Hello, ACNA! I've recently installed a new image uploader plugin for us to try. Instead of clicking "Add Attachment" you can click "Add Image to post" to upload a photo. It uses a third party uploader (postimage.org) to upload your image and puts the link right on your post for you. You can upload multiple images at a time by clicking on more than one file, and it will post them in the order that they are named alphabetically, I believe.
As mentioned in previous threads, ProBoards limits our "attachments" and charges us if we want more space. Since this is a free forum, we don't want to do it that way! Besides the fact that we would fill up the space really quick and we don't like deleting old images!
So here's how to use it. When you go to start a thread or reply to a post, you'll see something like this with the "Add image to post" button now available.
It takes you to the screen below, where you can choose however many files you want from your computer or post a URL ("Web" or "Computer")
You get a window like the one below after you click "upload." Be sure to choose 1024x768 as the size, we don't want images too large! When it's done uploading the window will disappear and put your links in your post wherever your cursor was. It posts a thumbnail of your image and you can click it to see it full size.
Lets give this a try and let us know what you think, we can look for a different plugin if needed!
