In summary, the conversation discusses the limitations on the number of figures that can be uploaded to a post and the use of the "img" tag to make thumbnails appear. It is mentioned that there is a limit of three attachments per post and that the "img" tag may not be enabled in certain forums.

Over the limit?

Hi all, I made five figures for [post=1508549]this post[/post], but it seems I can only upload three? I hope that means, three at one time! If so, how long must I wait before uploading the others?

[EDIT: experimentation suggests: no more than a few hours, if that]

There is no net limit on how many figures I can upload to illustrate posts, is there?

[EDIT: experimentation suggests: no]

Is there any way that I can make thumbnails for the various attachments appear in the desired places? I tried to use the "img" tag, but this doesn't seem to be working yet. Is that because the attachments haven't yet been approved by a moderator?

The "img" tag isn't enabled in certain forums, I forget the reason why.

And you are correct, there is a limit of three attachments per post.
 

FAQ: Over the limit of figures?

What does "over the limit of figures" mean?

"Over the limit of figures" refers to the maximum number of digits or numbers that can be accurately represented in a given system or notation. This limit is often determined by the precision or accuracy of the measuring instrument or the capabilities of the system itself.

How do scientists deal with values that are over the limit of figures?

Scientists use a variety of techniques to deal with values that are over the limit of figures. These include rounding, using scientific notation, and increasing the precision of the measuring instrument or system.

Can the limit of figures be exceeded?

In theory, the limit of figures can be exceeded by using a larger or more precise measuring instrument or system. However, in practice, there are practical limitations and constraints that may prevent us from accurately representing extremely large or small values.

How does exceeding the limit of figures affect the accuracy of a measurement?

Exceeding the limit of figures can significantly impact the accuracy of a measurement. This is because the additional digits or numbers may not be accurately represented, leading to rounding errors and loss of precision. It is important for scientists to consider the limitations of their measuring instruments and systems to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Can exceeding the limit of figures affect the outcome of a scientific study?

Yes, exceeding the limit of figures can have a significant impact on the outcome of a scientific study. If the accuracy of the measurements is compromised due to exceeding the limit of figures, it can lead to incorrect conclusions and potentially invalidate the entire study. It is crucial for scientists to carefully consider and manage the limitations of their measuring instruments and systems to ensure the reliability of their findings.
