Thanks for your reply

 just purchased, slight issue with when clicking the anonymous tab to change from anonymous to normal, the tab still stays on browse anonymously?

Tried it on my demo and got it working on there but cannot get it working on my main forum.    

I read you are in the process of a new update, any idea when the new upgrade will be available?

just doing a test upgrade from 3.4.8 to 4.0.8.1, upgrade went ok without any issues

now everything is being rebuilt, its so very slow though

I have used the manual option in the admin, is there a faster way to get everything converted/rebuilt

are there  ssh commands I can run as its usually faster that way, if so were do I find the information ?

thank you

thanks

The thumbs will display similar to the images you posted. Clicking on remotely linked images will simply expand them. Clicking on attached images will launch the lightbox.

that great, look forward to the next release
thank you

excellent news, thank you
will multi posted images in the same post require a separate lightbox for each image or can the llightbox be disabled to contained multi images in the same post message box.?

example of V2.3.6 posted images

multi image attachments



multi linked images

Perhaps many of us don't use / don't allow remote image hosting?

I agree however that using images in forums needs improvement and even with image attachments like I use at my site, version 2 was superior to version 3. In version 2 clicking on an image attachment opened the image in a new window. If you had multiple image attachments then you could open them all for comparison if you wanted to. Now it's either using Lightbox or Lightbox disabled. With Lightbox disabled image attachments open in the same window so doing image comparisons is no longer possible. Then if you do use Lightbox you can't save images and you can't do image comparisons.

Then of course there's the issue of no image size restrictions either for remote hosted images or image attachments.

IPS needs to tidy up the use of images in posts before adding fancy new enhancements.

The image attachment function is no use to me either then if thats how it works, i hadn't looked at that function fully.
my members need to be able to save the images that are posted.

looks like i am stuck on 2.3.6 then as theres no point in upgrading due to these image issues,

Thank you for your reply, appreciated

disappointing response,
i would have thought more people would have been interested in trying to get the function changed.

improve the image resize function for linked or remote posted images, control over the size of images posted would be a good move.

Posted in feedback and been requesting since start of V3 for the posting of remote/ linked images function to be improved or reverted to how it used to work in v2.3.6
Obviously still being over looked as there is no improvement, i may be one voice in thousands but this is a vital part of my forum and widely used by my members.

the resize function in v2.3.6 worked perfectly well but the developers changed the function with out any thought for customers who have in place active forums and have used there system for many years.
in V2.3.6 i could have 3 or 4 images that fitted quite easily in the post message area and could adjust image size globally to suit my requirements.

The image function in V3 has no options to adjust the size of the image in the post message area, the posted image fills the whole of the message area and resizes in the message area its self.
The images filling the whole of the post message area, and take up to much room with the way the function works at present.
If I upgraded i cannot change thousands of posted images i have in my forum to allow for this change in the resize function, it would take for ever and defeats the object of an upgrade.

I am all for improvements and moving with the development of IPB and would not have minded if the function change would have been an improvement but as it is now, there is no control over remote/linked images posted on the forum.
So i am stuck in limbo until this function is improved and cannot upgrade my forum, gallery or blog.

Please take another look at the image function and improve it in some way or give me a way to revert it to the old V2 setup.

Lastly i am talking about posted remote or linked images not image attachments

Thank you

Theres some nice features but best to test it your self away from your live forum, that what i did anyway.
if you have a lot of remote images like i do on my forum then don't upgrade until the resize option works as it used to on 2.3.6
the present way of posting of remote images with v3, fills the whole post box and resizes in the message box itself. not that good.
i need the 2.3.6 resize methode back, was not perfict but better than the present v3 setup

is this going to be fixed or improved in 3.04 ? i hope so......

The image resize percent option has been deprecated. The option just hasn't been removed. The image resizes to the size of the postbox.

no wonder i did not get an answer anywhere on this forum,the image resize option does not work anyway.
Would have been nice to have been told that in the first place.

The way they work at the moment is no good for my forum and i wont be upgrading until that option is back.

when posting remote images they fill the whole message box, this never used to happen on v2
also when clicking the image it expands the image in the post itself and distorts the board,
instead of loading in a separate browser or tab as it used to do in v2.
The old v2 resize was not perfect but this new setup is much worse for my forum were i have many posted images.
There must be a better way than this new setup or bring back the old img setup.

recent replies are there any settings, acp options,
like how many replies to show, member permissions, only certain forum replies show.
update interval setting, enable or disable so it does not show.

anyway to set all topics and replies read for all members on the board, when first upgrading ?
