Invision Power Board- Picture Question

[brooke527]

Okay is there anyway to upload pictures into a post from your computer. What I mean is not uploading them to image hosting site (i.e. photobucket)and then adding the url.

 

We want to be able to upload them from our computer. I am not having any luck figuring it out. Any help would be great!!!

 

Similiar to what yall have here---WHERE CAN I GET IT!!!!!!

 

Thanks

Brooke

I assume you mean avatars, the kind of pics that are under our names?

If so, if you mean how to upload your own personal avatar here in the TCH forum, do this:

Click "My controls" at the top of this page.

To the left you should see "Edit Avatar Settings" in "Personal Profile", please click it.

Then you just need to follow the instructions.

 

Or

 

If you mean how to upload avatars to your own forum for your members to choose from. This I am not sure about since I currently have no IPB installed on my account, but there should be an option for it in the admin section.

Thanks!

 

Actually I mean if someone types up their post and wants to add a picture into their post. From that section!

When you are typing your post,

look above for the IMG link, which will prompt you for the link to the image url

 

or in your forum admin you can allow attachments

and below where you type

there is a place to browse for the attachment (image) on your computer.

Not sure which version of IPB you are asking about but if it's the one in cPanel do the following.

 

Go into the admin control panel.

Select Security & Privacy under under System Settings.

Find Allow images to be posted and set it to "yes".

Now go to the Topic, Posts & Polls section.

Under Posts & Posting set your size limits and file extenstions you will allow.

Set Show images in posts to "yes".

And if you want to show thumbnails make sure it is selected.

Check list for allowing forum uploads for IPB,

if you have trouble uploading users avatars or posting images:

 

in your admin CP, check:

 

Board settings > Security and Privacy > Allow images to be posted? YES

 

 

forum control, edit permissions for each forum, allow upload checked.

 

 

users and groups > manage user groups >

edit group, Max upload file size (in KB)= reasonable size

(disable this groups upload by entering 0 into this field.

This will turn off the multi-part form the uploads use. )

(default is 0, I use 100 )

 

 

users and groups > manage user groups >

edit forum access, allow upload for each forum.
