Over the limit of figures?

AI Thread Summary
Users can upload a maximum of three figures per post, but there is no overall limit on the total number of figures that can be uploaded across multiple posts. After uploading three figures, users can wait a few hours before uploading additional figures. The inability to use the "img" tag for thumbnails may be due to moderator approval of attachments or restrictions in certain forums. The discussion clarifies the attachment limits and the challenges with thumbnail placement. Overall, understanding these limits can enhance post presentation.

Over the limit?

Hi all, I made five figures for [post=1508549]this post[/post], but it seems I can only upload three? I hope that means, three at one time! If so, how long must I wait before uploading the others?

[EDIT: experimentation suggests: no more than a few hours, if that]

There is no net limit on how many figures I can upload to illustrate posts, is there?

[EDIT: experimentation suggests: no]

Is there any way that I can make thumbnails for the various attachments appear in the desired places? I tried to use the "img" tag, but this doesn't seem to be working yet. Is that because the attachments haven't yet been approved by a moderator?

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...
