Attachment of Images Update
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2016 1:25 pm
Hi Greenies 
We have decided to enable post attachments this will enable members to post images into their posts and embed them in a position that makes sense to the post . The way to use this new function is :
1. Open a new post or reply to a post .
2.Underneath the post window there will be tabs Options and Upload attachment
3.Click on Upload Attachment
4.Click on choose file to open a window that allows you to navigate locally on your computer to the file location.You may only choose one file. We will limit upload files initially to a maximum size of 500kb .I would suggest even smaller files if you are doing a trip report with multiple images else pages will load slower .
5.Click the Add the file button to upload the file.
6.In the bottom left corner of the browser window a status will display with the upload status until it is finnished.
7.When finished the upload a new window appears below the post window with Posted attachments.
8.You can repeat the proces to upload multiple files .
9.To use the uploaded files in a post use the place inline button.When you click this it will paste a BBcode into your post that will display the attachment like ['attachment=0]IMG_8573.jpg[/'attachment] .If you dont do this it will only show the files as attachments that can be downloaded .

Just to clarify in other words we can now upload photo's onto the thread direct and not go through a third party site for eg photo bucket or witch ever 
. Have we got the space to handle all the photo's that will be coming in
