The phpBB forum software and screenshots (to Eyal !)

Post by Icelander »

The Mellel forums use the phpBB forum software, which—I may be wrong—I think is a free software. This software allows users to post screenshots very easily. For some reason, this option has not been enabled by the Redlers. I wonder why…

Is it perhaps because such an option involves extra payment by the forum owner (= the developer) which I'm not aware of?

If so, I can live with the option of not being able to send screenshots.
If, however, this option needs to be extra enabled by Eyal, I beg you Eyal, on my knees, to enable this option. As the proverb says, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Many Mellel users are not native English speakers, and being able to easily post a screenshot is a boon to them.

I think the main reason for that is that it fills up the storage very quickly. I'll have a look at this and see what can be done.

To me this rather looks like the forum software is outdated because when you click "New Topic" you should see an Attachment tab at the bottom of the page.

The current phpBB version is 3.3.8
