There is a file size limit that is worth mentioning.

OK, so help me out here.

With a limit of 800kb, the options are:

(1) reduce photo size when taken. At least on my phone, that's universal, I can't do it for just one photo. iPhone 12. AFAIK.

(2) take photo, upload to host, and link from thread, which is the same as what we had before. No real change; the service I use is pretty good in that I can hit a button and get a link with the HTML already encapsulating the link, then just paste in. But as far as I can see, it really hasn't changed significantly, same amount of work.

So I see a bunch of new photos, what's everyone doing?

If you use a computer : right click on your picture to open with Paint, resize the picture 50%, save. 5 seconds

If you use a mobile :
- android : https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobi ... n-gallery/
- iphone : https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to- ... ?r=US&IR=T

With no size limitation, we can't provide free attachment to all members.

I would imagine this has been covered somewhere, but I cannot find it - how many photos are we able to add to each post? I'm not able to add more than three. I am using the "drag and drop" method, and making sure the photos are not over 800kb. I've also tried "add files", but still cannot add more than three. I am using my home computer (not my cell phone) to create my posts.

Joachim,

A good alternative is to go to this website:
https://postimages.org/
Click on 'Choose images' and browse to the photo you want to post on Insectnet.
After the image has loaded to the website copy the second link to your photo that is provided by the site.
Paste the photo link between [ img ]link[ /img ] (do not include the spaces inside the [ ]), and it will appear in your post.
You can include many photos in the same post.

Note that you do not need to register to use https://postimages.org/

Adam.

Recently I have a trouble to attach pictures, every time I select a picture and press "choose"button the whole website is just shutting down, any advice what that could be? I tried to restart computer and log out/log in to insect net with no success.

Dear Paul, I don't face this issue, so the problem should come from your computer. Maybe try to clear your browser cache, it often helps with technical bugs.

Thank you Olivier.
I tried on my iPhone and I could attach picture.
It must be indeed some glitch on my laptop.
