Leo B, click on member control panel and you will notice that the file manager is gone.

Are pictures currently uploaded going to be deleted sometime in the future? I hope not. It would leave a lot of broken links in my posts.

I'm sending pics to members by PM now, which in my mind defeats purpose of forum. I am a visual guy, and don't like a long paragraph of how to do something. A picture is worth a thousand words. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

I am hoping TecknTrek (Doug) or one of the other guru's will clear this up for us. I have had the same problems, unable to uphold from my laptop.

| As I mentioned in another thread, there are a number of free photo sharing sites you can use. You can then simply link to the photos in your posts using the IMG icon or tags. Presumably, anything posted there for viewing here wouldn't be sensitive, so privacy wouldn't be an issue. |

Marwayne et al, Apparently the rules have changed with a new server and host. The server will no longer store images; they must be hosted on another site such as Imgur, Photobucket, etc. It was nice while it lasted but I guess we out grew it. The old links still appear to work. Doug could clarify it for us. ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

I just found out you can't post PDF's anymore. There is no way to upload them. Is there any way to fix this? If not it is going to impact the information that this site provides. ------------- JandL 2013 Honda Ridgeline 2012 177 2 Paynes in a Pod |

Sorry everyone, I know I've been largely absent for the last 2 months. Too many things hitting at the same time, including starting a major kitchen remodel and my father-in-law and I are doing most of the work. I didn't know about the server change or that we were losing file management abilities. It looks like existing files and avatars still exist so old links won't be broken. No doubt too much bandwidth was being used by the files and rpodadmin is footing the bill, so we are fortunate to have what we have. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

However, embedding the PostIMG's tool in this forum would have provided the ability to upload (to PostIMG) without having to provide for storage within the forum (see https://postimage.io/mod.php ). Please suggest this as a possible solution that minimizes forum bandwidth while still allowing pictures to be uploaded through the forum. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |
