How to Attach Images Inline,
or, What You've All Been Waiting For (tm).

1. Start a New Post.

24662

2. Click on the Paperclip (or Manage Attachments), and
upload your pictures as usual:

24663

3. Now, click on the little Arrow next to the Paperclip. You will get a drop-down list of all images available for you to attach inline.

24664

(It will insert an "ATTACH" tag, as follows.).

24666

...and VOILA!

:D

OK, I'll try this and see how brain dead I actually am!:rolleyes:

24673

There should be a picture of an extremely fast Porsche Turbo.

24674

And, above this line, should be a picture of the general area where that particular Porsche calls "home"!:D

If this works, it's really pretty slick!:) :cool:

Yeahhhhhh baby!!!! Hey, one other question: Is the restriction still 5 pics per post???? Sorry if that's shown or mentioned elsewhere...:rolleyes: :) :cool:

The limit is still in place.

John Miliunas

10-12-2005, 9:16 AM

The limit is still in place.

Dang it! Is that something "built-in" to the app or is it something, which can be controlled at the Admin. end? It's not often that I would personally do more than 5 pics, but I have had occasion where it would've been nice.:) :cool:

Is there a way to get the full sized images to show in the posts, instead of the thumbs?

Clicking on each one of the thumbs and getting a pop up can be a pain....

I have a question about the pix being posted. The ones I've seen so far are all thumbs and one must click to see the full version. I have no problem with that, just wondering if this is the case now?

I also noticed that one picture that Aaron posted was somewhat over the 100kb limit that has been the max. Has the pic limit been raised? :)

TIA from this somewhat computer challenged donderhead. :D

Thumbs are now automatically generated- it might take a little getting used to, but it should save some bandwidth. In particular, on hot threads with lots of pictures, where you're viewing the thread multiple times per week, you will be downloading the thumbnails each time- only needing to click on the picture if you need a refresher.

The exception to the thumbnails are .gif images. Once I choose a different image library, I will add .gif images to the thumbnails list too.

I also noticed that one picture that Aaron posted was somewhat over the 100kb limit that has been the max. Has the pic limit been raised? :)

Karl, which picture are you referring to? The limit is actually set at 110,400 bytes.

Karl Laustrup

10-12-2005, 2:05 PM

Thanks for the answers Aaron. The explanation of the TN's makes perfect sense.

As far as that pic I was talking about I can't find it now, but I'm almost sure it was within the 110kb you listed. I thought it was right at the 100kb mark.

I was going to ask the same thing...I don't prefer the thumbs, either. But I see you answered it.

John Miliunas

10-12-2005, 7:05 PM

FWIW and I don't know if/how this works on the Mac side but, if you want the thumbnail full-size pics to open in a seperate browser window, simply depress your "Shift" key while clicking on the thumbnail. Alternatively, right-click on the thumb and click on "Open link in new window". This helps to prevent from closing up the main thread window by mistake. (DAMHIKT!):D :) :cool:

Hey Bruce & Jim, while I guess I'm partial to the regular images, as well, I can see Aaron's point and objective. Among other things, although our future connection should be about as fast as we are currently, SMC growth can easily clog it up some more and we're not going to have the headroom as we now enjoy with a bigger pipe. The bandwidth issue makes much sense to me.:) Besides, we picked up the "in-line" feature, which I think is a real fair trade-off! Personally, I don't mind the thumbs as much as not being able to put more than 5 pics in the same data field. It's usually not a problem for me, but I've seen quite a few threads with guys trying to run a consecutive tutorial on a project and it gets chopped up if someone replies too early after the first post. But hey, nobody ever said it was ALL going to be perfect!:) :cool:

If it's impossible to post more than five pics per post, perhaps there is a method to prepare a post with five pics and then put it in some sort of holding pattern until the next post with more pics has been written up and then they can both get published at the same time.

Failing that - At the end of Post #1 simply write something like, "But wait! There's more!

