The forum staff requests that you attach any images you wish to share to the forum.

To attach images, simply hit the picture icon in the post toolbar:
InsertImage.PNG

A dropdown will appear:

InsertImage2.PNG

Either drop an image on the window, or click in the box. I recommend you click.

If you click in the box, you will get an open file dialog where you can select up to 10 images to attach to your post.

Once the images are attached to your post, you will see the images listed below the post:

InsertImage3.PNG

If you post now, you will see the images attached below the post like on the old forum. However, with Xenforo, you can also insert the thumbnail or full size image into the body of the post. Its your choice! If the images are inserted into the message, they won't show below the message.
 
I'm seeing a lot of errors in posted images today. Lots of filenames that are in the format "Blah-jpg.12345" (for example), which do not work. You need to make sure the filename ends in .jpg (or .png, etc).
 
Sorry - looks like we ran out of of disk space on the attachments drive. Should be working now.
 
Seems to be working fine now. Thanks again for the quick work. I do appreciate it.

Thanks for guidelines. It works.
 
Hello @overscan (PaulMM)
It seems the upload of animated gif-files doesn't work. Neither with "insert image" nor with "attach files". The file is accepted and the upload-status shows 100%, but somehow the upload doesn't complete and the file disappears as soon as I hit "post reply". The file extension is .gif and the file size is only 4,29 MB.

Is there a solution to this issue? Or are animated gif-files not allowed in general?
 
Animated gif is one of the worst file formats ever invented. Having said that, I don't believe its excluded. Maybe upload in a ZIP file here, so I can look at it? 99% of the online ones are actually webp format.

Thx for the quick reply!
Upload of zip isn't allowed. But I've uploaded it to WeTransfer: https://we.tl/t-3DWBf2m8My
 
It was failing in the thumbnail generation stage. I changed the option for image library which seems to have fixed it.
