lancepar Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This is what I do presently. Reduce the image size in a photo editing programme like Photoshop to less than 100kb. Save the image to something like photobucket Then copy and post the HTML to the message. (not the URL) http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c214/lancepar/Autotrail/Rover_zpsduolawpu.jpg If I check this preview the message and image appear. Is this not the way it has always been????? I can't remember *-) Merry Xmas B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Assuming the error is to do with the picture size being too large you can resize it. On your PC go to the folder containing the photo you want to post the double click on the photo to open it - it will usually open with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, or something like that. Click on 'Edit Pictures' then select 'Resize' select 'predefined width x height' in the drop down field select the type of photo you want to resize to, eg 'Web - Large', then save and check what size it's been altered to, if its too big, repeat and select 'Web - Small' then save again. Once you're happy with the size you can then post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will H Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The best system for adjustment and alterations is Picasa. A free download. It beats all the other schemes by far. Everything is laid out and simple to use. Its very simple, pictures can be downloaded straight from a memory stick or CD. I find all the other systems far too complicated and messy! If I can use it then anyone can !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple threads cause confusion. Robinhoods thread is at: http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Problems-posting-pictures/40318/ :-S These are twoooooo different threads. The original is "Problem posting pictures" This thread is "photo posting problems" an alternative method of posting images until the site is fixed and is for peeps to add their methods to help others etc. Perhaps It should have been called "how to post your images until the site is fixed" to avoid confusion.

malc d Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 As advised by MMM on the original " Problems Posting Pictures " thread, the fix to their software will not be available until January 2016. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancepar Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 To Malc.............doing the testing. When you have compiled your message with images......do you check the "Preview" option. When I do the preview shows the message and the image, so I assume it also appears when I click "Submit". HTH B-) PS its Jan 2016 tomorrow, posting images shouldn't be a problem anymore the proper way ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 As I understand it, re-establishing the forums’ ‘Attach a file after posting’ facility will involve Microsoft providing a software patch to overcome a bug in the Microsoft Server update that was released in the first couple of weeks of December. This patch apparently won’t be available until some time in January and then it will need to be applied to the Warners system. So don’t hold your breath... (There’s little point in ‘testing’ the system to see if the feature is suddenly working as a message will be posted to this forum once the ‘fix’ has been carried out.)

MC Whelk Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hello, I'm pleased to say that the patch to fix the image up-loader has been released by Microsoft and it was installed this afternoon. Our initial testing looks promising and it appears the problem is now resolved. Once again, sorry for any inconvenience and please don't hesitate to report any further issues with the forum. Kindest regards, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek, how did you do that. (?) B-) What is T.I.M. ? I found a reference on the Urban Dictionary, but I’m doubtful it’s what you meant. The attached file approaches the 100KB limit. I experimented with the same image but tweaked to just over 100KB and the attachment-system rejected it with a warning message. So everything is now back to normal.
