Why is it so hard to upload images?

[dx100uk]

trouble is we don't want images in threads

 

just makes the whole thread huge in size and the whole post slow to load.

 

it much better to upload PDFS and 'choose' whether you want to open a hugh file

 

the long instructions

 

are because some people are new to computing

and are incapable/unable to simply understand the simple bits

 

convert to pdf

upload via the manage attachment button.

 

to be honest I wish we could go back to when instead of a thumbnail

we just had the attached file title.

 

not everone has 50Mb broadband

some of us are still on less than

and when theres a 2MB+ image the thread can take 2-3 mins to load.

the other thing is the image upload puts it in a box

 

on my screen that's far too small and we all cant zoom

 

on a pdf you can zoom to you hearts content.

uploaded pix, you cant!

its mainly down to stopping spammers re the links.

 

if someone has something important to post

 

then there is always the alert triangle to ask for the link to be resolved by the siteteam.

 

usually there is very little actual needs to post links .
