I just got me a new digital camera. Are the tips on posting pictures as seen below still valid? I don't have to use 'photo bucket' or some other website do I? Anyone come up with some new super trick idiot proof procedure? Is there a place on this site where I can practice? Am I limited to the number of pictures attached to any one post? ====================================================== supereal 01-06-2011 @ 11:09 AM It isn't difficult. Just put your picture into JPEG format to reduced the file size, save it to a file, and post it in the "image attachment" box by clicking on the file containing the picture, then click on the "submit reply" box. You can only use one attachment at a time on this site. If you need more, you will have to do multiple posts. If your picture is not in JPEG, use the "export file" feature to convert it. Other file formats often will not post, or require long times to get it done. There are other approaches, such as "photo bucket", but the above seems to be simpler. Supereal ....... I tried from my photobuckt acct. , didn't work...... It must be how I uploaded it because there isn't a # on it... this is the jpg # CCF01062011_00000.jpg ....No other boxes come up i.e "submit reply" Thanks, Vince 37RAGTOPMAN 01-06-2011 @ 1:22 PM reply another hint, would be to set the camera,on E-MAIL mode, if it has one, this will reduce the size of the picture, and make uploading easier and faster, make sure you save in your pictures, and give it a name so you will know , which one it is, not unless you have a picture gallery were you can view it in thumb nail pictures, which photo soft ware are you using, you can usa PICASA photo shop,also does videos its free and works real well hope this helps, 37RAGTOPMAN an KEEP on FORDIN...!!! supereal 01-07-2011 @ 10:22 AM reply I'm not sure why you are having a problem, unless you are not properly formatting the picture. We use a Sony camera that produces original photos 36 inches wide. Then, an Adobe program to reduce the pic to a size appropriate to send, in the 4X6 or 6X8. We use the "export" feature to compress the photo, and "save" it to either a folder or the desktop. To put it on the site, look below the reply box. You will see a "browse" box to click on. Select the pic and click on "open". You should see the title in the attachment box. When you post the "reply", it should appear as a title below the message. As said before, the usual reason for problems is failure to size and compress the photo.

No problem. Follow the advice below. The two biggest mistakes most make is not reducing the photo to a manageable size, such as 6 X 8, and not compressing it into JPEG. If you have the photo sized and compressed, save it to a documents or other file, then when you want to attach it, use the "browse" button to find it, then open it, and it will be part of your post.

Yes, those tips are still valid. Most digital cameras make files too big to easily upload onto a web site, but they do come with software that will let you resize them or post on the web. This reduces the resolution to a size that loads quickly. There is no practice site, but you can set up a Photobucket, Picassa or Shutterfly account to practice adjusting the size. You could also adjust the size on a photo to 15 inches wide and try uploading on this site, ten viewing the photo. If it takes a long time to display, reduce the resolution. Tom
