOD OFF ! I am doing THIS !

    Top tip - If you get a detection and spend the next 30 minutes digging a 2 foot deep hole and you STILL haven't found the item......move to the side a little bit !!

    Visit the RRPG website at www.ww2rrpg.com

    Just bumping this thread back up, as some new members still use photo hosting sites.

    Cheers, Ade.
