Can't add attachment anymore to an existing thread

[AbbeyDawn]

I think the problem already last for about 1-2 months. It wasn't a big deal for me, until I have to add new attachments to my existing thread.

It's hard to explain it, but I'll try to explain.

I can still add pictures/attachment in AREA 1. But the problem is I can't put all pictures/attachments in AREA 1 if I have dozens of pictures (it takes a lot of time to upload and it'll be slower to load all the pictures in the thread)

That's why I like AREA 2 better.

And if I want to upload the pictures/attachment in AREA 2, I can't do it anymore in a thread that already existed. I have to make a new thread for it to be possible. (I wasted my coins to buy extra threads because I made the thread first without adding the pictures)

It's missing this "attach files" option in an existing thread.

I like the old system (before the EpicNPC website update). So if it's not a hard thing to do, please change it back to normal.

All images uploaded will always appear in AREA 2 (attachments area) if they are not posted in the post.

On mobile we removed the 'attach file' button because it was redundant. The 'insert image' button does the same thing, but works slightly different. The difference is when you upload it, the image appears in the post automatically. However if you delete the image from the post, it will still appear in the attachment area (area2).

We assumed most user would want to image to appear in the post so that's why we make it appear automatically. However you can just remove it if you want your images to appear in the attachments area.

I like to have 2 different areas for my pictures, area 1 & 2. For area 1 I usually post the most important pictures, while area 2 for additional pictures.

i don't think it was redundant, it's an important feature and can help a lot, especially if I want to edit my old thread and update it with new pictures.

I can't/won't upload 40 pictures in area 1, because it'll takes a lot of time to upload one by one, and from the buyer perspective it'll add them extra time to load all the pictures, especially if they have slow internet speed.

That's why area 2 is important in this case, because the picture in area 2 is like a thumbnail so it has small size and won't affect the loading time of a thread.

We'll see about changing the way images are handled once uploaded.

We'll have to do some tests to see how it behaves if a lot of images are uploaded at one time and do some comparisons. We can them make some improvements so it's faster with the current method we're using.

You can't add back the "old" attachment system?

And keep in mind the attachment (area 2) has 2 pictures per row, and the pictures there can be upload all at once. That's the most important feature.

We will make some updates in the near future to add the ability to upload multiple images at once as well as other improvements. We'll try to make the update within 1-2 weeks.
