END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

  This was originally rendered at 15,360x8640 and then rendered again at 1920x1080...hope you enjoy the detail and soft colours.

I don't mean to revive last week's discussion thom, but I think I just don't know why you don't want to use the gallery? Is there a particular reason?

Mmmh I see. In my opinion the gallery gets more views (at least if cK manages to fix what has been broken in the last software update, I mean the most viewed ans most rated in the last 30 days, which was making the gallery quite interesting in my opinion). When you post an image as an attachment, one has to click on the post to see it, because it does not appear in the board. Whereas in the gallery, the image can be seen as a thumb and enlarged if needed.

At least I see you have found some more intersting name than thomz (52)

No worries, I am just trying to give you advice so your pictures get more visibility.

If you post to the "Fractal Art" gallery specifically, the image will also appear as a new thread here, so it will get at least as much exposure as posting an attachment here.


I have never seen that, and unfortunately have no idea what could be causing it.

The image has to fit inside 1200x1200 and be at most 500K (the upload page's instructions don't mention that last part). It can definitely be either jpg or png, though the file size limit usually means you want to use jpg. Other image types might not work, though I think gif does.

For whatever reason, the keywords field is mandatory. I suggest putting the fractal type (e.g. mandelbox, flame, mandelbrot) there.

If it still won't work, I'd suspect a browser incompatibility, since it seems to work for almost everyone else. Current versions of Firefox seem to work with it and Firefox is free software.

My take on this:

1. Posting in the main gallery is reflected in the board anyway.
2. Even if posting in a personal gallery it's still as easy as posting your actual image in a text post to post the link to the image where you've uploaded it, whether that be your own external gallery (say on DA or R'osity) or in a personal gallery here.
3. The direct attachments on individual posts I believe should really only be used for one-offs, in fact if it were my forum since there is a section where folks can upload other types of files I would remove the ability to add attachments altogether.
