Mum with her last birthday present

For those that are having issues it could be file size. I’ll up the file size limit shortly.

It works! 🙂

Format seems weird on an iPhone, but here goes….

Lets try the work laptop.

Well that worked!

I’ve upped the file size limit to 10mb.

We have to be careful with this due to the fact that we don’t store 10mb images. During the upload the file is crushed down to a maximum size of 1024×1024 pixels with a jpg quality of 70%. The bigger the limit on file size we set the more overall work the server has to do to handle the compression.

My turn to test

For those that are having issues it could be file size. I’ll up the file size limit shortly.

When I was having problems yesterday the files were definitely not too large, but there did seem to be a delay between hitting Submit and the photo appearing – sometimes it just didn’t. This could be related to the compression process? I’ll try again later today and let you know if I gain any more insight.

The popup lightbox when clicking on someone’s image only works when I’m logged in. Is this intentional?

That’s a nice looking cassette @Daffy. What is it?

Now works, but same image as before when it didn’t. But still a great addition, thanks.

@ossify – It’s an Ingrid 11-44 12s that fits onto a Shimano HG freehub.  320g, but good lordy is it expensive.

Took three attempts but it’s worked on my phone 😁

It seems more reliable if you wait a second or so before hitting the OK button.

If the photo hasn’t popped up in “preview” at that point, just go back to the Image button, Folder button and try again.

Cambridgeshire residents will recognize this.

Just done a line of coke!

Had a couple of issues posting direct from Mac photos app due to size, but looks all good now.

That pic tho has made me pine for Molini!

Testing testing…

Nope, can’t make that work! Android & Chrome.

✔️

Huzzah. That bloody worked! Great stuff.

3 weeks and the customer hadn’t washed their hands?!?!

I’ll try it then… 

Let’s see….

Pippa approves, but mainly she just wants me to get off my phone and throw the bloody tennis ball

I’ll try too.

I got a puncture up top tonight. I broke the rules and stored my bike rubber side up. Did make for a unique picture though.

Nice!

Good lord.

Uploads aside, how does one link to an image these days?

Use the IMG insert button on the Text editor tab.

In many cases you can just paste the direct image url in the editor and it will render out as a hotlinked embedded image. You can also paste the image url into the source box in the image upload popup.

Didn’t work oh well

Wow, I worked out how to do it!

This little chap I found wandering around lost in central Croydon last month. He was about 8 weeks old and very hungry and dehydrated.
