Not sure how to handle Pictures
sck:
I am running a SMF 1.1.16 forum and up till now I have not let anyone up load pictures to posts. I have just been making them link to a PhotoBucket type account. However, the downside is the pictures go away when the PhotoBucket account is changed. I would like to let members upload the photos to the forum so they stay forever. What is the best way to do this? I turned on the attachments but the size limit seems small but I don't know what to set it to. I see on here it is (Restrictions: 36 per post, maximum total size 14000KB, maximum individual size 5096KB), that seems like a alot
What all settings do I need to adjust to get it working?
I also seem to remember that there was a security issue with attachments, has that been corrected?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
K@:
Depends, really.
Do you have lots of space on the server?
For what it's worth, my forum's set to allow three images per post, Max attachment folder space: is 10240, Max attachment size per post: and Max size per attachment: are both set to 256 and the max height and width are set to 400.
I don't seem to get any hassles.
The security problem was fixed a long time ago, thankfully. :)

space should not be a problem (223MB of 10,000MB used)
K@:
It's surprising how quickly that space gets used-up, with image files.
I think it'll be a case of "Suck it and see", with this.
Try a few settings and see how you go.
After all, it's easy enough to change them, innit? :)
sck:
Yea, I would like to limit the attachment ability to a single board for an activity we have going in that board and let all other attachments stay as links to photo hosting sites. However, I have not seen a setting that does it.
