AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for a non-thumbnail image upload option in the homework help section to streamline access for users. Currently, uploading images via imageshack is temporary, whereas forum uploads would ensure images remain accessible for future reference. Users express concerns about the slow upload speed compared to imageshack and the potential for oversized images to disrupt thread readability. Suggestions include using advanced mode for uploads and ensuring images are properly sized to avoid horizontal scrolling. Overall, the goal is to enhance user experience by improving image accessibility and display.

It's a bit of a hassle for the homework helpers to click and wait for the file to show everytime, so to make their lives I decided to upload all my pic in the homework help section via imageshack. Problem is that with imageshack it won't stay forever, but uploading something to the forum it will, that way if anyone searches the forum all that images will remain and one would be able to follow the discussion if needs be.

So I suggest to make an option to upload and display non-thumbnails images. If that's possible.

I am not sure it works always, but I think everything you need is already here...

  1. Go to advanced mode.
  2. Upload attachment.
  3. There is a list of attachments below the edit field. Copy URL of the attachment.
  4. Place this link in [noparse][/noparse] tags.

In this particular case [noparse]
attachment.php?attachmentid=36739&stc=1&d=1309075517.png
[/noparse] generates

Duly noted :smile:

Thanks, much appreciated!
 
If you place the images in the main body of the post, remember to size them so they will not introduce horizontal scroll bars on standard screens.
Many consider it bad manners to create a post which means that you have to keep shuffling left and right to view. It only takes one oversize pic to cause this for the whole thread.
 
Yes, I always size my images :smile: thanks.

I've tried it now but the image is being uploaded way too slowly compared to imageshack. Dunno if you have much control over it. Just saying. Thanks anyway!
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
