Allow Images

[mikeperik]

It would be nice to be able to upload images. You could limit the size so that you could see the problem the user is having.

Yes, this is a good idea...


Maybe it is possible to link to external images:

I know this post is old but I still think its valid.
I too think that if we could post images of our problems etc. this would be really useful.

Would this be possible please?

Unfortunately a limitation of phpBB as far as I know.

I used in an old thread http://www.bilder-upload.eu to provide images to my questions.

Ok - maybe not perfect but it works

Here the old thread:

Edit: I found the link to bilder-upload in this forum. Posted from .............. Michael a couple years ago

Husky - thankyou for the link, but I can`t find any English translation to be able to understand and use "Bilder Upload"

Need help please.

Andrew I`ve just had a look at the phpBB site and it is in its "3rd" major release now and as far as I can tell you can configure what uploads you permt including images,attachments etc!

If you go to phpBB site >about>Features>Attachments the in attachment types it quotes -

Attachment Types
"Control what type of files and which extensions are permitted to be uploaded to the board".
I`m sure this will allow at least PDF attacments and images?

And also under the "Postin" section it states -

Attachments
phpBB provides the ability to post multiple attachments to posts. The types and size of files allowed to be posted is fully configurable within the ACP.

hope this helps

Hi Andrew
I`ve also seen this "Flash" tutorial on the phpBB site showing that you can elect to allow BMP images and you can set your file size also to not clogg up your server too much!

I must say Andrew all credit to you and the QCAD team for this wonderful program and forum.
