Another question...... Is it possible to have an button on a post that allows a 'Liked by username' icon to appear on the post ?somewhere?, as we tend to use the Quote button then comment which is very slow and wasteful as it bloats the comment.

A picture guide to inserting full res images from gallery using Ultra "G" button First type a few words ( important - the image can't be the first thing in the posting) Then click on the "G" button above  then from the popup screen, click on the image you want to post  that opens up the gallery of the photo owner  click again on the photo you want  click again and it opens up full size - use the window scroll handles to pull the image window to the left so you can see the editor box  and finally drag the image from the left and drop it into the editor box close the gallery window. You can repeat as many times as you want - you can also drag the thumbnail or the intermediate image into the editor box as you wish.

Then windows and browsers moved on and some of the code used fell out of use so the galleries stopped working. I developed a "fix" using modern javascript which I have now put into your forum so the gallery is functional. As you use an add on gallery I also modified the script to open your gallery instead of the ultra one. The drop & drag is a happy accident from updates to the browsers these days. So, that is the story, I don't think you were misled

Thank you very much for the explanation. Looks like I have some testing to do over the next week or so.

This is quite interesting. Anything that improves the way the forum handles images must be good. Of course this method does mean we have to post our images into our individual gallery first....something I've tended to avoid. Quite often in the middle of a thread we want to imbed an image or several images to illustrate a point. The necessity of having to first post those images into a gallery, would seem to be a side step. Is there not a way to multi post direct into a thread direct from our computers ....like we do from Flickr?

Just tested on my ipad using Safari, I get a browser does not support this function message. No worries. I will test on Firefox and Safari on my desktop. Eric, posting to Flickr and linking is essentially the same process just different location for the images.

I will continue to use Flicker because I want my images in one central location from where I can post them in this and various other forums and be viewable in Flicker albums. I haven't used the forum gallery in a long while, this alteration won't change that. I don't think we want the expense of the additional storage and bandwidth which will result from the storage of the images with the forum hosts the forum can be slow enough at times. My understanding is bandwidth is expensive. Using Flicker is free up to 1000 images and the user pays Flicker over that. The hosting bill for the forum is less if heavy users use Flicker, or whatever other image host they select. What would be much more useful would be to be able to post several regulated images via the 'post image' button, from our desktop. For documentary images like screenshots where I want to show a method, I don't want to clutter up my Flicker gallery, not this gallery for that matter, with demo shots and screenshots of settings. Now I can't resize this window either??? The windows need to be resizable like they were. Not only that the blank para separation has been stripped out, so we just have an unreadable block of text. Sussed it, Double returns...

In theory, yes there is, if I can find the time to develop a multi image attachment routine or a way of uploading from your PC to the forum - at the moment the forum, like others, uses a standard upload routine that requires a URL to embed in the post. The gallery allows that to be short circuited since the software "knows" the URL of the image since it is hosted on the forum. Downside is that you have to upload the file to the forum gallery as well as flickr if that is your preferred storage. The downside to external storage is that, like photbucket did, the images may be given temporary sharing URLs that stop working after a while. Also if something changes externally the forum ends up with broken links - from an admin's point of view it is better for forum integrity to have the images in the gallery or as attachments.

Nikondslr is using a mere 6% of its bandwidth so I doubt that is a concern.
