Test thread for attachments

It's odd, the initial post has two attachments but I can't see them unless I 'edit' the post. Not very useful if they are invisible. Please try posting something and let me know if it works as an attachment and/or inline.
 
This should have two photos, one as imbedded image and the other as an attachment. Curious to see if either shows.

Imbedded image below is front of tool cabinet. Attachment is back of cabinet.

Right, no attachment is visible even though it is there. I will investigate but until then we should avoid attachments.
 
I have a hunch it's related to the size limitation of attachments. Probably, embedding an image reduces the size, or embeds have a higher limit.
 
I've looked at the settings and attachments are allowed up to 4096Kb (4Mb), same limit as the inline images. It's also configured so that you can only see attachments if you are logged in. But I'm logged in, have full administrator privileges, and don't see the attachments. I'll keep looking for a solution. Until then inline images seem to work well.
 
Can we post multiple photos inline? I'm using the "insert image" feature from the top menu instead of the "attach files" at the bottom of the posting widow. Will 2 photos appear when I post? [Edit: it worked!]

Currently the limit is 4Mb per image and 10 images per posting (I think). That's likely excessive but I left it as is.
 
I think we will have to dispense with attachment (for the time being) since we have what looks like a good work-around (i.e., inlining images), which some would even prefer. Please let me know if that restriction would be significant.
