It came to my attention that you folks have questions but no place to ask them.   


Now you do.

For some reason I cannot upload a photo for love nor money. I use my iPad to post on here, is this the issue?

I have no idea.  I just took a look at the logs and I'm not seeing any errors but the most common reason is either wrong format or too big.  Until I get more storage on this server (probably before July 1st) I'm limiting upload attachments to 10MB.

Posting from iPad.  Seeing if photo shows.
ETA: Yes, yes it does.  I have to give it access to photos, though.

The kids were ranting about auto-correct this morning.  Can you tell?

This is why emoticons are so important.





They eliminate ambiguity.

Trying to finger out how to post a picture(s).  I know there's the "Insert Image" button option when you're posting...  But how do you get the picture in there?

I'm a veg Danny.  Did I ever mention technology and I don't get along well?






Also have this weird feeling like somebody's watching me...  but only 5% of the time.

Here you go:
Click the little + under the message,  then click "Browse".  Go to wherever you keep your images and select the image you want to upload.   Once you have them selected you can post or preview your post.   (Images below)
If the images are on the web somewhere, you can post the direct link via the 'img' button above and should look like this:

Code Select Expand

As to the feeling, I'm not sure why you would feel that way...

NT2C curious about the YT rule. Correct me if I'm wrong, we are no longer posting embedded YT videos in topics, you would rather we post just the link to the YT, correct?

Just want to clarify because that seems like the only real "rule" change I saw.

If that feeling doesn't go away in a week, let me know.

I'm limiting upload attachments to 10MB.

Oooooh! Before they were only 1MB! That's cool! That's a lot easier to post a few pics instead of using Imgur then changing the size.

Which would you prefer? I'm sure any attachments we upload are stored in the server so we don't have to rely on 3rd party image hosting. But could eventually lead to a much larger server needed and more bandwidth which = $$$

This is honestly my concern as well.

My server currently has 20GB of storage on it.  I'm using 5GB for my mail server and a few other things, and reserving 5GB for the data this place needs, which leaves 10GB I can allow for uploads.  I can bump that 20GB to 40GB for about $65 over my normal server bill, but to go beyond that I'd need to change our hosting package.  That's not difficult to do and I doubt anyone would even notice the change since we have a dedicated IP and it would be done during the wee hours, but it would significantly bump our costs. Our goal is to gradually build this place up to the point where it becomes self-sufficient (through advertising/affiliation links/paid subscriptions) and put storage concerns behind us.
