Besides the Forum, any more plans?

DPReview was a lot more than forum.

Any plans for carrying a news feed, or conducting reviews, or (dare I say) conducting the incredible sensor tests with the photo of the playing cards, paints and whatnot?

I’m just curious mostly. I don’t mean this as a complaint at all. The forum is the best part anyway and YouTube is flooded with camera reviewers anyway.

I’d say, if there’s one feature I miss, it’s being able to upload photos. And we don’t really need photo upload per se, because you aren’t Amazon and don’t have unlimited petabytes of space. But if there was a specific service this forum could link to for uploading and sharing all of the EXIF, that would be great, I think.

In the meantime, can you explain, if possible, how to post uploaded images (full resolution) in another thread without re-uploading them? So far I only was able to repost the 'thumbnail'.

I think you can copy the link of your original post and paste it in the new one…

Thanks. While I have your attention, there's a more pressing problem:

dprevived.com/t/will-you-stay-if-dpreview-doesnt-close/3026/post/34625/
and:
dprevived.com/t/will-you-stay-if-dpreview-doesnt-close/3026/post/34771/

Doesn't help the site if every other click ends in an error...

Good one, but I just wanted to add an image to a thread. Not with the content of the original thread as the purpose was entirely different (show the capability of a camera/lens combo vs 'show your statue photos'). It's not an earth shattering difference, but still important IMO.

This is how I have been pointing back to an image in a different thread. It gets me the thumbnail that can be clicked on to get to the higher resolution image.

Hi!
You must copy and paste only the image link: in the edit screen on the original post, it looks something like

“![811F5BD5-3E49-4715-A83A-BFAB25BB3012.jpeg
(/a/thum/zFv09UTocUM8AeXFh3pkub6os51qzCDQO9L6UdKJaAbZ4iV6Rko3BSvARlD59KxB /7629/?shva1)/a/zFv09UTocUM8AeXFh3pkub6os51qzCDQO9L6UdKJaAbZ4iV6Rko3BSvARlD59KxB/7629/?shva1)”

…and you get the full resolution image:

If you click the "Image" icon instead of "Upload File" it asks you for image description and address. Can you not give the address of the previous image?

I have not tried. Just guessing.

PS: Trying it now. This is a photo I uploaded in another post.

I see that it doesn't behave the same way though.

In my original post, the text below the photo with camera name and exposure settings is a hyperlink. I right-clicked on it and copied the link.

In the image above, that is plain text, not a hyperlink. Also, clicking the photo above doesn't open in a pop-up window, which it does in my original post. It's a good workaround because I myself don't like to upload photo multiple times.

I think this should work. I'll try first.
[ADDED]
Stupid me. That had already been tried.

Testing this:

Almost works, I only cannot get the image itself linked.

You can upload full resolution images into another thread without re-uploading them by using the BBcode "url" and "img" tags.

The image below is my image originally uploaded in my Huggins Lookout Thread.

This way you don't eat into your upload quota when you display the same image in more than one post.

Clicking the image below will display the full size image.

For just the image itself and no fancy thumbnail or linking, go:

Voila:
