If you're using windows XP, microsoft actually has a great program they offer for download for free. It's called "Power Toys", and there are a few of them in the list on their site, but the one for resizing pics if very nice (and super easy to use too. You just open the pic you want and "right click" on the pic. In the window that opens, click "resize", it will open a small window with choices such as small, medium, large, and custom (custom will allow you to actually choose the number of pixels wide and tall). This will allow you to make the images small which also makes the file size smaller so they can be uploaded here at the forum. If you want to enter one here, I can try to help you resize the photo. My desktop with XP is down at the moment, and I am using a laptop with windows' new operating system, "vista" on it... which I do not like by the way... it's uses lots of RAM just to run, let alone trying to do anything on it... but anyway, you can email the photo to me and I will resize it to a smaller size and see if I can get it under 100KB for this forum, and email it back to you if it will help you out, no problem, glad to help. ~dale kaela_laula@earthlink.net or sales@www.DorrisWoodCreations.com

If you are lucky to use a Macintosh open image up in Photshop and under image size make it , say, 4" x 5". Then give this a name and send. Hope this helps.
Personally, I may even get up the 'courage' to {ugh} follow directions (guys do not like to read directions {grin}) and try posting my first picture. Gasp!
Great day to all my Randall bretheran.

ANY CHANCE, that anyone who knows how could redo the posting chart now that the forum format has changed? I had just mastered the old one and now that it has changed I cann't post.
HELP--PLEASE!!!

If I do everything as written, will I be able to see the photo(s) included with the post when I hit "Preview Post" button?
Some forums I have been on, show the photo(s)in the preview, and some forums show only the written entry but not the photos in the preview.
If photos are supposed to be viewed in the post preview, I'm doing something wrong. Followed Rhett's instructions including "Done Adding Files". File Manager shows number of files OK.
When I hit "Preview Post", only the message shows, not the photos. Help!

Buck, I get the same deal. My photos appear after I hit submit. Best, Capt. Chris And they are great photos as well. However, you should size them to fit the page, you old fart!

Capt,
I'm having a similar problem except that my photos don't appear in the post... Only the link to the attachment... I'll try one on this post to see if it works any different than my most recent attempt.
ETA... Nope... Perhaps too large to fit the page as Perry was suggesting earlier?

Definitely too large. Mine were doing the same thing until I followed the Captain's advice and resized my photos.

Thanks Rick... 640 x 372 gives me a good base for resizing all others from now on.
Thanks again

Guys, I hate asking stupid questions but I am hung up and can't find the answer in the forums. I was posting a pic to this group but the picture was only an attachment in my post. I followed the suggestions in the posting and still could not get anything but a link - there actual pic was not in the view on my post. The file size was less than 170KB and the max allowed is 250KB, so I "think" I am good there. Another member was able to fix my post, so I know it's cockpit error on my part - what gives? Appreciate your help. Bill

Bill I believe they have to be smaller than 100K, that is what I always do and it seems to work for me

Ok - I am down to 128KB and the resolution stinks. I think I need to try some different conversion software. Thanks for the tip. Bill

Thx, Capt.
I run Vista and use Irfanview to view and resize photos - but this is not working well at all here. By the time I get down to 100KB the resolution is shot all to ... you know.
If some running Vista can recommend some software for this purpose, I would really appreciate it.
Thx, Bill

Bill I use Irfanview also, but with XP I go into image, resize and resample and pick one of the two smaller sizes, but try to keep the quality up and then save with good quality Try that

Bill I am not to good at this but I use Vista as that was what came on the computer. I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager. I compress first then re size to small web page size. My pictures are still not big enough but I just recently learned how to get one on there at all so am still trying different things.

Thanks Guys, I finally got it figured out and Irfanview is up and running like a charm... The problem was there were some extra blocks checked in the save menu making my pics go tango uniform when I resized them. I have no idea what those features are for, but unchecking them fixed the problem and my life is good again (don't ask how many hours I spent trying to figure it out though!!)

Are the photo posting instructions still current? I'd like to try and post some pics, but I don't see a "File Manager" button, tab or box below the posting box. If there are new or updated instructions, please direct me to where they are posted. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You have to hit the switch to full screen reply link. Then you should see the file manager in blue.

Thanks all. I hadn't clicked on the switch to full reply screen before. I just did and saw the file manager 'button' (as well as a bunch of other options). I will try for a pic upload later tonight.

Chris I have been unable to post photos for sometime now. One day several months back while posting on a thread I posted several pictures. I went to post another and it would not post. Since that time I have been unable to post a photo. In your post above where you show the submit button with an arrow on it I notice just above that it says html is enabled. On my iPad mine shows html is disabled. If that is what's preventing me from posting pictures can you tell me how to get my iPad to show html is enabled. I asked two people for help and they say that it is a problem with the forum.? I have no idea what they are talking about. I just want to be able to post photos again. Sorry I'm just not very uh computerized.

Ronnie, I cannot address that issue, sorry. All of the photos in my "Redneck Tutorial", except the very last one, were taken with my Iphone "S", emailed to myself. opened up, edited, re-named and sent to my documents on my "Super Computer" (Tower-type) where I posted them to the forum. I have had very little luck using an Ipad (Yes: I have one also) for much of anything when it comes to photo editing or posting. Sorry, Capt. Chris PS: Maybe some of the computer geeks can help you. My tutorial was, after all, a "Redneck Tutorial"...CCS
