Photo posting test
This is a photo posting testing for fordnut. Only problem I can see Kurt is the photo size. Both of these photos were in the 2 Mb range, when reduced to the 200 to 300 Kb range they posted with no problem.

Re: Photo posting test
I have found that the simple act of emailing pictures reduces them to a manageable size. It started when a member in Australia sent me some pictures that he couldn't post because they were too large. I was kind of puzzled when I was able to post them to "The Barn" with no problem. It then dawned on me that most mail packages are going to optimize the size of attachments for efficiencies sake. So now, instead of jumping through a bunch of hoops, I just email 'em to myself and the post them. This works, at least for my "gmail".

Re: Photo posting test
That is sure not the case with any photos emailed to me! They are always much to large to be posted and have to be reduced in size. Would be interesting to see what email program you are using where this occurs. In my case it is much easier to reduce the photo files size directly than it would be to email them, so not sure what the hoops are.

Re: Photo posting test
If people would post the hardware and software they are using with their photos hopefully someone would post the easiest way to resolve the size problem. When I email photos they are not reduced in size. I use a "Photos" software (from Apple) with a MAC computer.
As a side note there is a forum intended to practice things like posting photos, https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13 Charlie Stephens |

Re: Photo posting test
There are several ways to reduce photo size in Windows, but no idea with MAC. Someone on the Barn should know, or do an online search.

Re: Photo posting test
I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager. But you can use the Paint function to resize. You can also right click on the photo you want to resize and select "Open With". In the "Open With" window select "Photo Gallery". In "Photo Gallery" select "Edit" (it's to the far left) and then "Size". Then you need to select where you want the resized file to be saved, I use desktop. I'm sure there are other ways as well, but I use Picture Manager (and have for years) so really haven't explored all the ways to go about it.

Re: Photo posting test
I've used this freeware program for Windows for years for editing photos.

Re: Photo posting test
Just an FYI for those who want to try posting pictures, there is a Test Forum here where you can practice to your heart's content, without making practice posts on the discussion forum.

Re: Photo posting test
i'm just seeing this. thanks for doing this for me. i'd sure like to know what changed and if it's on my end. I know that sometimes when a computer updates itself, things change and it's up to you to figure it out. not good. I don't even know where to look for a size changing button.

Re: Photo posting test
I open each picture in Paint (old school) and resize them to 800 to 900 pixels wide (narrower if a tall picture). Save em, rename em and post em. Then I have the original in a high res format, which is sometimes useful to zoom in to see a detail. I have also started hosting some pics on photobucket. That seem to be showing up ok in the posts I've made recently.

[QUOTE=Mart;1649485 I have also started hosting some pics on photobucket. [/QUOTE] when I think of "photobucket" I think of missing pictures. that's all I know about them. you want to see a picture, and all's you get is a "photobucket is holding them for ransom, maybe one day you'll see them. but probably not. we're photobucket"

Re: Photo posting test
i'll post some pictures from different files taken with the same camera, I bet they come out, and I won't re-size. because I don't know how.

And that setting just happens to fall within the parameters needed to successfully post in this forum. Then again if the camera is old enough it may not be able to take pictures at a resolution great enough to exceed the limitations.
