Attachments - Now Disabled

Postby Cerberus » Tue Jul 02, 2013 11:05 am

Ey up chucks....

There have always been two ways to add an image to your post. Pop it in IMG tags to an image on a remote host or upload the attachment to the P5 server.

The attachment option is causing a problem. It means the server wot I pays for has to store your image. It increases the bandwidth the site uses, slows the server
down, and cost me more money.

In order to keep the site moving quickly I've been forced to turn attachments off....

Before you panic!!! This does not mean you cannot post pictures in your posts any more! It just means you have to host them externally. I recommend PhotoBucket!

If you don't know how to use img tags then let me know and I will throw a tutorial together.

Sorry for the delay. Had some day job work to do :)

I totally forgot that I put a quick how to in this thread here - viewtopic.php?f=25&t=6616

To get a photobucket account just head to photobucket.com and sign up for one. They are free.

Dropbox is a slightly different kettle of bananas. If all you want is pictures then photobucket is your best bet really.

Yes it will. Tapatalk users will need to install a photo bucket mobile app and use that to get photos uploaded and IMG tagged.
