why too big [pics]

hi tryin to upload pics, says its too big. but i seen heaps of big n bigger pics on the forum. where am i going wrong, thanks greg

hope ya find out, I've been trying for ages and no matter what I do it tells me it's too big. 😬 🙅 🤪

File size too big or image dimensions too big?

it just says attachment is too big. i tried with normal transfer of file also zipped file. same outcome

Easiest way to upload pictures is to use imageshack.

Create a free account (takes two seconds) then find the 'direct link' and copy it into the page. It will look something like...

[img*]www.blahblahblah.com/picture[img/*]

(without the *'s]

once pasted into the forum reply area it will appear as an image when posted 🙂

It's nothing to do with the physical size, it's the resolution which affects the file size, they need to be less than 100kb

But as Ollie said above easiest way is to use a photo hosting site like photobucket or image shack, then they can also be viewed without having to log in.

Good Point Joel - and with today's camera quality 100kb is absoultely tiny!

Maybe someone should sticky a step by step process of using a photo hosting site process?

please do, I've tried them all but no go, but then these bloody pooters hate me. 🤓

thanks for u help......... got it sorted now...................... are all the pics on the forum really under 100kb?

Hi

I use AxiomX pic sizer a free app for bulk resizing and Microsoft Image Composer for individual photos. I've done instructions for Microsoft Image Composer in a PDF format, I can email them if your interested.

If you put large size pictures in the online picture hosting sites, when you put a link in post on here they will still take long time to load.
