Even so, it's a PITA to have to post them over in the Photo forum, and the size restrictions are limiting somewhat. It would be nice if the Inliners International would just bite the bullet and allow people to upload photos in their posts. The software is capable of doing it, it's just configured not to, AFAIK.
Hi Keroppi . . . I realize that the process is not the most friendly but rest assured that properly 'curated' photos uploaded into the Club's gallery will remain online for years to come . . . well worth the effort.
As for the size limitations (and the need for bullet biting) I am happy to respond transparently about what we can and cannot support. First, our version of UBB threads (7.5.8) does in fact provide 'File Manager' support in both Gallery and Discussions threads. But in both forum types the support is limited to attachments. So even if we configure the File Manager to accept .jpg/.gif/.tif file types in a Discussion Forum they will not result in a rendered image. They will simply be available for download. The Image Manager is not available in a Discussion Forum. This is why the Photo Library (gallery forum) was created.
Second, the Image Manager in a Gallery Forum doesn't include the ability to reduce raw images from a digital camera or cell phone. We can configure an inbound upload size limit - but the software isn't capable of taking a raw 4608x3456 (4MB) image and reducing it down to something reasonable for rendering in a web page. Hence the need to crop/resize.
I am continuing to research options to make it easier for Club Members to share images on our Forums.
But I digress and we hijack the OP . . .
Welcome aboard Lostviking . . . I love the truck and the flat head six! Must be a blast to drive.
