Unable to post pics

[Governor General]

I haven't posted in awhile, been trying to post a 4 jpg photo, keep getting data base error message. Suggestions?

What hosting service are you using?

I get the same thing when trying to attach images through the attachment menu.

I posted this in another thread on the Fantasy boards where someone was having trouble using the attachment images, it seemed to work for them:

Upload the pictures somewhere, copy a direct link to the picture and paste said link into your message here in-between the codey bits the circled button here:


gives you, that should do the trick.

My usual Insert Image technique seems to be working.

If I click Attach then Choose File, select an image and hit post, I get the the message:

Database Error. Please try again. If you receive this message again please contact an administrator.

I'm getting the same Steve, I don't use a hosting service does this mean I can't post photos anymore?

Use the forum gallery

[Jeff965]

Ok so it won't let me upload an image to the gallery without picking a category, none of which relate to the photo I'm uploading. And even if I get a photo up how do I move it from the gallery to the thread I want to post it in.
More importantly does anybody know how we bring this to the attention of the new owners so they can get the attachment facility working again?

Jeff in the Gallery page where you’re looking at the categories, there’s a button just above called My Gallery. It’s via that that I upload pictures (and within which you can create your own categories).

Cheers Steve I'll persevere  but I'll be gutted if the attachment buttons demise is a permenant thing

Yes, I just got the same database error message after trying to post some pictures as attachments. Worked fine only a few days ago (on the new site).

I'll look into the gallery function...

Yes, just had this happen too. The only available categories are the various painting clubs, LPL rounds &c; doesn't allow me to select or create a category for my own user gallery. Has this function (making a new user gallery where like me you've not had one before) been disabled?

There had to be a downside to switch I didn't see coming.  I didn't think it would be this.  The old  attachments feature made uploads from my PC a breeze once I resized the pics.  It was nice to share photos without having to go through the rigmarole of hosting images.

Is the database issue something that is going to be corrected or is it a new feature?
