Question about number of photos in a post

[Terry Mac]

Hey Don,

A little curious about the number of photos that can be in a post. Last night I found out that there was a limit of 4 photos/post. Is this a self-imposed limit, or is it something generated by the forum? Okay either way, just a little curious.

I know I'm not Don, but I believe it's an admin setting for the forum. I believe it's purpose to be that of saving bandwidth, by not allowing someone to post tons of pictures in a single post. Or you can be like me, and be a real bandwidth-whore, and multi-post, putting four pictures to a post... That is, if the admins/mods allow the multiple posting!

[Don]

Hey, Guys. You are correct, it's an admin setting. I've had it changed to eight pictures per post which will probably be the maximum. Let's make sure we size our pictures before linking them to an appropriate size, we don't want everyone waiting forever for threads to load.

All the best, Don

Also, if you're using PhotoBucket, ImageShack, etc., the pictures should already be resized to something that's not outrageously huge. Correct me if I'm wrong though. It did happen that one other time! :D

[Don]

Yeah, I think bucket is 600 pix wide max, could be 680.

I just looked at my PhotoBucket account, and it appears the default sizing is set to 800X600. IMO, that's not a bad size for displaying. Then again, if I were to access a site with 800X600 pictures from home, out in the boonies, where my ISP uses carrier pigeons, I could be in trouble! :eek:

[Don]

Too right. I should have checked on the size.
