bergkamp Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Can anyone tell me why this is, how to change this, get permission? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 They're the automatic forum settings and unless one of the admin for SI or SI change them, you can't . Each forum has different settings or has some different settings as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergkamp Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks for reply. How come others have uploaded images? I want to upload basic screenshots to emphasise a point, that's all. Surely the admin people can allow this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergkamp Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Excuse me if i'm being dumb but its not working. I can select a file with insert image, it loads but then says 0 files loaded. WTF!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Äktsjon Männ Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 You need to upload your file to an external image hosting site first (such as imgur.com), then post the direct link here in img tags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergkamp Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ok cheers Everyone. That sucks though. You still have to use external sites and all that hassle. Why?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 That's the way it is. I guess it's a memeory and storage thing. If everyone uploaded and stored their images on the forum through the forum it would make them really slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Because the server would collapse if everything is uploaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergkamp Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 ok but i can't put a direct picture on the forum, just a link? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 You upload it too Photobucket or Imageshack and then copy the direct link from the upload or the IMG upload and then post it on the forums . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Äktsjon Männ Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 If you put the direct link in img tags it will show as an image here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergkamp Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ok wheres img tags though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I know Photobucket does it, but when you've uploaded the image, you click on to it and you can choose one of four options. The bottom one is usually the IMG one. They already have it ready for you to copy from there and paste on here. If you gone with one that doesn't. Post them in these .' alt='icon14.gif' alt=':thup:'>.'>. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Rowell Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 It is also a security matter. The moment any forum, including this one, allows people to start loading files, there is risk of that as it would open a door for people to upload viruses etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
