Hi,

I'm used to paste images to some descriptions as they are better to understand than (and I don't have to struggle with my english ;-))

And doing so I sometimes get problems (3 different). I did'nt find any docu on how to use images correctly.

The problems I have:

Situation 1:

• I paste an image (or two)
• I click on the "Post" button
• I look to the thread
• image is gone
• I open the thread to edit it
• I look to "HTML" in the editor and I see the image is there, but it does not show up under "Preview" and not in the thread itself

That very often happens when I paste more than one image, an example is >>>here<<< to find.

This happens also when I first placed an image, got the message "to large" and have to edit now.

Situation 2:

• after pasting the image and "post" it the message is not sent and it tells me that I have used more than 50000 chars (don't know at the moment if it's the right number, starts with 50 that was what I remember)

In the meantime I know that reducing to 256colors help, but it nerves, because then starts editing rescale the image in editor, paste it once more, .... and it's a try&error. That is time I don't want to spent for answering questions.

And I can't imagine how some people place screenshots as large as they did (have no one at the moment ;-( ) that I would never get in without the error message.

Situation 3:

• trying the button in the top toolbar to place an image results in "Error Code: IO Error" (Win7x64). I haven't got this dialog working.

So my primary question is: is there any docu on how to insert images and how these images has to be formatted/prepared/...

The secondary question would be: please do something to get this running with less problems. I want also to say that copy&paste is the much faster option than to save the screenshot to file and do an attachment with open-dialog ==> get directory ==> get file ...

Thx in advance, - alfred -

PS: can we start discussing the 1.5MB limit for files? E.g. to exchange minimal sample-data for Civil3D needs with some (not many) styles more than 1.5MB (zip), most often you have no chance to make it smaller even with purging all you can. With every version it get's more complicated to exchange files for better/faster support.

That I sometimes create video-sequences to make it better than just screenshots ... yes, also for that more than 1.5MB would be great. ;-)

Could you try using the insert image option in a new post (one you have not already pasted into) and confrm if that works as expected?

Hi Eric,

>> Could you try using the insert image option in a new post

yes I tried, in a new message, in a replay ... without having pasted any image or even without having typed any text.

And just to make sure: I can open the dialog, I can browse to a file, but when selecting a file (what type ever, png, jpg, bmp, ...) and press the OPEN button in the dialog ==> the message "Error Code: IO Error" gets written to the headerline.

Could you attach the image/file (add as attachment rather than image) in reply to this topic so I can do some additioanl testing.

Hi,

these are two (of any) images where I get the error.

I also attached a video that shows how this runs for me.

Thx, - alfred -