I haven't done this yet, but I think it would work.
1) Calculate the number of sequential posts you're going to need based on the number of pics you have and also factoring in the total size limit per post. Ex: 12 pics needs 3 posts (5+5+2) - assuming there aren't total pic size issues which force you to divide things up a bit differently.
2) Prepare the first post and attach the pics then submit it
3) Before anyone else has a chance to reply to it, quickly add 2 more replies as placeholders.
4) Then edit each of the replies to add the text and other pics you need.

Does anyone know why this wouldn't work?

The originator of a thread can edit the title, right? So just title the thread "Pending" or something until you've got all the posts composed and submitted, then edit the first one to change the thread title.

Thumbs ... should save some bandwidth. In particular, on hot threads with lots of pictures, where you're viewing the thread multiple times per week, you will be downloading the thumbnails each time- only needing to click on the picture if you need a refresher. (snip)

As we suck up more and more bandwidth, maybe we should consider a cultural change... No more posts that only say "wonderful work." Encourage posts with specific suggestions, etc., and maybe find a way of giving someone a score, but I get pretty tired of checking in on a topic (or the updates to a topic), downloading the whole thread only to find that it is just 10 more messages that say "nice job."

I believe we have a survey feature... is it low overhead? Maybe project pictures should be entered as a survey so people can say "great job" (score 5), or "good job" (score 4) or whatever (nobody seems to say, "you should have been able to do better than that" - score 1) without the threads expanding so much.

And maybe the avitars should be limited to pictures of the person "speaking," not pets, kids, tools, toys, logos, etc. that take bandwidth but don't add to the personal discussion this forum is noted for.

11-05-2005, 9:45 AM

Charlie, I have to respectfully disagree with you on this point...I think it is good for the community that folks express their appreciation of work by others, even if it's in a very succinct way. SMC's server bandwidth is not even close to constrained at this point. The point of the thumbs is to enhance performance for community members "out there" who are on dialup and don't have the downstream bandwidth that many of us have with higher speed services. (I'll be honest, I don't prefer them for functional viewing reasons, but that's a personal preference and I do understand what it can be like for someone stuck on a dialup line 'cause occastionally I get in that situation when traveling)

I certainly would encourage folks to ASK for input or critique if they are interested and willing to accept honest opinions, but when it's not requested, it's generally accepted in nearly all forums that critique should not be given.
I understand that we have a pretty good server now, where the server badwidth is not constrained. I do believe that Aaron was warning us that the 768 Kbps upload telecomm bandwidth was adequate for SMC now, but didn't leave a lot of room for growth. Therefore I think we need to conserve that bandwidth. That is why I was suggesting we look for a way to allow members to "vote" their admiration more efficiently. And I love the discussions like "...beautiful piece. How did you create...."

I feel the pain of dialup... although my download speed at home has been running close to 3 mbps lately, I was on a 28 kbps dial up for 8 days last month! I agree on the thumbnail point for that reason (even though I don't like it as much when I have the high speed line).

Can one attach photos to PMs? I can't seem to figure out how to do it. If not, am I alone in thinking that this feature would come in handy?

Keith Outten

11-22-2005, 8:47 PM

Rob,

Sorry but the Private Message function doesn't have the capability of attaching pictures.

Charlie,

Considering we are not sharing our bandwidth with other servers and our entire pipe is dedicated to just SMC we have enough bandwidth to support our needs for the time being. Aaron was probably refering to future growth, we are growing at a fairly steady rate and have been for the last two years. When I signed the current contract with Cox Cable I was assured they would be able to provide a larger pipe next year when our bandwidth needs increase. Verizon has also announced that they would be providing fiber to the premise in our area next year so we are comfortable that we will have additional bandwidth available when we need it for SMC. If we needed additional bandwidth tomorrow we could add another line and load balance the two, of course our expenses would also double.

The thumbnail feature was added by the new version of our software and we have the ability to turn it on or off. Although it does add steps for those with broadband connections it makes SMC much more enjoyable for those less fortunate, I use a dialup connection every now and then so I appreciate how much faster pages load using the new thumbnail feature. There is a bandwidth savings as well, this should help us to conserve our resources and possibly add new services in time.

