Mel B Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Quite a few people seem to be having problems posting photos, getting then infamous 'Error' message and believing that it hasn't worked, however, in most cases the photo will actually have been posted! So long as the photo is 100kb or less there actually isn't an error - to check: 1) On the photo attachment window browse to the photo you want and click on the 'Submit' button 2) When you get the 'Error' message use the 'back' arrow on your web browser (top left) to go back to the photo attachment window 3) Now click on the 'Return to thread' link and you'll see your picture there in all its glory. If you want to post more than one picture, repeat nos 1) and 2) above until you've done all your photos then click on the 'Return to thread' link. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallii Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I can't even see a way of posting a photo. How is it done on here? H http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/twoandaquarter/IMG_0003-3.jpg Let's see if that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 hallii - 2012-02-27 10:00 PM I can't even see a way of posting a photo. How is it done on here? H From memory :The way I do it is to 'post a reply ' - and then go back and edit it. When you go into edit it gives an option to " Add / Remove attachments " You click on ' Add ' and then attach a photo that MUST be less than 100 kbs. Then click submit and your photo should appear attached to your original posting. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggyd Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You write your message and then click the Attach a file after posting , that then lets you browse your computer for the photo you want you click on that and it should save it 8-) I think.

hallii Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I just did a pic that was full size, I simply edited my orginal post and used "HTML" from Photobucket directly pasted into the post. Then submitted it and the site seems to resize it automatically. Like this: http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/twoandaquarter/IMG_0005-2.jpg Lets have lots of photos now?

Caddies104 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Mel B On 1) you mention "on the photo attachment window" I cannot see that window! Is it "attach a file after posting" Is that the same? Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisB Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 hallii - 2012-02-27 10:00 PM I can't even see a way of posting a photo. How is it done on here? H a href="http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/twoandaquarter/?action=view¤t=IMG_0003-3.jpg" target="_blank">http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x306/twoandaquarter/IMG_0003-3.jpg Let's see if that works Hallii Your solution gets around the 100kB limit for photographs by inserting an HTML "hyperlink" to your photograph On Photobucket. I have removed th HTML <> brackets in your posting above which (hopefully) will show the link. Doing it this way has enabled you to but text above and below the image. We mere mortals without on-line photo stores have to battle with the 100kB limit on uploading photographs (as I've said before most sites will allow you to upload any size image and automatically re-size to fit their pages). Depending on how you have set your digital camera most images will now be in excess of 1MB (approx 1000kB) so some drastic re-sizing will be necessary before uploading. Many photo-editing software applications will allow you to load an image then save in a different size/resolution. I personally use a free application called Irfanview ( http://www.irfanview.com/ ) which enables single or multiple "batch" re-sizing of images (saved to another - temporary - folder to avoid over-writing of originals). If the image is 4:3 aspect ratio I would re-size to 640x480 pixels (this equates to a size around 60kB). If "widescreen" (16:9) 1024x576 pixels (about 80kB). Alternatively if you know the original image is e.g. 1Mb you can opt for a reduction in physical size to 30% (giving a final image of 9% of original size as each side is reduced to 30% of original). I know others have devised other novel methods such as emailing the image to themselves - Outlook will then ask if the image should be reduced in size before sending. Shouldn't be necessary in this day and age - but we have to live with it. Just imagine how few items would be posted on Ebay if there was a 100kB limit on picture sizes.

Robinhood Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Caddies104 - 2012-02-28 10:37 AM Mel B On 1) you mention "on the photo attachment window" I cannot see that window! Is it "attach a file after posting" Is that the same? Derek .....yes. If you tick that box and then "submit", you will be given an additional intermediate screen allowing you to browse to the photo you wish to post, and then submit again. As already stated, that photo needs to have a filesize of 100kb max, and you may get an error 500 when submit (but if it WAS no greater than 100kb, it will most likely have worked, and browsing back through the forum to your post will confirm). As also posted, it is possible, within the 30 min deadline, to edit a post and add/remove photo(s) via a similar process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddies104 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks RobinHood, like the new photo, but also did like the Archer. It shows that window but will not open...must be an IPad problem, have to go back to the laptop,but that's really slow Thanks again, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallii Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just a pointer re: the Photobucket storage site. It is free, it is quick, and you get 1 Gb and 10 albums if you want. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
