Currently, the inlined image limit on blog entries is a meager 4. Attempting to post any more results in it not allowing you to do so. Considering that the image limit on the boards is 20, it really doesn't make much sense for the two to be largely different, right? ;)

It's gotten in my way more than a few times thus far now, and I'm sure others would benefit from it being increased to match or at least be closer to the board's limit as well.
 
Why was there a limit in the first place?
I am not sure that I agree that the limit should be increased as I do not know the reason behind it being ''low''.

As far as I can tell though, I probably would agree that it should be raised.

Also, is there a way for Moderators to select certain blog entries to have a higher limit? This may be a better option than just allowing everyone to have a 20img limit.

Back in the day, the image limit on posts was 8, and then 6. The blog image limit was 4 the whole time/through most of that, I believe. Anyway, at one point, someone decided that the image limit on posts should be increased to 20, which was all well and good, except how the image limit in blogs wasn't increased either.

Also, that'd be more trouble than it's worth.

What I meant was that individuals who would ''need'' a large image limit such as Admin or DCM's Guide could have image post unlocked. Maybe upon specific Request others would too. This would allow certain people to make those big image post, without outright letting everyone do it whenever they wanted, which seems to be the reason there is a limit in the first place.

Please tell me why we should exclude certain members from having such privileges? In my opinion every member should be treated equally, so if one get's a 20 image limit on his/her blog then the other members should as well.
 
The blogs weren't touched because they're a separate section on the Admin CP from the main forums, and no one thought about or brought it up before.
 
With that said, I don't see a reason we should discriminate between the forums and the blogs. I'll go in now and try to find the image limit thing and equalize them at 20.

Edit: Should be done now. Let me know if there are any problems.
