revilla Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I wish we could! Posting up just photographs is not so bad but trying to post up diagrams with small text is just hopeless, they are reduced in size and resolution and generally compressed to the point of being unreadable.

John Vine Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi Andrew,Yes, I was experimenting here with photos (JPGs) from (a) my PC (via upload) and (b) hosted elsewhere. It seems I can achieve bigger images (full pagewidth) if I insert from the externally hosted ones. I assume that is because photos uploaded to the L7C server are size-restricted.I take it your diagrams are PNGs for example, or at least something other than JPGs? AIUI, JPG compression is poor for text or diagrams, and that GIFs produce better results.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi John, the JPEG versions I have here are fine but when uploading the compression seems to be increased and they are unreadable. Even as PNG or similar they look hopeless when uploaded. If you have found they are OK when hosted externally, it must be just the content storage system that is restricting them. Surely there must be a workaround where large images could be uploaded to a file storage area somewhere outside the CMS? Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think the workaround you seek is in fact what I now do for large photos -- that is, put them up on Photobucket (other systems available) and then insert them from there. It does seem that uploading them via the club server is the problem in that it reduces/restricts size a tad over-aggressively. Can you try external hosting for your diagrams (that DSO waveform would be a good test)?JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 19, 2017 Member Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think that I've finally cracked how to show inline images served on Dropbox, if that would help.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 22, 2017 Member Share Posted March 22, 2017 Cunning plan (in the Forum User Guide thread) and testing (in Testing).All comments and improvements welcome.JonathanPS: I think that means that it's possible for all of the commercial hosts I've tried.
