How Do I Post A Photo or Upload An Image

[motojobobo]

What is the max size photo we can upload?

[motojobobo]

@Giles many thanks for going thru all this…

“
@motojobobo I had to convert your images from .dng to .jpg s the forum SW does not know what a .dng is.
I used this for future reference:
https://picflow.com/convert/dng-to-jpg
Then I cut and pasted the images because in their native .jpg, the files were too large.... “

to fix my pics.

Weirdly, when I posted that I was able to view the pics ok on the forum website.
I’ll must get better at it since I’ve now learned that Iphone pic possibility and will surely mess around with it. Thanks for the .DNG <=> .JPG info.

Error....something went wrong while parsing server response

I've just encountered this. file size less than 5mb and in jpg.

@louisbosco can you send me the image please?

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco 8256 × 5504 image dimensions is pushing 8k territory so a simple re-size should do the trick. You can make it x4 smaller at least.

@jtaylor69 Am I right in thinking changing the error messaging is not straightforward out of the box?

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco this is 2000x1333 compared to the OG and still very good res for screens.

Awesome photo's by the way

[louisbosco]

@AdamJ cheers. the trackside photographer did good work.

What’s the recommended/ max resolution for the forum?

[jtaylor69]

@AdamJ that's right - it's something I want to see improve and will raise with the NodeBB devs

Could someone remind me how to embed a web picture into a response? I can't seem to find the right button, and obviously the [img][/img] tag doesn't work. Thank you!

[Giles]

If you are doing it from here (again on a PC), then hit the "Upload Image" Icon above

[JDelage]

I'm on a Mac. If I click the upload image icon I get the option to upload from my drive, not to embed a web picture.

@JDelage We removed the shortcut for it as no one seemed to use the functionality, and it confused a lot of people trying to upload an image. @AdamJ may know the code for it, I have forgotten

[Giles]

I'm on a Mac. If you copy the web image then you can paste directly into the post...

Ah, yes that works. Obvious in retrospect. Thank you.

Yeah, super duper easy when you know
