Pictures

[pogre]

A couple of quick questions I could not find the answers to in the FAQ or in other threads.

Is there a size limit on pictures within a message on the message board? Is there a limit to the number of pics you put in one message?

I assume it is at least bad form to put up huge pics and that is not my intent.

I would like to report on my campaign in the story hour forum. In my campaign almost every thing is represented in miniature. I create a lot of scenery for adventures including custom rooms, buildings, and even sculpt figs at times. Not to mention I own obscene amounts of mastermaze.

My idea is to post thumbnails of pictures of the particular scene I am describing with a link to a larger pic on my server space.

BTW - I plan on becoming a community supporter before doing this.

The max number of images is 10, IIRC (I hit it with smilies from time to time).

Apparently, a max size no longer exists, at least for attachments. The [ img ] tag propably is not restricted either.

Of course it's not a wise idea to post huge images, and since you're not about to do so, it praopably is ok.

Thank you

Thanks for the answer. Much appreciated!

Hmmm; I'll be changing that, restricting it to somewhere around 100 to 200 K. There isn't any restriction on the IMG tag, though.

We prefer that when possible, images be linked in with the IMG tag instead of being attached to the post. I think the best guideline is to use good judgment. Remember, 90% of people still use dial-up lines, so keeping images small is probably best.

Sounds very cool, though!

Please keep it at 200 Kb at least, this is since some of us in the Art gallery can have a hard time to find a good compression vs. quality ratio on pics when you have to beat the 100 Kb limit.

In order to ensure good quality in pics I recommend a limit on 200 Kb if that is OK with you dear cat (I'll even make a catman with a peg-leg and hand hook illo for you if you keep it at 200 Kb as a thanks from us in the Art Gallery forum)

I'm not sure how to attach a pic, so I want to try it here. Sorry if this doesn't work...

nice d2 collection.

I only have the top ones (the wooden one - I picked one up at Origins). The white (ceramic?) tile looks sweet.

Running a test here.
Nothing to see, move along.
