Picture limits in ads?

Post by Kagetora »

Hey gang. About to post a pretty large ad, and I'd like to include a small-ish composite pic at the end of each section, just so people can see at a glance what's on offer. I know there are size limits on the photos (not a problem, I shrunk everything down to manageable), but is there a count limit on pics per ad?

If so, I'll probably end up splitting stuff up between forums, which is fine, but it's always easier to run one ad in a couple forums and keep them updated.

Thanks!

There is a maximum amount of pictures per post. I cannot recall the exact number off the top of my head though.

Can you host the images on IMGUR or something and then just link them?

Probably. I think I have an IMGUR account or something similar. If I can find it, and my password. :lol:

Was hoping to not make people click on links just to see what amounts to small snapshots, but I'll do whatever needs doing. Thanks for the response.

ETA: I had a Flickr account. Is that even still a thing? :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can actually host the images elsewhere and embed them into the post! So no clicking needed.

Use this tag:
[ img ][ /img ]
but remove the spaces in the brackets.

So an example would be:

[ img ]linktopicture[ /img ]

Here is an example in all it's glory, taken from the internet

Excellent! I appreciate that...I'll get to work on updating my ads this weekend. I guess I'll see if Flickr still exists.

Apparently Flickr still exists. I managed to get all the pics off BTown servers and onto theirs, with pics in the ads. Thanks again.

By the way, if anyone is curious, the limit seems to be 5.

He's a very good boy, but he literally never gets his turn with the single brain cell that orange male cats share. It's decidedly unfair. :lol:
