Viewing and Posting pictures on the Forum
Maggi Young:
I've just tried another resizing method that I've known of but not tried before .... emailing the image to oneself. Just done this with a file over 3.69 MB and requested the 1024 x 628 option, clicked send and got a resized photo arrive, just 138kb which loads perfectly.
Actually much quicker than using the ACDSee programme I would ordinarily use to resize and useful if you find your files are really too large to load easily.
Have asked Fred Admin to look into question of tweaking time-out limits in case that is a factor in the problem one or two are reporting.
Method described in previous post working for most I'm glad to say.

Oh dear, I do not know why you have this problem. I do occasionally have such a hiccup but by and large the system will post photos of just abut any size without "complaint". The other day I was posting pix from elsewhere for a member and I posted a whole string of large size images without bother. Suddenly the system decided to "change its mind" and baulked at any larger than 200kb. Irritating? Yes, but I used the simple resizing element I have on my ancient ACDSee programme and then loaded the pix as usual. It really didn't take very long and the end result is that the photos are there in the forum as a lasting record.
I am far from being a computer whizz and the programme I use for photo sizing etc is, in computer terms, almost antediluvian, so no fancy knowledge or equipment is needed.
As previously stated, it seems the best way to load photos is using the attachimg route = inline full size image
Of course, there will be internet connection changes/interruptions from time to time - depending on the service in a given area or time, and often these are so minimal as to pass un-noticed generally, but they do occur, I am reliably informed, so I do hope that people will not be deterred and will make that extra effort, should it be needed, to support the forum fully.
