Why 8 Picture Limit?

Why is there a limit of 8 pictures per post? Thanks, Mark.

There may be a limit to actual post size. That is alot of data to transfer in a single post. So I would imagine it is necessary to keep data flowing properly. You have to remember that once you do upload it, your part is done. But the server also has to upload those with every request to see that post. That is alot of data being transferred at how many given times a day, every time someone clicks on the topic.

Now is that real reason, maybe not, but now you can imagine why there may be a limit.

And not too mention all of the other data the server has to load just to format our blank screens to something wee can read easily like this text, text fonts, avatar pics to the left, all the buttons. All of this is being done/transferred to us behind the scenes.

O.K. Thanks gentlemen, I just happened to notice I could post 30+ pics on another forum all in the same post and assumed that it was standard. I originally intended to initiate a thread on a resto-mod but my layout consisted of about 20+ pics per post, just to keep them all from the same page in the same post. In order to post with an 8 pics limit the pages of my reassembly would need to be cut-up into three parts each having there own respective post. This seemed like a bit disconnected sort of a way of proceeding when certain parts are all centrally located in a given area of the tractor, which on occasion may include as many as 20-30 parts or more. Not to mention that while prepping for posting installment #2 of a 3 part post it may get pushed back as two or three replies may be added in-between. Mark.

Hi Mark.....this may sound a bit different but why upload to multiple sites when you can reference your already uploaded images......example of an attachment of mine from RS......




and one of yours.......

OK...thought I could help...but Geno beat me to it.....

Thanks Bob, I originally did not want to post to multiple sites, I only wanted to post to Wheel Horse Stables, at the time the other forum seemed more accommodating. Thanks to Geno revising this forum I would much rather just post my resto-mod here.
