I'm trying to attach a png file to a post but I keep getting an error message: "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."
I've never attached a file to one of my posts here before so unless my quota is zero I shouldn't be exceeding it. And I've noticed that others have been able to post images, so ...

Your (and everybody's) quota is zero. I wish they'd remove the ability to attach, but it's otherwise completely normal.

The option should be gone now. Imgur is the way to go. Sorry about the storage/upload situation previously, guys.

To embed images, put the image url between the image tags like so:
Code: Select all
[img]https://i.imgur.com/klFAd6S.jpg[/img]

I did. The tags were created using the forum software button and the URL was copy-pasted, so everything should be correct.

The url you posted was to the webpage. You need a link to the picture itself. Imgur will give it to you but I don't recall the specific steps off hand. It's on the right while you're looking at the image and logged in.

The image you need is "https://i.imgur.com/odwd4ML.png" which when put in like this
And produces
To get the url you need, right-click on the image then select "copy image address" and paste the resulting url between the img tags. The image address should always end in ".jpg"/".jpeg", ".png", or ".gif"
Code: Select all
