I am going to turn on photo uploading. <insert applause here>
In order to test this and make sure it works well, I'm going to enable it for the mods first so that they can get a feel for how it works so that they can better support the community when I turn it on globally.
Some things to note about this feature given the current software:
It will only work on desktop and it will not work on phones. I can't do anything about that unless I do a massive site change and we've been through enough for a while. I don't *think* it will work on iPads, either. Surface tablets run Windows, so I think they should work fine.
It will be limited: Each image will have a size restriction, and each user will have a space restriction. What those limits will be are to be determined.
This will be for LTG content only. Any photos that are not deemed appropriate will be deleted and the user will get a warning or banned for a period of time depending on how severe the infraction is. I don't imagine this to be an issue outside of spammers, but it's worth noting.
One of the big reasons this was disabled in the past was disk space consumption. The new server has significantly more space, and since the #1 complaint I've seen from people on other sites that won't come here is the lack of photo upload, I figured I'd move us forward a bit.
That's all for now.
