Yes confirmed.

There are two way to upload photos:

&

Uploads direct to the forum Server. Limited to 800 x 600 pixels, 500Kb per image, 5meg total per post.

Uploads to a New / separate Mayhem server. 6Meg per image, unlimited images per post, auto resizing, conversion, naming etc.
( Max of 10 images per post is a good guide ... otherwise it get very confusing! )

For those of us with a poor internet connection, too many photos in one post makes downloading pages very slow.

Good point!

I don't know which I use (but I suspect the first in which case your 800x600 is incorrect) but using the "attachments and other options" button under the message I upload photos 1500 x ??? under 300kb & they upload just fine. See all these:

just checking if i can still upload using the original method
I should add that this a photo I downloaded earlier such a nice boat I had to save the photo,

Martin, Its been sometime since I last posted a picture and I notice this time with this picture above that there was no Upload
to click on? Im sure there used to be?
So having selected my photo I just blindly hit Post and yep! it appeared on the thread.
Has anything altered or am I imagining the Upload bit?

I have managed to post a picture or two of my Boston Typhoon build but during the initial failed attempts I now have three identical pictures on the Mayhem image site. I cannot find a way to delete the excess images. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Nordlys · « **Reply #432 on:** February 05, 2018, 05:17:43 pm »

I've had a look myself and I thought there was a delete button at one time to do this?
Dont see it now.......

You can edit / delete your post for up to 30 minutes after irst posting.

After that, use Report to Moderator.

Hi Martin. The problem isn't about modifying or editing posts, but how to delete unwanted images from Mayhems image site.
Les

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #435 on:** February 06, 2018, 12:23:03 am »

Ah, let me look into that.... it was there!

Nordlys · « **Reply #436 on:** February 06, 2018, 08:51:27 am »

Les, I remember having this same problem very soon after Martin launched the new image site. I queried this myself at that time as I couldnt erase
pics I had uploaded to my album. Then a delete feature appeared and all was well!

Thanks N. Martin is tracking down the missing delete button. 😊

Maybe it is now working, in other words it is deleted

Trawlerman-Les · « **Reply #439 on:** February 13, 2018, 10:11:17 am »

Still no sign of the wayward delete button! ☹️

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #440 on:** February 13, 2018, 11:10:51 am »

Sorry for the delay, I've been pondering this for some time...... Delete will not be reinstated.

As per the Photobucket debacle, we don't want big holes all over the Forum from deleted photos.

Just send me a PM for photos you want deleting.

Trawlerman-Les · « **Reply #441 on:** February 13, 2018, 11:29:42 am »

I understand that Martin. It's just that when I was trying to post a photo on Mayhem I somehow ended up with three identical images in my image album. All they are doing now is taking up storage space. I just wanted to delete two of the three. Rather than make things complicated I'll leave them alone.

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #442 on:** February 13, 2018, 11:33:36 am »

Ah! Don't worry about that Les, the new server is set up differently to the Forum server.
It costs the same no matter how much we use.

"Fill ya Boots!"

Thanks for your concern.

Trawlerman-Les · « **Reply #443 on:** February 13, 2018, 12:12:03 pm »

Thank you Martin.

Nordlys · « **Reply #444 on:** February 13, 2018, 02:00:10 pm »

Its not photos on the forum that we want to delete its any unwanted photos in the Image album. I distinctly remember this issue from early on after
Martin had launched the new Mayhem Image storage, a delete button then appeared which enabled me to tidy up any photos not wanted
in the album - and I used it!

I give up.

Trawlerman-Les · « **Reply #447 on:** February 13, 2018, 02:32:25 pm »

Hi Nordlys
I can understand Martin's point. If we deleted any photo from our image album which had already been placed in a forum post, that photo could not appear in the post again, leaving text with no photo to back it up.

Les

Nordlys · « **Reply #448 on:** February 13, 2018, 02:49:13 pm »

Ok I get that, I dont know the complexities of how it works and wouldn't have thought of that scenario.
Posting photos on here has been an issue for me because of the file size limitations, so I stick to resizing using my old
Photoshop software.
Simples......
Thanks Les,
Nordlys.

Trawlerman-Les · « **Reply #449 on:** February 13, 2018, 03:03:56 pm »

Nordlys
I understand that there is now no need to resize any image which you have saved to your album. This is done automatically if you add a picture, from your album, to a post.
