I've been trying to upload some images, but unlike before I now get a message that there is a "failure to detect image size" when posting from my Photobucket or Flickr accounts.

Are members unable to post images now, or is there a new way to post images?

Kind regards,

Julian

Hotlinking images is often limited by the hosting servers. (Many do not like it and prevent it) I suggest you use the 'Upload attachement' feature the board offers. This way images are directly uploaded onto the server and even if the external site is down or the image is no longer available there (for example due to bandwidth restrictions) it will still show up in your post.
