Why can't I post a picture on here if I have already posted it once before. Such as me posting in the window tinting thread and then wanting to use the same pic in the wheel thread I get a message saying that attachment has already been attached else where on the site. I know I could probably just name the pic something else and post it but I shouldn't have too....

 

I have post the same pic in more than one thread. . . but they are hosted on smugmug and linked using the "insert image"... maybe that makes a difference ???

 

I upload everything to my gallery, copy the image address, and use the [ IMG ] tag.

 

This would be my go to answer for a short term solution.

I suspect that it's trying to avoid uploading the same file twice, similar to preventing a double post. I played around with it a little today and I'll drop an email over to the IB guys to see if there's anymore advice on being able to at least reference the previously uploaded file.

 

Thanks guys.. I was using the attachment button and just going to my pictures on computer instead of back and forth to my gallery..

 

I keep running into this problem in different threads when people ask to see something but I have already posted a pic somewhere else. This is getting to be a royal pain. Sure I could post the pic to my gallery but hate to just keep loading pics in there each time I want to reuse it. I already 4-5 pages of pics in my gallery. I did try renameing my pic to try to repost it and it didn't work this time.

 

I also have the same thing happen all the time. If there is one thing that would be nice is a patch to fix this issue Im on several sites and this is the only one it happens on! cheers!

 

Well, just tired to add pic to my album to be able to post them in different threads when need be but it says I have exceeded my space allowed. So I'm stuck as to this problem. I don't want to be deleting pics from my gallery or swapping them out as I need to post a pic in a thread or something. We either need to fix the problem from being able to post a pic more then once or give us more space in our galleries to post pics to fix that problem!!! Any suggestions?
