turning linked photos into thumbnails is odd
that problem came sometime after addition of attaching (not linking) photos to posts

originally when attaching (not linking) photos to posts, it would thumbnail
seems after fixing problem with linked photos, attached (not linked) never thumbnail

if it is possible for attached (not linked) to have optional thumbnail, might be good?
(under manage attachments in edit post, was originally limited to 6 attachments?)
auto attach is part of latest update? uploads linked photos to posts? with no limit?

Kagehitokiri May 9, 2016 10:42 pm

was limit changed? www.flyertalk.com/forum/26601640-post34.html

also, after latest update and removing thumbnailing of attachments, has it started taking a long time for 'edit post' to complete after hitting 'save' (when editing a post that has attachments) ?

Thumbnails no longer happen with links. Only attachments.

What limit?

I have not seen a longer edit time.

It's a bit weird when I include a picture using the [img] tag, but the picture remains as an attached picture after editing the post to try to remove the picture completely.
Edit: Figured it out. :)

It is weird, and it looks like you've figured out the change.

I've read through this entire thread, checked for options on my personal dashboard, etc. but haven't seen an answer for how to avoid this:

Attachment 11348

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm.

OK, some may be asking what the problem is. Well, when using "preview post" it shows a duplicate of each image with one tagged "attached images", but now when posting is seems only a single copy of the image is posted.

Okay, I've got the same problem and completely not figured it out.

I have edited the post (reduced image size of one of two pics) but now have both images in the post, even though I only have 1 '[ATTACH]' block.

Any helpers?

If anyone wants to look, its' here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/26654229-post25.html

Should not be happening.

But if it dows, and you want to remove a photo attached, just go to EDIT and GO ADVANCED and MANAGE ATTACHMENTS.

I've already reported this by PM to IBobi but in case anyone else is having the same issue.... I am only able to embed one photo per post on an ipad using Safari. Doesn't matter which method I try. If I try to upload 2 or more at once, it only uploads the last image. If I try to do each photo individually, it replaces the previously uploaded image, still leaving only one. Even going back after posting and editing my post and adding an additional image doesn't work. Again, it just replaces the previously posted image. Hopefully solved soon as I now have to make consecutive posts when I want to add more than one photo.

It looks like thumbnails are disabled now.

So we've gone from one extreme to another? I've noticed that some folk posting from their phones, laptops, etc, the image takes up the entire screen such as this, where as they didn't do so before.

SkiAdcock May 21, 2016 7:59 am

But if I post from a website:

seems the problem was with auto attaching links then thumbnailing
start of report writer complaints about link > auto attach > thumbnail
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...l#post26583928

IB turns off thumbnailing >
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...l#post26586272

but i agree with SkiAdcock when one attaches (not link) thumbnail would be nice option

i would think [IB] look some more at 'auto attaching' (don't do 'auto') but may be complicated

there was a limit of 6 attachments when attachments were first added, not sure if changed

SkiAdcock May 21, 2016 11:26 am

I don't need a tiny thumbnail which it was temporarily when IB had that on, but more like the image size just above your post. So it's easy to see but doesn't fill up the entire screen. I thought it used to be like that?

Cheers.
