Title: How to add an image
Post by: Helmut Ortmann on July 14, 2013, 09:38:39 pm

Hello,

I want to visualize a subject by using an image. How can I insert an image?

I saw there is an image button. There I think I have to insert a url. But I saw no possibility to upload an image and reuse it in the image field.

Thanks,

Helmut

Hi Helmut,
you need to upload the image to some web-server (e.g. imageshack, dropbox, or whatever; Sparx does not offer such a resource). Then you can include the image link with the 3rd icon above in the post composer.

Hello q

thanks for your valuable answer.

I'll try not to think it over.

Estimating from the speed of a forum search I assume that Sparx' servers are powered by steam. The main memory is likely still ferrite and the mass storage is paper tape. So the resource for pictures are limited.

Note from my lawyer: the above statement is purely fiction. Use this information on your own risk. Compliance with forum rules is not guaranteed.

It's not quite as bad as qwerty is suggesting. I very strongly suspect that the problem is simply that YaBB (this forum software) stores all its data in text files on the server instead of a database.

In all likelihood, that's the reason why the default for search duration is a week. The developers know about the lack of scalability.

Good to know, they've learned something (pebble guys them  ;D). Doesn't help much in practice though  :-/!

Couldn't resist,

Sorry for replying on such an old topic. But in the current forum, attachments/image-upload can be simply enabled by the administrators. So please?!
