I only have new messages received after the changeover. Again, apologies if it has already been asked. As per Simon's reply, if there is something important you need it is possible to get it, but only if there is no other way to find the information out.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted November 3, 2023 Member Share Posted November 3, 2023 I've just been reading the BDR thread... or, to be precise, looking at the pictures. The extra resolution in the default image upload is great. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonym Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) I agree, and being able to zoom in very useful. You have used 462.23 MB of your 488.28 MB attachment limit. " edit: I think we have an issue around image posting limits - I 'm practically out of space having been around a few years. And the URL image feature doesn't work.

There's been some discussion about this, and I think that it's quite a high priority now that the site has been migrated. I suggest two actions that will inform this: Members' comments on the current collection of Guides etc. Discussion of other sites/ clubs/ associations that do this well. I have a large collection of documents that I'd like to add. And we need to take into account the ownership of documents and what the Club should and shouldn't publish.

anthonym Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) about the images site limit problem, I THINK Invision supports webp image format so I have moved my long post from here to being a blog entry here The two images shown one is 92% smaller than the other: can you see any difference?

anthonym Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Possible solution to the non working "add image from URL" Quote I installed the image button plugin for the editor; the problem does not happen using that instead, and it's also in a more obvious place than the "insert other media" menu.

anthonym Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Nice pic. Yes I have been playing with this the last hour or two. It seems if we paste in a link of an image it displays it, but if we attempt to use the "Other Media" button and "Insert image from URL" then it doesn't. So keeping it simple seems to work, but using the button menu doesn't ============================================================================= EDIT: THE SOLUTION GIVEN BELOW is thusly: Quote dropbox links to a page where the image is displayed, not the actual image. Invision needs the image link. As a workaround, I clicked on your first link, then right clicked on the image and selected open image in new tab. I then copied the URL of the actual image from the new tab, then pasted in in the editing box and also tried it via the Other Media option. Worked fine both times. with thanks to "cobar" several posts below.. ============================================================================= and dropbox links don't, even if an image (this is just a webp image of test text) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tf1eo52q8830766jh6bmg/TestExtwas.webp?rlkey=db2vj39b3sinasvvfpirc3m3s&dl=0 works displays image not inline https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tf1eo52q8830766jh6bmg/TestExtwas.webp?rlkey=db2vj39b3sinasvvfpirc3m3s&raw=1 goes to download mode https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tf1eo52q8830766jh6bmg/TestExtwas.webp?rlkey=db2vj39b3sinasvvfpirc3m3s?raw=1 no worky https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tf1eo52q8830766jh6bmg/TestExtwas.webp?rlkey=db2vj39b3sinasvvfpirc3m3s&?raw=1 works display image not inline https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tf1eo52q8830766jh6bmg/TestExtwas.webp?raw=1 no worky ?dl=0 to ?raw=1 and this does work: from one of my web sites. The difference seems to be the link ends with an image ext such as "jpg" Edited November 3, 2023 by anthonym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may not be the issue, but I'll mention it since others may run into it. Invision requires links from secure sites. If you attempt to use a link with http rather than https, it will fail without giving a specific error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Jonathan will be unable to go and edit the old solution with this new one. Perfect example of my case for not restricting editing like it is.
