Brian Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 We just moved one of our sites over to S3. We are an image heavy community. I want to know what are the normal recommendations that you have set for max attachment size + image pixel size? Do you recommend your users to use different services like Flickr, YouTube, etc. and just embed? Thank You!
Joel R Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 You're asking about a couple of different items so I'm going to parse the question into: Attachments - These are attachments that appear in any content areas (not gallery). This really depends on your site's need to have high quality and large-sized photos in places like blog posts, forum posts, or replies. You can embed images from third party services into the editor. Gallery Images - These are images that appear specifically in the gallery. You cannot embed images from third party services into the Gallery. Videos - This is the only area that I feel strongly about. I'm personally not a fan of storing video in Invision Community at all, mainly that the suite does not encode or deliver the video. It's literally just a raw file. This is where I strongly feel users are better off uploading the video to external services like YouTube or Vimeo, which offers a video experience that users expect.
