When adding photo's to a post I seem to be having issues!

Firstly, I choose the image but the upload information appears to be hidden behind the text of the editor page (the bit you type in).  Secondly, I manage to get one photo uploaded and showing as a thumbnail at the end of the post but can't seem to be able to upload more than one.  It says it's uploaded successfully and shows in the box below but doesn't actually show as any files size thus not actually appearing on the post!

Also, whilst I'm on the subject of photo's, any I do upload own the website don't show on Tapatalk??

If it doesnt show the pix size that means its too big, so you need to resize or compress.

Thumbnails seem to appear if you upload but dont then Add them.

1) Tapatalk is sh*t
2) Max file upload limit is 3mb, this is forced via PHP and as a result, can't be changed on the forum easily
3) Add all the files BEFORE pressing upload

Nope doesn't work.

I'm talking about adding pics on the website by the by, not on Tapatalk ;)

I select first picture, upload then add which works. However, second picture, follow same procedure and what I have typed in the text box disappears and nothing else happens.

I am assuming there should also be some form of dialog/information that pops up when I select Add-editor (Multiple) for instance yet I see nothing? As I mentioned, the upload bar appears to be hidden behind the text box when I do upload that first picture!!

You have to select ALL the pics you want to upload and do it all with one click, rather than one at a time.
I got fooled by that as well! ;)
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

As above, all in one shot. I need to look at the upload script and see if i can tweak it and make it more user friendly.

What ever you have done works. Much easier to understand and as I can now see what's going on it helps ;)

It also appears that anything over 2mb won't upload so assuming the limit is lower than 3mb but that's no issue. Easy to resize to get around that.

Thanks :)

Yes your right, look like the host has actually changed the php value from 3mb to 2mb! Thats a little bit annoying!

Whatever you did Fr499y's works much better for me!! I did figure out how to add multiple pics last week but it took a lot of maneuvering. Today it was very simple and easy so thank you!
