Is there a limit on the number of pictures that can appear in a thread?
Is there a limit on how long a thread can be?
Thanks,
Tim

Tim IIRC there is a limit of 8 photos per post and no limits to the length of a thread.
One can make more than 1 post to get more photos within a given thread.

So much to learn, so little time.....
Thanks Ken!

If you want more photos in one post and have an image editing program you can make a composite image that contains more than one photo and it only counts as one. I do this often, sometimes to show different views of the same woodturning.
Examples:
Threaded_Ebony_Box3_comp_smaller.jpg penta_platter_cedar_IMG_7434.jpg BOC_B_comp.jpg bottle_stoppers_Italy_comp_IMG_7764.jpg Alex_presents_2017.jpg
There, 20 photos in 5 composite images.
Some pictures are quite small but sufficient for the purpose, I think.
Also, I agree with Ken, no limits to the length of a post (that I know of, I've written some very long!) but there is a minimum length of 10 characters. But that's rarely a problem.

Good to know and thanks for the suggestions, John.

One additional point...there is a physical limit to the number of images within a single post beyond the 8 that cane be attached...and "smilies" count in that limit. I forget what the specific limit is for this forum software, however, but I have run into it personally over the years with occasional "overuse" of smilies.

Is that still the case or has something changed? I ask because I did a test last night and added a bunch of emojis to the post with five images and didn't hit a wall. I forget how many I added, maybe 10, different in case identical ones were treated as instances.
Testing again, four lines of just emojis without images.
I got this error message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following errors occurred with your submission
You have included a total of 44 images in your message. The maximum number that you may include is 15. Please correct the problem and then continue again.
Images include use of smilies, the BB code [img] tag, and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deleting some:
One oddity - when testing the Preview Post at first let me insert 42 emoji without giving the error, gave the error message after I added two more. Thereafter, it wouldn't let me proceed until I cut it back to 15. 16 was too many. Maybe the software is just messing with me!

No changes to the software here in a long time, John. And yes, I was going to guess on 15-16 being the limit.

Again, thanks for the information,

Yikes! I'm clueless.
I just tried it on one of my iPads, an Air 3 (OS 14.3) viewing the forum with Safari and it worked the same as on my laptop and desktop computer. These are screenshots from my iPad, the msg and after tapping a thumbnail:
screenshot.jpg screenshot 2.jpg
I assume you mean the zoom and the control of the screen was stolen after you tapped on one of the image thumbnails? Or was it when viewing the post itself?
What kind of iPad are you using?
A double-tap didn't do anything?
Using the 14.3 OS software or did you just update to the new 14.4? (Settings/General/About)
Maybe try it again, perhaps after closing down Safari and restarting the iPad.
Oh, are you in the Mobile mode or the VB4 Default (Full Site) mode? I've heard that Mobile mode may have some limitations. I did test both modes on my iPad just now and saw the same thing as in the screen captures above.
I wonder if anyone else has seen that. I've posted hundreds of photos but haven't yet had similar feedback.
JKJ
Fer crine out loud. I didn’t do anything except set my iPad downvote two hours ago and pick it back up now.
And it sees your pix just fine now, as usual.
never mind.
Whew! Glad it's working!
Ha, maybe it's Apple messing with you, slowly nudging you to buy a new iPad.
Or a stray cosmic ray. This is a fact, discovered about 40+ years ago - it's rare but a cosmic ray can change a bit in some types of memory chips causing random problems. A restart will fix it.
JKJ
Thanks, John. Now I have to worry about cosmic rays.
What? You want things to work logically every time? Sheesh...