As far as how our Members respond to messages I have never felt we should prescribe any type of protocol other than respecting each others point of view.

I hope everyone is enjoying our new home, all is well.

I'm going to try this too!!

First I try to come up with some kind of pithy verbage, or nounage. (Always wondered if that was a word.) Then add a picture of all my favourites. (In this case I've got a sailboat, kayak, a dingy I built, oh yea, most importantly, the wife.)

26384

Then, I go on with wit and wisdom, until I realize I need another picture so I don't completely bore the readers. (This one is of my favourite bandsaw.)

26389

And then I end the thing lest I become up the "Creek" without a paddle.

We'll see.

John

I don't suppose there's a way of wrapping the text around the pictures, is there?

Boyd Gathwright

11-22-2005, 11:45 PM

Karl,

.... There is a way to post a larger picture at a lower Kb size and I use it not only to reduce the size of the pic but to save hard drive space as well. I posted it a few weeks back. It gets rid of all the extra baggage that is imbedded in the pic itself.
Ref: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=25771 (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=25771)

…But for us slowbanders, this thumbnail thing is important.

FWIW and I don't know if/how this works on the Mac side but, if you want the thumbnail full-size pics to open in a seperate browser window, simply depress your "Shift" key while clicking on the thumbnail. Alternatively, right-click on the thumb and click on "Open link in new window". This helps to prevent from closing up the main thread window by mistake. (DAMHIKT!):D :) :cool:

I almost always right click and open in new window, and this is why: Out where I live the telco and the farmers have an agreement in which if the telco uses phone line outfitted with barbs, then farmers will allow the wire to be strung on fenceposts. Our telephony may be slow but we have most of the area covered now, and even some cow herds are plugging into the internet.

I will, for instance scroll down the SMC new posts, opening in new windows as I go, and let them open as they will while I continue reading. When I come to a post with thumbnails I will right click open them, read the post, then look at the pics.

To make this work smoothly, here is what I do (windows):

To begin set-up open two browser windows to a bare desktop. I use “about:blank” as my homepage so I don’t waste time sending out packets requesting web pages.

Right click on the time and select Tile Windows Vertically.

Close one of the two browser windows. Move the remaining window to the center of the screen, then maximize it.

At this point every link opened in a new window will be ½ screen width and will open in the center. Simply clicking on the maximized page will disappear the new link while it downloads, and it can be displayed later.

I usually have 10 to 30 windows open or downloading, and my system only became unstable when I hit 85 windows. Many thanks to John Miliunas for that!

Don, that's an important point..."pop-up" blockers affect many forums' functions including some at SMC. Just set this site in the blocker(s) to allow them here. (Don't forget that the current versions of most browsers have integral pop-up blocking in addition to any 3rd party application you may be running...you need to deal with it in both places)

There is a way of sending images by PM, go to photobucket, upload your photos, when you have uploaded your photo, it will have a link for inserting in forums, something like

[IMAGE=HTTP://photobucket:***************etc:[/IMAGE]

when you send your PM, the photo will be inserted into the PM, where you put the link code and will be as big as the original photo was.

I'm not sure if this is meant to be, but just something I found out.

Pete Brown

01-19-2007, 11:42 AM

Why do some posts have a nice little section that contains the thumbnails and others do not? I used attachments in other posts, but they just appear inline.

Pete

Jim Becker

01-19-2007, 3:11 PM

Pete, uploading up to five attachments per post without using the in-line feature will result in the box at the bottom of the post you mention. Using in-line (the paperclip at the top of the advanced edit box) eliminates the box as there is nothing to put in it as long as you actually do the in-line attachment. The third way folks supply images is by linking to pictures on a server away from SMC. The first two are recommended so that the information stays with the posts in the SCM archive. The latter places the images at risk should the remote server go away or the OP lose the rights to post/store the images on that remote site.

Pete Brown

01-19-2007, 4:31 PM

Thanks Jim.

The only way I saw to upload images was to use the attachment paperclip (or link to them on my server). I wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly.

No image! Any thoughts on why?

