Hi we have just made a new change to make uploading images easier.
Now when you click the image button you can either upload an image on your hard drive or you can enter the url that you want.
Just then click 'Insert Image' and job done!

I hope this helps and helps you upload your images!
Regards
Richard and the rest of the Pentax User Team.

Is this for images into posts or Gallery?

Tried uploading from the hard drive. It seems you have to resize the image for the forum first. Without resizing it did not seem to work, or did I not wait long enough because of the file size

Smaller file sizes make sense, and I use the same spec as for EPZ e2 members. 1000 pixels on the longest side, 400K maximum. That seems to work fine.
Best regards, John

It will resize to 800px x 800px - but sizing your photos down slightly will help with upload speed.
if the problem persists then please submit a report and I'm sure we can help.

And where does one find this "image button" and "Insert Image"?

I'm using Firefox, I don't know if that makes ma difference?

Hi, Firefox makes no difference asI use it. it's the box labelled 'Image' below the box where you type comments, to the right of Link and to th left of Add Comment buttons.

This should be in the Announcements section. Many people didn't see it in the Photos section.

Any significant changes should be "announced".

ETA: The sub-title of the announcements section says: "Anything new concerning the Pentax User Magazine or web-site will be posted here."

Also, "How to post images new!" is not the same as "New way to post images!"

Keywords: Charming, polite, and generally agreeable.
