How to Add Images on the New Site

[GroobySteven]

The way to add images to your posts is a little different on this version of vBulltin so here is a walkthru.
Once you know it, it's much easier and allows you to upload a number of images at the same time, saving a lot of time. Most people have figured it out already but for those that haven't here you go;

1. Create new post and enter text.
2. To upload images, click on the paperclip at the top toolbar (next to smiley face).
3. Click "add files" - and when the window opens, "select files". Find where your images are on your hard-drive (the same as the last version).
4. What you can now do is hold down shift and select a number of images at one time, which appear in the box. When ready to add them, click "upload files".
5. You now should have these images in your screen. Click on the ones, select or deselect the ones you want to show and press done.
6. Images will show on your post.

OPTIONS.

If you just want to upload a few images, the easier way to do it is;
1. Select "Insert Image" which is the icon like a painting next to the film strip on toolbar.
2. When the window opens if it hasn't defaulted to "from computer" then select that.
3. Click "Select Files" and then browse and find the image. Select "open".
4. You can do this one image at a time for as many images as you wish. When ready to post click "upload files".
5. These will appear at any point in your post that you selected to upload image.

There are a load of other options incl. inserting images inline (so you can create a post that looks more like a blog or magazine) but leave that to the more experienced user or for what you get adventurous.
Add questions here about image posting.

Is there a maximum size for attached photos? For example, if I post a picture I downloaded from Yum, it's original size is 1440 x 960. Will that show up full size in the post, or does the forum automatically re-size it? It seems like the latter. If it is re-sized, if I switch to thumbnail view for posts, will clicking the thumbnail give me the full original size, or only the forum re-sizing?

We're rebuilding it right now for showing thumbs - want to see a larger version, just click on it but default will be thumbs.

Test post. Note I'm doing this on an iPad and I had to open the reply in a new tab.

I didn't find it to be a problem but, others may have! And actually Steven, my presentation is not as you described. I have to "Go Advanced" and then scroll down to "Manage Attachments"

Just look at it as a new toy.
The more you play with it the better it gets..
