Any way to paste images directly? (The Paste)

Hello,

1) I just realized my screenshot didn’t post because I exceeded the 5 mb limit for files.  Is there a way to increase the limit? Or add an error message?  Took me the longest time to figure out why I got a 503 Server error in my forum.

2) I have The Paste plugin installed, but it doesn’t work in the forum.  So I save screenshots and then upload the files.

Is there any way to get The Paste or another plugin to work in the forum to paste images directly?

Would be a HUGE time saver for me!

Thanks!

Hi Christine,

Go to the Backend/Forum/Settings/Uploads

With Maximum File Size: Entries how large it should be.
If you enter “0”, you have taken out the limit.

As far as I know, uploading images/files or screenshots directly doesn’t work.

To do this, you have to have the image on your computer beforehand, as using the clipboard doesn’t work.

@biker  Thanks, I just checked and I already had it set to “0”.

And now I noticed that the post with the reduced image so it would upload also gets me a 503 error.     It’s so weird, because my client was able to read it and it worked for me yesterday too.

 

It might be a server problem:

The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 503 Service Unavailable server error response code indicates that the server is not ready to handle the request. Common causes are a server that is down for maintenance or that is overloaded.
