Prob posting with pics

[Shine]

So long as I don't try to load pictures I have no problem posting... but once there is a pic then all bets are off. Its not a re-sizing problem either. I had sized all the pics I was trying to load, the same as always. But when I hit the 'post' button all I get is a blank screen, and my reply is never there.

using too much bandwidth trying to upload pics?

 

[Shine]

.... 'fraid I don't understand what you are trying to say

Its the paper-clip/attatchement option that I can't get to work

This might help you:



What paper clip attachment thing?

 

[Lucy]

Usually the white screen means the pics are too big.
Be sure the file size as well as the width and height are with in the limitations.
If you still have problems you can use a photo sharing site like photo bucket.

Its not the size Lucy... its the same as I have been re-sizing to for the last year. And looking at the amount of memory allowable for that type of I am still well under. I even tried going smaller to test out the theory. No dice. Still didn't work

and photobucket would work fine I guess, but I don't have a membership there, nor do I want my pics on that site. I tried to use the IMG option with a picture from facebook. It let me post that one, but the pic doesn't appear to load either....

 

[LyndaB]

I use shack to load all of my photos (no account necessary).

 

[Shine]

can anyone else (that I haven't authorized) look at them? *suspicious*

 

[LyndaB]

Hmmmmm, let's see, you're going to post photos to a public website (fishlore) and you're wondering if anyone else has access to them?

Wherever you post them, if you're on-line, they are pretty much public property. Common sense dictates never to use an on-line hosting site for any picture you wouldn't want your mother to see.

You can have a private photo bucket account.
All you would have to do is copy and paste the img code in the thread.

How many kb's is the pic? What is the file type (jpeg etc)?
What is the width and height of the pics you're having problems with?

Edit:
Just to be clear, the pictures are for a thread not the contest?

 

[Shine]

I know, I know... don't ask for logic or rationality here Besides I want to share with the FL people, and despite (example) Lucy posting pics of 'Psyco kitty' on FL those pics won't turn up in a google search with those words.

going back though; why the issues posting pics when I never did before? Is there a limit of the number or something?

yep, a thread. Type: jpg .... it says the max number is 976.6 KB... my one pic was only 401

 

[Cichlidnut]

Have you tried one picture at a time?

 

[Shine]

I was only trying one

 

[Cichlidnut]

smack your computer around. that always fixes everything.

 

[Shine]

LOL! I'll do that.

Its just bugging me because I have never had this prob before and I am doing all the same things. Well... once I got the blank screen effect, but it worked when I tried again the next day. Not this time though

 

[Cichlidnut]

What browser are you using? also, what steps are you taking to upload? If you click "Go advanced" then the manage attachments button, are you trying to upload through this window?

 

[Lucy]

What about pixel height and width?

 

[Shine]

firefox; advanced, attachments ... yes to both

where do you go to find those measurements Lucy? regardless its the same as the last ones that I had no problems loading...

IS there a limit on the number of pics you can attach via paper-clipping?

 

[Lucy]

Right click on the picture
Click Properties
Click Details Tab

1460x1095/ height:width... which is less then many others I have posted

> Don't tempt me Lynda!

 

[Lucy]

Hmmm. I'm out of ideas.
That's well below the 2400 x 1800 allowable.

 

[Cichlidnut]

I post mine at 1280x960 Seems to work well. I'm not sure what this paper clipping is that your talking about. If you reallly want to get your pics up you can do the photobucket like others have talked about, It's free and really doesn't take that long to sign up.

 

[Shine]

'paper clipping' is the same thing as using the 'attachment button'. If you look at the button it looks like a paper clip.

Yeah, I have no idea either. That's why I am so annoyed by it.

I have problems posting pics in threads, but have no problem posting pics to an album in my profile. I just copy and paste the url to my album.

Good morning,

Try this:


I take photos from my hard drive after they have been resized. To resize my photos I use this:
picresize.com
I do not use Photo Bucket or any other photo site.

Thanks Ken, already been through all of that though. Have to try the photo albums again... last time I tried to use that I couldn't figure it out. Not that I tried all that hard
