Forum upload constraints

Continuing the discussion from Formatting change request:

Formatting change request

(Meta: I’d include pictures but the forum complains that I’m too new to use imaging functionality. I’d have included all 3 screenshots in the original post but I’m too new to include more than 2 links. Here’s the original method…mostly because I had already taken the time to make the screenshot.)

The forum software is still new to me, so I don’t know how to change/remove these constraints. Let’s see if they go away on their own soon. If not, I can look into changing the default policy.

There are some posts here that explain the trust levels:

Understanding Discourse Trust Levels

It typically takes less than one day to get to trust level 1, when you can start embedding pictures. But if you want new users to skip trust level 0, you can change a setting in admin here:

Thanks Neil!

@brendan, it sounds like with another post or two the system will automatically allow you to embed pictures. I say we should let the system automatically level you up so we can learn how it’ll work with other people, but if this gets in the way, let me know and I’ll just manually change your level.

Thanks all, sounds good!