Also I thought when I uploaded to the site it would store. The only attachment that shows when I use the paperclip is the most recently uploaded image. How do you attach other images that have been uploaded to the site?
Thanks.

Jim Becker

02-09-2007, 5:46 PM

Steve, displayable images need to be JPG format. (GIF will display after clicking but not as a thumbnail) To do that from SketchUp!, put the view on the screen you want to see and then use Export-->2D and select JPG format.

Hi I am new to this site and it seems confusing to me about how to post and get going so I am going to try to do something here and time will tell

Bobby,

You can upload your images directly here, use the manage attachments area to select and upload with your posts. This is preferable to using MS Word which some of our Members may not own.

Hey Aaron:

After seeing this thread - http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=83897 -
can we deduce that the 5 pictures-per-post limit no longer applies?

Keith Outten

Jeff,

If you right click on any of Mike's pictures you will see that they are being hosted somewhere other than SawMill Creek. There is no limit in threads to how many links you can make, that is how Mike got so many pictures in his post. We still have a five picture limit per post.

The down side to uploading your pictures to another host is that in time they will disappear and the links will cease to work. Pictures hosted here on our server stay here for everyone to enjoy. Note that some woodworking forums delete posts and pictures after only 30 days and some don't allow pictures at all. Our archives here are valuable to everyone here and will be to woodworkers yet to come.

but what is the difference between attaching an image (this thread) using the paper clip, and uploading a JPEG file using the Manage Attachments window within the Attach files box border below - same thing?

Also, how do you separate photos as you did with a title or comment about the photo such as John Miliunas' car and beach photos.?

Thank you

S.

I think one would need to see if there still are users using modems. it would take forever to load a thread with large inline pics.

Also some netbooks are very slow (mine is) even on broadband. That would mean that when using the netbook I would effectively be unable to visit the creek.

I'm not saying don't do it 'cos of me but check (or poll) the menbership first.

how do I attach a picture to a "Reply to Thread" since there is no paper clip?

Steve Schlumpf

12-24-2010, 4:25 PM

Jim - to the right of the Insert Link icon is the image link. You can select to retrieve an image from either your computer or a URL. Your other option is to click on Advanced and use the paper clip.

David Stratton

12-26-2010, 11:34 AM

Steve - I have been attempting to post a picture to the Grizzly group and in that situation the only thing that comes up is a window asking for the URL of the image, no option to post from my computer. Here in the forum it gives the option of my computer or the URL. Any thoughts. It must be working for others because there are pictures there. Thanks.

Steve Schlumpf

12-26-2010, 11:37 AM

David - I am not familiar with the Grizzly group. Do you have a link that I can use to check out the photo issue?

David Stratton

12-26-2010, 4:50 PM

Steve,
Right here on this page if you go up to the header and click the dropdown at "community" then click groups it will take you to the groups area where you can then click on the "Grizzly Green Monster Group". Roger Chandler has told me there should be an icon in the upper right corner to click on to upload images but I have tried both Firefox and Google Chrome and still find no such icon. The main thing though is that when I attempt to attach an image when responding in a thread I do not get the option to retrieve an image from "my computer", just the window asking for the url of the image. Hope you have better luck than I did.

Steve Schlumpf

12-26-2010, 5:15 PM

David - in order to see what the problem was - I had to temporarily join your group. Once joined - here is what I saw:

175214

When I clicked on + Add Pictures (I highlighted it with a red box) - this is the screen that opened:

175215

Click on the area (again highlighted in Red) that is labeled - Add Files. That allows you to access your computer and upload the photo you want.

Give it a try and if you have any questions - let me know here or PM me directly.

Jeff Fagen

Thanks Steve, 180 DPI,3456 x 2592 ,2.16 MB

Steve Schlumpf

01-03-2011, 9:29 PM

Jeff - the limits for a jpg photo are 800 x 600 pixels with a file size no larger than 107 KB. I know the old software was able to downsize your photos automatically if you didn't do it yourself but I think that was a special patch that Aaron had written.

Do you have a graphics program you can use to resize your photos? If not, there are a number of free programs that work quite well. PM me if you would like some recommendations.
