So a 5 picture upload limit?
I dont believe there was a limit before?
Will this be the rule going forward?
Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

I belive the limit was 8 or 10 before but there was a limit.

Are you referring to the “Simultaneous uploads limit”? That should be effective for drag n drop tp the composer. Because I am not aware of any limit for total number of uploads in a post.

Now that the resizing job moved to the browser it’s better to have something reasonable set. I am not sure how much can mobile browser handle reasonably.

Also how many photos do you usually need to post an update to a diary? This limit should be set accordingly.

And if you need extras you can always upload second batch to the post.

I love the new layout. Very easily navigable and comfortable to boot.

Very nice work.

This feels like a reasonable limit, IMO. I do upload more than 5 photos sometimes when updating a grow journal, but if I need to do 2 uploads to accomplish it then thats fine. Not really a big issue. One at a time was a bit of a pain but 5 at a time feels like plenty. May just make folks think twice about what they upload as well which is not a bad thing. Thanks Joe.

I am definitely open to discussion about it. Let’s see how the current limit is handled by browsers and how many members feel affected by the limit.

I can’t even upload a photo on my cell phone, whether through the app or the website… maybe because it’s too old, I don’t know… I’ll try on the computer but it’s a shame I can’t do it on the cell phone.

Yes i have done up to 20 photos at once as well before the upgrade.
I will be okay with a 5 file limit.
It just doesn’t seem like an improvement to the site.
What about @Tlander ? :joy:
I always enjoy his picture heavy posts.

555! Yes, I DO go for the numbers in my photo posts! I seem to remember uploading up to 15 pics at a time in the past (desktop computer/Firefox). The one-at-a-time had me seriously considering giving up posting photos as, with my RSO-addled mind, the multi-uploads are a PITA! Five at a time ‘should’ be manageable, but I’d love a higher limit if its possible!

Glad to hear @LemonadeJoe is on the mend! Thanks for all you do here!

A lot. I am good with five at a time. I break up the photo uploads with descriptions. I post a lot of photos because when I go to find photos of strains I want to try it is hard to find anythig but bud shots in mid to late flower. Plus the more photos of a strain the more likely Overgorw comes up in searches of that strain.

Not sure if this is a new thing, but I have never seen the :black_cat: emoji before. :smile_cat: :+1:

Micro issue: animated emojis now seem to be treated like video and you have to press play.

I don’t use them but the play button on it is not very attractive to look at.

I’d suggest either disabling them or letting them run free.

All the best
