Forum Images

[BadThad]

How about changing how the forum deals with previously uploaded images? The current system plain sucks. It refers you to old threads which requires the user to copy and paste URL's. This is the ONLY forum I visit that refuses to automatically repost previously uploaded pics. Other forums seems to know the file name and just reuse the pics without complaint.

We'll have to ask Peter what the forum software will allow.

Good idea.

[rlm's cents]

It would sure make posting them easier!

Good idea Thad...I hope Peter can come up with a solution..even if it automatically made a link to the previous picture.

[BadThad]

Any updates?

[Maineman750]

No, but I'll make sure Peter reads this.

I saw this thread weeks ago and explored the issue. Picture usage is dependent on the software we are using to manage the forum and cannot be changed right now from the present system. Thad--can you post a link or PM me another forum link that does what you are referring to so I can see what they are using? And can you point me to a thread here where an image had to be re-uploaded?

not completely computer savvy here ....and I haven't had to repost a pic... but can't you rename the file...add a letter to the file name... then upload it?

That's exactly how I get around it

Does not work for me. Same pictures renamed;

[onecent1909]

OK i am trying it..

Sorry, I left out a step. I open, then "save as" renaming and adding one character while I do that.
