At the moment because very few images are hosted and these which are are low res. Please will you address the concerns I have regarding the text edit window resizing and the stripping of single blank paragraphs. This are major issues as far as I am concerned, they function perfectly well until you started meddling.

OK that seems to work on my desktop. I need to also test on the ipad where it fell over.. We will need to write some guidelines as how this feature should be used. We need to be able to limit the number of inserted images in a post to ?4? images. Open to debate on this. What I am trying to stop is Mr Silly posting his 2000+ images of his holiday snaps into one post!!! Also we will need to constrain the size of the image in <2MB, as well as longest side pixels to 1024 pixels. Once again open to discussion on this but we need to be aware that we dont always view on a 30" monitor!

looks good to me so far .. but with a very small forum be careful with costs , as rob says flickr is the cheapest option .. the best straight from desktop renditions I have come across so far are on the photography-on-the-net forum but no idea what they use

Don't get too carried away to soon - I may have a PC direct to post function for you if I can work out the coding required - I have a pilot part coded ... Limiting the number of images per post may be a fruitless exercise as people will just complain they can't load one more than whatever limit you set and post again and again to get round the limit. You could set a limit of X number of posts per user per day / hour but I guess that won't be popular either! Moderation is the best route - educate people to post reasonably. Having now had a good look at the photo gallery code, it is no longer maintained - the authors abandoned it some years ago and even their website is no longer online. Something to think about before getting 1000s of images on it!

Thanks for your efforts Chris, we know the software is obsolete, if as you say the forum's gallery is present, I suggest we cut away the add-on gallery and dump it and it's contents, We can save any potentially important images in case anybody really needs them. All of my stuff is saved on my computer. I would not have entertained an add on gallery had I known the forum had it's own. We were led to believe the add on was essential, it has been a real pain because the log in is separate from the forum login initially and it has caused many new members quite a bit of grief. Simplicity.

The software is old but is most current version. I dont know which gallery will provide us with most ease of use.

Just one point to bear in mind, a high proportion of us here have Mac's, I suspect you mean PC, personal computer as opposed to a Windows computer, just mentioning it since it may be relevant. I tend to agree about limiting the number of images, there is no, 'one size fit's all' with posting images, it depends on the circumstances to some extent. Moderation is the best way I think.

We can support some but all is a different game as you will get people who want Opera, and others. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge, should be a good compromise for now. I agree that circumstances may drive a desire for more images in one post but in reality there is no reason why you need to show each and every step and if you do then it can be broken into smaller steps i.e. larger number of posts. If it is so complex then a YouTube linked video might be better. We need to follow the 80/20 rule! You will never sayisfy all the people all the time.
