When I click on the "Insert Image" icon, the Image Properties box comes up but my list of downloaded images only goes to "B".

None of the images, that I've previously downloaded on LL's. after "B" exist.  It says that there are 170 images.  Is there suddenly a limit on how many images are stored or is there a problem at your end?

Cheers

Travers

Hi Travers,

The images still exist on the server, although the list in the image uploads window are now limited to the first 250 images for performance reasons.

Some of our members have up to 1000 or more images they have uploaded, and listing these was causing an unreasonably long delay for the image upload window to be displayed, which was one of the reasons image uploads were taking too long for some members prior to the recent upgrades to the forum software.

To use the other images you have uploaded previously please follow the steps below to access the full list.

STEP1 - Get the link to the image

  • Click on "Member Control Panel"  (found at top LHS of every page)
  • Click on the "File Manager" Tab
  • Select the image you wish to use from the list. (it will then show in the file preview)
  • Right click on the link next to "Download file", and select "Copy Link"


STEP 2 - Switch to your new post and insert the image.
  • Click "insert image" icon  as per usual
  • Paste the copied shortcut into the "image url" field (CTRL + V, or right click and choose paste)
  • Click preview button
  • Click "OK"

It is easier to do this if you open a Tab in your browser for both the post you are adding the image to, and for the file manager. This way you can switch between the two tabs and add multiple images without repeating all of the steps.


Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.

Thanks, Tony.

Not sure why I only have access to the first 170 files, but now I can access them all through the Member Control Panel.

Wow! Now we have all the emoticons back, too.Clap
