Full members should now be able to upload images directly to the forum instead of needing to embed a link to an external image.
Just click on the image icon in the post menu bar and then click the folder icon.
There are some conditions. You need to have the rights to post any images. ie. don't grab images from the internet and upload them to our server. We've updated our T&Cs to lay down the rules on that. Don't put us in a copyright situation please. Also, initially at least, until we see how it gets used, there are limits on file size (6mb), images per reply (5) and total images in on topic (60). This are pretty arbitrary at this point and we'll tweak as we go.
Images uploaded to our server will open in a pleasant lightbox style when clicked.
Wow
Thanks. That will significantly reduce the faff of first uploading to a hosting site, then linking to it.
I noticed this the other day when posting on the Friday photy thread. Would never have seen it if postimg hadn't been unavailable!
So it's any forum member rather than just them special subscriber members, which is nice.
OMG here's an image from the weekend.
Ah you need the visual editor enabled.
Nice. Maybe I'll contribute to a weekend ride thread one day now. Even though I'm neither a expert photographer or high value target, I've never been happy giving my images away to some poopbox free image hosting site for them to monetise however they wish.
Still have the issue of not riding enough and forgetting to take photos.
can't help but wonder what scotroutes is up to 🧐
aha!
That took multiple attempts. There's something going on and I'm trying to determine what it is so that I can help the Tech team.
Looks like some problem with the upload process?

Lets give this a go then...
Well, thats all very painless. Good work folks 😀
Gratuitous photo from this morning
OMG here’s an image from the weekend.
Long Mynd?
Ok. If you're too quick, the photo doesn't upload.
Nice & easy on PC
Edit: The text disappeared! Electrified ‘94 Stumpy on yesterday’s pootle.
Edit2: ipad 👍
Nope - doesn't work with GIF's! 🙂
An impressive bit of industrial steel. And a gate.
Not my current view 😢
A picture!
Cheers Mark, much more betterer.
Been a good day today, found my wedding ring at a customer's house from 3 weeks back, and now the promise of pictures on here too 😁
Ooh
Noice
Test
OMG, MNPR lives! I thought it had vanished. Glad to see the posters are still coming. Must have been quite hard to choose this week's theme, so many choices.
@stwhannah - the MNPR has been given the Frankenstein treatment and risen from the dead, so the posters are indeed back. And I was indeed spoilt for choice this week, but I've given Silvio the nod, just for the entertainment value he's been over the years 😀
Dogs you say?
Edit: hard to edit around a picture without messing up (on mobile).
Messed up
random test with pic from the bathroom.
Edit: well it worked, but on my iPhone (safari browser) the text ‘source’ and ‘image description’ wasn’t displayed, just the boxes. It might be because I have my phone in dark mode?
Great
Ooh lovely
Excellent 🙂
Struggling on a phone with edge, worked once but couldn't edit post to add text. Probably my finger trouble.
No riding for me this weekend. Did see these guys though.
And these guys
This is great. Thanks for sorting.
but on my iPhone (safari browser) the text ‘source’ and ‘image description’ wasn’t displayed, just the boxes. It might be because I have my phone in dark mode?
I have the same problem - Chome/Android/Dark Mode and Chome/Win11/Dark Mode
By 'eck!
Nope doesn't work for me on android and chrome:(
I select a photo to upload from my phone and it does not pull through to the lightbox. Just appears blank again.

That's a feature, it's been ducked for ages. LINK is the same.

I did mine using Android and Chrome (S22 Ultra). I have to rotate the phone to see the whole box, and fill in the 'Image description' box as well.
it's soo good! stumbled across this update yesterday and assumed I had just missed the announcement. Whoop!
Nice...
Finally...
@binners Are there any MNPR plans for 3 July? I'm available as the token Southern Shandy Drinker for that evening.
Not for us scum 🙁
Ps did use it once the other day....now snatched away.
It was like a normal modern forum for a moment 😉
Have fun.
Picture worked well and easy. The caption didn’t.
Liked his birthday card - for those wondering.
That is awesome!
(BTW, I never said thanks for the discount on my garmin watch, which gets used every day, thanks!)
Excellent!
My most recent MTBing photo is my left arm after a thorough mauling by brambles and nettles whilst taking the fun route to work, so I’ll spare you that…
I couldn't work out how to put more than one pic on a post. Am I being dim?
So, how do you know if you have rights to an image that you may randomly find on that internet thing? Just your own photos?
At long last 🥳🥳🥳
Let's try this
