I've just seen some database errors coming through. Acorn seems to be having particular problems, sorry Acorn if you are able to read this.

I've run some PHP and SQL diagnostics and hope these have helped. If not let me know.

Hi Peter-just tried again but still no joy !

It looks like the server partition needs more space. This is being attended to, in fact it may have been done automatically in the middle of the night (at least that is what is supposed to happen).

Hi Peter-seems ok now,i was able to post a couple of photos.

can you make it easier to identify where to click when enlarging thumbs on a post ?
it took me a while to realise how to do it and even now i find it difficult to position the cursor.

Can't alter the standard vBulletin software. I don't really understand what you mean - you just click anywhere on the thumbnail picture.

Hi-when i post a picture there is a box under the words which says there is a picture but nothing as such to "click" on.
if you carefully move the cursor around the l/h edge of the box you sometimes "find" a mark which when you click on it brings up the picture.
there is no indication if there are multiple pictures.
i have noticed that some posts have the picture on show without going through this performance,how do they do that ?

Hi Philip,
I think the pictures you are refering to were placed using photobucket http://photobucket.com/ or similar web sites.

Philip,

This is how your Adire HE10 post with attachments appears to me and to most others:



Prince, I know that Petercom would prefer that thread images were hosted (like mine) using Photobucket, uploadit, etc, but Philip loaded his onto the WD server as Attachments... I guess he does not have a PictureHosting account.
I'm a bit busy (and so is Peter probably!) otherwise I'd explain how to do this as I have to others - any volunteers?

Hi-this is NOT how i see it when i view the post.
i get the box but NOT the thumb.
i upload the image from "my pictures" on the computer and the image does transfer but not show on the post !

Philip

ps-it happens the same when i view most other attatched photos so it cant be the way i do it (can it ?)
