Help on How to Post an IMAGE! at DVinfo.net

Scott Di Lalla · May 18th, 2006, 01:16 PM

I have a few frame grabs i want to post but not sure how to get it up on this. No button to browse for the images.

Luke Springer · May 18th, 2006, 06:40 PM

You can't use this forum to post images, you need to host them on a website and provide a link.

Thanks,
Luke

Scott Di Lalla · May 18th, 2006, 06:48 PM

thanks Luke. Yeah, I finally decided to do that anyway since I had a hunch that this site didn't allow it.

Chris Hurd · May 21st, 2006, 12:05 AM

Sure this site allows it -- use the "manage attachments" button in the Additional Options section below the Submit Reply area when you're making a post. Attachment included here as an example.

I don't see that option.
All I have in the additional options box is
Miscellaneous options:
Show Signature
Automatically parse links

and

Thread Subscriptions
Notification Type

Colin, at first I didn't see it but then realized I wasn't signed in. After I signed in all the options were there. I think if you leave this site idling it may sign you off automatically.

Hi Scott,

I am signed in at the moment. I don't see anything.
I did just change my options to show images in the thread but still no way for me to add them myself.

This is what I see at the bottom of the page

You may post new threads

vB code is On
Smilies are Off
[IMG] code is Off
HTML code is Off

Do I need to change a setting somewhere or do I need to reach a certain level at DVInfo to enable the attachments?

EDIT: This is the same in Firefox and IE on my PC.

hmmm, that's a tricky one Colin. Now that I am thinking back I do remember about a week ago under posting rules it said "You may not post attachments" and for some reason it now says that I can. Also, you and I joined around the same time (april 06) so I don't think it's a member thing.

It is probably because I am an Englishman who abandoned the old country and moved to the US. I need to be loyal to get attachment rights :)

Chris Hurd · May 23rd, 2006, 04:02 PM

No it's because you're not yet 30 days old as a forum member.

But I just bumped you up in status, so try again. ;-)

Scott Di Lalla · May 23rd, 2006, 04:06 PM

ahhh...mystery cracked!! And at first I thought it was because I'm a New Yorker who transplanted in Los Angeles. :)

Thanks Chris,

I am so happy. I can now post attachments. See me celebrate :)

This is probably news to everyone. That has to be the first two pictures I've seen posted here.

Chris Hurd · May 28th, 2006, 11:14 PM

There's been no formal announcement about it. We thought we'd try to just slip it into the stream and see who notices.
