--- Quote from: Fraser on November 10, 2020, 03:30:44 pm ---Just added a whole load of images and PDF's to a thread and only noted that the number of attachments is now down to 10 from 25 and the maximum file size is 4MB instead of 5MB. All worked fine for me.

What is annoying is the bug in the forums URL interpretation that messes them up, as demonstrated above ! (It ignores part of the URL if certain characters are present)

Yes, SMF has always been this way and there are many links not working because of characters in the URL line that it doesn't automatically accept as part of a URL.
The workaround is to Modify your post and highlight the URL you want to use then use the Insert Hyperlink button.
This places the URL flags entirely over your URL and disregards what characters are in it just as PA0PBZ points out.

Thanks chaps :-+
This has had me scratching my head on many occasions !

Just had one of these ^ with an image I've posted without issues before. :-//
It was taken with an iPhone and compressed with MS Picture Manager where iPhone images are always 90o off correct rotation yet always post correctly. :-//
However the JPEG filename for this chap had the dreaded [1] in it signifying that it had been saved before. Renaming it wasn't enough to get it accepted by SMF however opening it in MS Paint, rotating it and saving it as a .png had SMF forum SW happy and it was posted. :phew:

So likely there is a check in SMF which somehow doesn't accept all JPEGs. I went back to using Flickr instead of uploading pictures to the forum. The ability to put attached pictures inline in posts seems to have stopped working as well.

I wonder if it's anti-NSFW or similar checking. If so, there could be a switch to turn it off.
