Posting a picture / image; how to add or embed an image or video in a post
HOW TO EMBED IMAGES: See tutorial information in posts 1 - 4.Not every Forum accepts the embedding of images; for those that do, please follow the FlyerTalk Rules. From the FlyerTalk Rules:
8. Posting of Images link to this rule.
You may embed non-animated images in your posts. Your images must conform to all FlyerTalk content rules, must convey relevant, on-topic information and are not allowed in signature lines or user profiles other than in the space designated in your profile for your picture. (See also, Rule 2 — User Profiles.) Please size your images large enough to get your point across but not so that they distort FlyerTalk standard column widths.

(See also, Rule 2 — User Profiles.) Please size your images large enough to get your point across but not so that they distort FlyerTalk standard column widths.
If your image fails to load, the first thing to try is clearing your browser’s cache.
NOTE: At this time, embedding animated images is not allowed (see this link to the FlyerTalk rule).
(Posts with embedded or attached videos, files or images made here as tests of how this works will routinely be deleted for systems efficiency.

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?

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) ?

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.

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:
Any help would be appreciated.
[Edited]
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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.
