testing attachments

gnome

Are attachments not supported in this part of the forum?

Anyway, the main question is -- how do "attached thumbnails" work? In most attachments in PF, the thread contains just a link which opens up a new window containing the image. But in a few cases, a small copy of the image, diagram, etc, is viewable in the original post. How is that done?

gnome, if you're trying to figure out how to upload an attachment, just open a post in the thread in which you plan to post it, don't open a new thread.

Did you go to "additional options.....manage attachments.....browse (to find your file).....when you add the file, then click "upload", you should then see that the file has been attached.

Evo

Attachments are supported here. Once you have attached the file, a mentor will need to approve it, there will then be a thumbnail of the file which can be clicked on to view the full size.

Did you remember to hit the "upload" button after you selected the file?

Did you get an error message saying that the size was too large? It is not a "pop up" error message, the message will appear at the top. if the message attached, you will see it at the bottom.

Yes, there was an error message at the top (which I didn't notice the first 10 attempts). So finally I managed to trim it down below 400x400, and now I'm back to my original question. This process (with a now 19k .png file) produces just a text-link to click on, which opens a new browser window displaying the image, which is not what I was trying to accomplish.

My question is, how to produce a "thumbnail image" that is visible in the ORIGINAL post.

Evo

I know jpeg will create a thumbnail, I haven't tried the other file types, you may have to convert your file to a jpeg, otherwise settle for the link.
