Tried to post some pics but I had a security issue

51 MERC-CT · 01-10-2019, 06:11 PM

Feeling insecure about posting pictures?

Charlie Stephens · 01-10-2019, 06:20 PM

Try reducing the size and posting again. The security message is a generic message, one size fits none.

Ron, files being too large is the major reason for posting issues.

Hi Ron,

Yeah the message you got is misleading. Its not a security issue but a picture size issue. Its happened to me too and nothing to be concerned about.

I check the size before I posted. jog is 500k mine were less than 2k. But I could be wrong, because I'm in this Windows 10 system and this is the firest time I've tried to post a picture, and for me it's quite complicated.. It took me several hrs and help from a grand son too get this far. XP waz very simple.

I hear ya, I have Windows 10 loaded on an older computer. The up load was from an XP operating system. I was using a newer computer that came with Windows 10 loaded, but it was not allowing me to do what I was wanting to do. So, I dug out my older unit and have been using it for several months. Not sure what the difference is the Win 10 loads, but the older programs that were already loaded work with the upgrade, but I can't load them on the preloaded operating system. It can be a total pain in the ass!

Ol' Ron · 01-10-2019, 08:36 PM

Youse guys are absolutely right!!! The file is too big 2.8 m. It's as small as i can make it, so I'll have to bring another gran son. Been trying to post these 4 pics for a week or so, great learning experience. "Stupid is, what stupid does". Don't go away, I'll try again tomorrow.

You need to get a program that allows you to reduce a file size.

I'm using windows 7 to post and it is easy to downsize a photo using the built in windows paint program. Just click resize and pick the percentage you want to downsize. Not small enough? Click again and continue til the pic is small enough. Although really I did not even need to do that. I find this forum will automatically down size the photos I post. They can be 1.5 mb when I post and the forum down sizes them to less than 100 kb.

What's a mb?

Well I have the pic size down to 51 K and it seems to upload OK, unfortunately, it don't! However, I'm getting close. Just remember: it's the journey, not the destination. Us old farts have allot of perseverance, or we wouldn't work on Flatheads..

DITTO< Ol'Ron….windows 10 is a real mess, for us old folks.

Ol' Ron · 01-11-2019, 03:04 PM

OK Guys, I got it working, but I'm not sure how. See Dual distributors,

JSeery · 01-11-2019, 03:11 PM

LOL, that is what normally happens to me! I mess and mess with something on the computer, then it starts working and I'm never sure what really solved it.
