Title: How long will a topic posting page remain live?
Post by: Doug ex-em4 on December 03, 2024, 06:47:53 PM
Assume you’re initiating a topic, say a long-winded report with lots of photos. It’s difficult to complete it at one sitting. So how long can you keep the posting page live?

You can always modify it later  ;)

Post what you can and then reply to yourself 2 or 3 times to reserve the subsequent posts. Then modify those replies in due course, that will get you round the issue of  the picture number limit in a single topic posting.

Not for LAF but I have written text for a post in a word document first. You can grab the link for pictures already loaded in your LAF gallery and put that into your document as well. Then cut and paste into here.

I don’t really want to post something that isn’t complete or correct.

That’s a cunning plan. Not sure about it but it’s certainly an idea. Incidentally, I didn’t know there was a picture limit in a single posting. Does it go by number of photos or files size?

Also a good plan. I’ve done that with the text before - just written it in "notes" then copied and pasted. Haven’t tried it with the photo links included.


Ther’e are some work-around solutions here but I’d still be interested to know how long an unfinished posting remains "live".
