Why can't I attach images to posts anymore?

What Zach said. Be aware some hosting sites make it almost impossible to embed your photos in other web sites (google anyone). I gone back to flickr as well for some of my pic posting needs.

Yeah, I thought about using one of the image hosting/cloud storage sites but that has its problems too as you guys mentioned. Would be much better to be able to just upload your picture here on RCC so it can be embedded right in the post - much easier for the reader and poster. We used to be able to do this; RCC forum is broken.

We have been reduced to the Basic Plan...

Hm. What happened to the flexibility of forum software? Has it all been bought up and sabotaged by faecesbook? No wonder open forums are on the decline...

When the internet no longer allows you to discuss your hobby with like-minded people online without agreeing to sell your soul and integrity to the likes of Zuckerberg and his profit-making goons, what's the point?

Nope it is owned by the same person. Seems Instagram and other Social Media is the way to go these days Pete. If you're not showing the world everything you are doing it does not seem to be worth it anymore.

Where is Brian? He quit being a Mod?

Donate button is gone too...

Hey anyone here moderating this piece. Saw Ted the other day.

Gonna post some black boxes...

chibikougan · 12-11-2018, 12:49 PM

I contacted a webmaster..

I don't think the owner gives a rat's ass...
Seriously.

I do what I can, but I'm limited to the Tech sections.

I've reported spammers (spamming other sections outside of Tech sections), but nothing gets done anymore.
So, owner / admin / supermods are all basically all gone.

All the kiddies went to Facebook...and now Instagram...?
I'm too old to jump platforms.

As an update, I finally got my finances under control to start spending money on the FC...
The chassis is tired, but I figured it deserves some upgrades.
If you follow my posts, I've had to rebuild my turbo...
I've finally decided to drop the cash for Stack Pro-Control gauges - cha-ching!
But, I've devised a plan to NOT install a dozen gauges into the car!
My Haltech E8 is getting tired, and I'm looking to jump to an Elite 550...

I've just got my "dream wheels" slapped with tires, so I'll throw some pics up soon.

^That's what I figured. I emailed the webmaster at least 2x about this with zero response, using the "contact webmaster" link. Funny thing is my picture posting problem may be tied to just my account - I've seen a few recent (i.e., last few months) postings by others who were able to post pictures. WTF?

If the Elite 550 has CAN bus, there are a number of CAN bus gauges on the market now that can basically display whatever your ECU spits out on the bus, so 1 or 2 gauges gives you everything you could want. I'm using one of these BTI gauges with my AEM Infinity: http://www.btigauges.com/aem-infinity.html

Here's another vendor's product that appears to offer more flexibility in programming exactly what you want to display. Kind of makes me wish I knew about them before buying the BTI gauge!
