Default what happened to "thumbnails" ??

I must have missed the memo...
USED to be.... when posting, I would go to "advanced" then select "manage attachments" and upload photos.
I would have the options of
A) large
B) medium
C) small...
now I select advance/manage attachment, I get a screen to upload photos, but they post HUGE (actual size)... how can I go back to posting thumbnails?

Also, is there a limit on photos? the last 2 pix I tried to upload went to 99% then the upload screen went "blank"

Thanks
Frank

Yeah, something ain't right since the last "upgrades". Plus, when there's text, the text gets scattered around the images.

can't answer your question on thumbnails, but I had the same issue as you when uploading photos.. someone suggested I clear my cache and browsing history, and that fixed the problem..

You should ask in Forum Issues
He just did!

Personally, I've never figured out how to do thumbnails...and I don't like them because they seem too small. But then, really large pictures suck too. I just use the "picture icon" next to the smiley face to post pictures. They've never been too big,..to me anyway.

It'd be nice, if the code allowed it, to size your images like you can in html. Actually, I'm pretty sure bbcode had the capability, it just may not be enabled on this board.

"He just did! "

Thanks to your "Editing" skills ... that's why I removed that reference...Thank god it was within the 4 hr window

Nope. That's Dan Severn when he was dabbling in "rasslin". This was in Ft. Worth, May '98 and I got to ref his match.

As for the codes...I'm ignorant on that. Like I said I just post mine and hope they're not really big.
