Help posting pics in Gallery please.......

[superchad]

Hi, newish member here trying to post my pics but the files are too large, can anyone help me and show me how to re-size files? Thanks a bunch! Chad

Well where do you have them stored? If they're here at the Shack they have to be resized before putting them here. If you have them at Photobucket you can resize them on Photobucket. I believe we have software built within the board that automatically drops it down to a 1024 width. And then folks can click on it to get the full size image.

Thanks for the reply, I tried to insert from my computers files but it said they were all too large, I am not very up on Photobucket and how to import from there.......can anyone walk me thru it? Thanks

I moved this to the appropriate forum.

You must have some awfully big images if they are too large for here.

How did you get them on your computer? Many times the software you use will allow editing of the size.

You can upload your images to Photobucket and resize them there, but you will have to follow instructions they provide... we do not have them here. One you get them resized to the maximum allowed here you can upload them here by typing in the URL of the photo from Photobucket in the upload form in the Gallery.

You may even be able to find a free image editing software program at Downloads.com ...

Once you get them sized properly... here are instructions on getting them into the thread.

Thanks again, I just took them and loaded them into my laptop with a usb mini card reader, guess I need to learn some things! I appreciate the reply!

Hi Sonnie,

You might not have realised that the image links are broken on that instructions post.

Here is a freeware program that will resize your photos to an acceptable size so you can upload them. Resize a pic to 800x600 and see how it works.

Thanks Tony... and no, I did not even realize it. It seems we have some issues with Photopost, which is nothing abnormal. It has been the biggest pain we have had and the support is like pulling hind teeth to get straight answers. I will work on it over the next few days.

So now that I cant get my re-sized my photos and go to link them the fact that there shows an error of website cant be found and such is a technical issue with the forum and not with what I am doing? Thanks as always

Once you get your images re-sized, you can still upload them via the upload link in our gallery. The technical issues should not effect you.
