It's simple to add images to your post, after multiple requests on how to do it

Getting the error, File To Large.

I am capable of resizing the images. However, too much resizing does cause image artifacts that can make the detail blurry or pixelated.

-------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE ATTACHMENT SIZE LIMITATIONS?

Currently, the error message when attaching a file that is too large is: "The file is too large". So, what are the size limits?

What would be good information in both the error message AND the "Attachments" tab is:
What is the max image size?
What is the max combined attachment size per post\reply?

For example:
- Max image\attachment size 1MB
- Max combined size 4MB
- 4 1MB images\attachments can be attached per post or reply

-------------------------------------------------------------
NO PLACE TO POST ABOUT FORUM USE CASES & SUGGESTIONS

Also, there is no forum entry for forum questions, suggestions, or improvements. I went to the "News and Announcements" but I cannot create a new Topic there, the button is missing. I get that that forum is for Admin post only, that's OK. But, then it leaves posting questions about attachments and the like to be posted in to areas that are nonsensical, like "Basics for New Pool Owners". The questions and tips about the forum are quite off-topic for "Basics for New Pool Owners" or any other category unless an specific "Forum Suggestions & Questions" area is created or a general "Miscellaneous" area is created as a catch-all.

I did notice that "www.troublefreepool.com" has a forum catagory of "Forum Issues and Suggestions". This forum might like to add something similar.

Please let me know about the image file attachments

For those users who are having trouble figuring out how to make attachments to your post, here some additional help. Don't feel bad. I am EXTREMELY computer literate and missed it on my posts. I ended up using links to Dropbox. Also, the post that I was replying to used a public repository because the OP missed it too.

This issue is that the "Attach" button is not a button but a "tab". So, while you are looking for a button, you might skim right over it; I did. Also, if you are not a frequent forum user, you may be looking for a "paper clip" icon in the toolbar like so many email client applications have. That is not the case here (or on forums in general).

So, here are some images (attached!) to help.

MM

I don't get an "Attachment" tab.
When I attempt to drag and drop, i just get the image in another window.

You need to click "Full Editor & Preview"

Hi

I am new to the forum and am looking to get some advice on my pool. Unfortunately I am unable to upload an image - I don't have the options as demonstrated above. Assuming this is because I am a new member?

[Denniswiseman]

I've never heard that new members were stopped from posting images
Obviously you can post so show us what you have and use another source for the image and we will advise

Reviving a dead post, but I am stuck here. On this quick reply that I am writing in currently, it has full editor and preview options, but on my post, it does not have that option.

I get file too large on my iPhone. It looks like maybe you can post pictures from an iPhone directly to this forum. Maybe you need to transfer them to a computer and downsize then or something. It’s too bad linked images won’t show inline on the web browser version of the forum because they ALL show fine in the Tapatalk app that also downsized the images for me before uploading. I use it for almost all my online forums.

Please let us have the water test results rather than say in the normal range. Not from did strips as these are notoriously poor and innacurate.
Put a cotton towel scrunched up into the skimmer basket and vacuum via the skimmer basket to catch very fine stuff. Slow the pump if you have that facility.
