Ca Now Hosts All User Images For Free

Maybe people are being confused about this because the FAQ says we need to find our own image host;

I didn't see anyone else in this thread suggesting to rewrite that, sorry if it is inappropriate.

I´m a little confused about the newest change of the attachment manager!
why do you MUST fill in all the options?!?! like category sub-category copyright?!?! WTF? why isn´t that just a additional option?

thanks for answers…

**Elwell** · November 24th, 2008, 01:13 PM

It is an option. Just leave them blank.

really? did you upload an img today? I think It´s really new…like 1-2 days old…

anyway, maybe it´s only my browser? but I cannot upload without filling in every single box!

thanks for help

**Elwell** · November 24th, 2008, 02:05 PM

Hmm, your right, that is new.
I know Jason has mentioned changes/new features in the works, I'll leave it to him to comment.

**Wykin** · November 24th, 2008, 08:47 PM

I'd like to second KrisCrash about the FAQ. My first posts have been IMG tags thinking that was the rule. Today I made myself a sketchbook and noticed the title of this thread... I had to fix my sketchbook, which wasn't a problem (though it took me several edits to get it right), but it would be nice to update the FAQ as soon as changes are made

And I too thought it weird to have to fill out all the options before being able to upload an image.

**algenpfleger** · November 25th, 2008, 04:15 AM

Yes, it's kinda annoying to have to fill out everything every time o_o If at least the name could be put somewhere in the profile settings so you don't have to type it every time? And how exactly do the changes affect the image? Or is it more of a registration mechanism? Like those proposed in the Orphan Works Bill, but for free, that would actually be pretty clever.

**seacrost** · November 25th, 2008, 06:29 AM

unnn,,, excuse me >,< im new here,, so.....
anyone can tell me how to post pics here,,? sorry 4 disturbing ><

**Clochette** · November 25th, 2008, 09:01 AM

Use the little paper clip icon you see at the top of your thumbnail when you click "Post reply". It opens a popup and there you manage your attachements. The things to fill are boring but it's a way to identify pictures, because of the Orphan Bill right? If it can help artists to have less of their works used without permission ... do it!

Orpahn Bill... I^m reading this all the time! sorry if it^s the wrong place... but whats that?

anway, also wanted to ask what copyrights I as a 17 year old nobody got....? I mean, should I fill in the copyright box with my name? or as unknown?
thx for help

cheers

Anyone else experiencing "Invalid File" after filling out the Copyright info, category, etc... while trying to upload a .JPEG file (9:44 PM Alaska Time 04 December 2008 in case there is server issue right now or some such event) after uploading?

**Baltar** · December 6th, 2008, 05:30 PM

@Sudsy: I'm not getting that issue, but all of my images (luckily only a couple) that I uploaded before the fields were all required to be filled won't load because they are pending approval.

I'm wondering if people are going to have to go back and re - upload everything or if it's just a temporary issue that's going to be fixed.

**monsi** · December 11th, 2008, 04:43 AM

I'm seeing "attachment pending approval" all over the place, with the images attatched not showing.. It's not every post with attatchments, just some.

It makes no sense though, because some of the ones in my sketchbook that worked before are now pending approval?

**sleepingbeauty** · January 7th, 2009, 08:21 AM

ok, thanks for notification

**mairuku** · January 14th, 2009, 02:13 AM

I know it's been said, but the categories/subcategory/genre/media is very irritating. It would be nice if it was preset. I had 11 images to upload to my sketchbook, but screw that. I'm going back into photoshop and combining some together. It's ridiculous and takes up so much time!

**Rockhart** · January 15th, 2009, 09:59 PM

I'm going to second and third what Mairuku said... I leave for 3 months and when I come back posting images suddenly got annoying

**syrez** · January 21st, 2009, 05:39 AM

Hm, I tried to edit my post options via the paperclip button yesterday and today. 'Cause i thought, i could change my thumbnail for the sketchbook thread.

But i get a Database Error all the time, can anyone help?

Same thing happened to me and I can't figure out what it is.... its really annoying though because I would like to post my sketchbook...

**chaosrocks** · January 21st, 2009, 07:10 PM

i wish copyrighting was optional, becasue alot of what I post to my SB I really don't care if any one steals it.

i wish one could multi post ca attachments
for instance how do I manage the image at the top of the EOW thread... If I can't image attach it I have to change the tittle and reload it every time, and that seems like an extravagant use of space, to reattach the same image over 100 times

**FreeLiner** · January 21st, 2009, 08:13 PM

I think i've seen this asked a couple times but never saw a definitive answer:

How do i get the thread thumbnail to update with the latest picture? Right now mine is stuck on the first image i uploaded in the first post. Would be nice to have the recent stuff out to pull people in to comment

**syrez** · January 22nd, 2009, 08:26 AM

yeah freeliner, either this or the option to edit the thumbnail , i read somewhere in this thread, that it may be possible with the paperclip button, coming along your thread in the list...

but for me it gives a database error..

**FreeLiner** · January 24th, 2009, 01:15 AM

great sadness.
next time i start a thread i'm going to test a theory, will get back when i do.

**FreeLiner** · January 25th, 2009, 09:42 PM

tested a theory on getting the thumbnail to update, didn't work.

Idea was if the first post i did in a new thread contained only one image, then the next post a single image as well, no change, thumb is still the same in the main forum gallery.

**FreeLiner** · January 29th, 2009, 12:31 AM

Success!
Okay if you want the thumbnail to update on your thread heres the way to play it, not sure if it's the right way, but it works:

-First post, post only one image in the new thread (image A).
-Next time you post, post the new image (image B), then edit the first post you made in that thread, go advanced, and remove the original image (image A).
Then, you upload a smaller size of (image B) then upload (image A) after it (upload both images in the same post, don't upload the original image A in a new post).

You want to upload only one image in the first post, so then you only have to delete one image.
The reason you upload a smaller version of you image B is so it doesn't take lots of space next to image A

Sorry if it's confusing, i'm not the best at explaining. i figured it out because i saw peoples threads having small thumbnails of the latest work on the first post.
It's jsut a matter of doing the first post with only one image to make it a faster process, because the image that will show in the thumbnail must be the first image in the thread.

hope this helps

**badkittyamy** · January 29th, 2009, 01:07 AM

i still don't get his. my post looks cluttered and ugly using the attachment manager. I found myself simply getting frustrated and can't really see myself even bothering to update anything if that's the way it "must" be done when using img tags and photobucket is a million lightyears more simple

You can insert attachments into the body of your post the same way you would if using IMG tags. After the images are uploaded, click the paperclip icon at the top of the posting window and you'll see a list of all the files attached to that post. Just click on one to insert it.

**BubbaGump** · January 29th, 2009, 11:27 AM

What about studies? Technically they're copies from existing books so would you hold the copyright to your studies?

I don't think anyone would get ticked if someone copied his/her studies seeing as they're second generation copies...

**DeuceRok** · February 22nd, 2009, 10:34 PM

maybe we can streamline the thing so we can batch upload?! maybe not click 4 things for EVERY pic

**Gangsta Geek** · February 23rd, 2009, 05:34 AM
