Solved Problem Adding Enough Photos to Article

[casportpony]

Oops I didn't see your reply...
I need to add at least another 50... maybe 60
(It's pretty extensive)

So 60 total?

No, like 110 total.
Of course I might even have a couple more than that

I found a way around adding only 50 photos to an article.

Instead of using the blue upload a file button which will only allow you to upload 50 max...
Use the black camera button to insert photos that you have already uploaded to a BYC album.

Make an album first.
Then use the camera icon to insert the photos into your article.

Thank you!
Both you and @casportpony have really done a lot of work trying to figure this out!

The camera icon thing seems to leave behind a lot of distracting information that interferes with the text of the article. But I'll try to see what I can figure out later.

Why did the platform change anyway?

One could also create a thread and upload 50 pictures to each post then they can copy/paste or drag and drop to from the posts to the article.

Here is the test I did:

Because the internet world changes, basically.

When you upload the photos to the album delete any and all title and descriptions (or don't add them when uploading although I think it automatically "names" each photo) to each photo and there won't be "distracting info" like mine show.

OK I can try that

Ok, we're going to try a test...

I've bumped up the limit to 200 pics for articles. While I stick by my statement here (that articles with that many pics can start to get a little unruly), I don't see a tremendous harm in testing what happens if we allow more.

So, upload to your heart's content

I too am not a fan of having to scroll through a million pictures. It gets too messy with a lot of pics.
10 ish is great.
50 is nuts.
IMO.
