Please note there be may some differences depending on the device, browser and operating system you are using. Images uploaded into a thread through IB's uploader now scale based on your device. The mobile template loads images smaller than 800px width and desktop scales to 1,000px width. They will grow to full size when clicked.


1. Start at the same place, by clicking the "Add Image" button in the editor.


2. You can drag & drop from a folder, open and browse to choose images, or just as always--add a URL.


3. The images will then upload to your album in the gallery, from which you can pull these images in the future for other threads.


In the upper right-hand corner, clicking "Reorder Images" will allow you to move your images around into the order you would like displayed in the thread.




Now we have images in the thread!

Why are my images displaying as thumbnails vs full size?

TIA

I'll take a look, please post a link to the post. Thanks!

If you use photobucket, you can post a full sized photo in the thread. It is actually a link to the photo, except the thumbnail is full sized. If the photo is removed from photobucket, the photo disappears from the thread.

I now use the picture icon vs just the manage attachments button and all is good.

Thank you

I'm a long time member and have posted many photos. Now, however, from my iPad, as soon as I hit the picture icon, my entire screen "grays" over and I am unable to proceed. I do not have this problem posting photos on any other sites, just this one. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a similar problem. I cannot drag and drop photos via Chrome. Photo screen is grayed out AND I cannot get back to the text. Everything I typed goes away. I have to remember to log into IE and then I can drag and drop.

Hi,

I can't duplicate it on my Ipad using Chrome and the techs have looked at the problem. They feel it may be a permissions issue with the digital content settings in Chrome. I'll ask for another look by them, thank you for letting us know.

Bob,
I don't use Chrome. It has never been on my iPad. I only use Safari. It has always worked before.
Please advise. Thanks.

speedlimit

Sorry for the late reply, I've been trying different styles and browsers. I can duplicate the Safari problem and have asked for tech support.

That's great that you were able to duplicate the problem. Looking forward to hearing what the fix is.
Thanks,

Here is the news.

The photo uploads are broken when using the desktop theme on any iOS device. So your iPad will only be able to upload photos through the mobile style. They are working on a fix. You can access the mobile template via:

I tried uploading a picture from my Ipad via the mobile style and I'm still not able to upload. IB is aware and working to fix that. You should be able to upload a pic from your Iphone using the default mobile style. IB is well aware of the affect these bugs are having on the community and working to fix them.

Also, IB has found that when folks hit "View Last Post" it jumps them to the bottom and any slight scrolling while you are typing a reply can submit the response to a related thread. The fix to turn off 'Related Threads' is coming soon as it is completing testing on Rennlist. I'll update this thread as the solutions are rolled out. Thank you for your patience.

I want to add I am also using google chrome from a windows 10 computer and when I go to insert image the screen grays out. Please let us know of a workaround.

Thanks.

speedlimit

I can't duplicate that, what style are you using? On the bottom left of every page is a drop down menu with style selections. Also, make sure you allow a few seconds for the pic app to load. Thanks.

The link posted above worked for me! Been trying to post pic in new member intro for last few days, no go on ios either with safari or firefox. Revived my old PB account, now I get a 3rd party hosting thing on my picture. Thanks for the info

Hey, Bob,
Hows the fix coming on this? I still cannot post photos from my iPad.
Thanks,

Hi,

I was told it would be another week or two, sorry. Apparently they are unable to roll-out pieces of an update.

Bob

Streamliner

OK, thanks.

speedlimit

Here is a temporary fix that I just used to upload from my Ipad. Log in via the Mobile Template linked below. Let me know if it works for you.

Hi,

Yes the new up loader does not work with PMs yet. Hopefully we will see that in the near future, thank you.

I have tried multiple times to add pics to a post I have in the W212 forum, and tried here to (to this post). No luck. I am trying both the inline photos option and clicking advanced and then manage attachments --- and each and every time I am able to get the photos into the "upload photos" dialog (either by drag and drop or browsing to them), and I am even able to re-order the photos, BUT then when I click the upload button to process, I am back at my post with NO attachments or images. What gives? I am very familar with posting on varius other forums and adding images, and I have even tried multiple browsers here (Chrome and IE).

Also in looking at the details and screen shots of how to insert a pic in this thread, it does not seem to be consistent with what I see. The forum pops up an "Upload photos" dialog and all seems to work well, but to close this dialog the only method seems to be clicking the "Upload" button at the top right of the dialog and this puts me back to my post, but with NO images or attachments.
