i really dislike the attachments of pictures that is allowed to be used in this forum...i like it better when you need to use a hosting site (which i still do)...you get to see the whole pic and you dont have to scroll left to right and up and down to see the model...some pics are huge...its annoying to me and i dont like it...otherwise this new forum is very cool!

I agree with this.
I use photobucket whch is free to use and I must have over 1.000 pictures on it.
If you keep them there uploaded the pictures to see on the forums will stay there and looks good.
Photobucket has slightly changed aprox half a year ago but still reativly easy is use to post pictures on forums.
I also think sever space for this forum will be less as the actualy picture is posted at photobucket and allthough you see it here in full only the link to that hosting site is posted in your post.
However this platform now used is far better then the Levora one.
It is the same as used by MOYBOYZ and the COBRATOYS forums.

I have had nothing but trouble uploading pics onto this forum. The last pic I uploaded was twice the size of the screen (sorry Dan) and it is very anoying. Can anyone tell us an easy way to upload pics that are all the same size?

I think Dan's post to kick off this thread provides the best answer...use a third party image hosting site such as Photobucket - easy to use, you can bulk upload all your pics there, then simply copy the IMG code of the pics you want to post into your thread - the forum software does the rest and you get something that looks like this:

I have to agree - all that scrolling just to see a bit of extra pic is annoying. Use photobucket or any other free pic hosting site, set your size and upload direct from your comp. Then use the 'IMG' tag (9th one along from the top of the post box here)
Click the tag and {img}insert here{/img} (I used different parenthesis as it would not show up) will appear and just paste your photo link between the 2 tags - so easy

Please have a look in the 'Edit Your Pictures' section in the Lounge, it will solve some problems for posting directly to the forum from your computer.
