I cant post pics... HELP!
« on: April 15, 2012, 08:18:51 PM »
Everytime lately I've tried to post pictures my computer goes all the way through the download and post part, but then just goes to a blank page, and my posts dont show up? I used to have no problem, and havent changed anything I do?

what are the size of the pic files? If they are too large, it might just time out.

I have no idea the pic size. Can someone explain how to change the size, then I'll try that. I got a good gobbler this morning, and some shed pictures from earlier in the year, that I'd love to share.

Yep, too large of a photo.  Technically, even though it is less than 2 Mb in size, the pixel size is still too big.  I used to be able to post any pic under 2 MB but now I have to make sure it is also under 800X600 pixels. 

TRY THIS --  This is very easy to do, just highlight your photo in your picture browser, right click and click on Open With, left click Paint, left click resize, it will give you a memory size option but it is easier to click on the pixel option, type in 800 and the other will automatically (usually) go to 600, then Save As.....

 :yeah: Right click over file.
Open with "paint"
Click on "image" tab
Select resize/skew
resize both the vertical and horizontal to 50%

should take care of it.

I dont know I am in the same boat i have spent hourss trying to get photos to post and just cannot get it done. Either from my computer or photobucket.
i dont know why it had to change but after this site crashed the photo posting option went to hell. I posted before than with same camera no problem. Now it takes a friggin act of god.

Is there not a easier system you can set up. There is someone posting every week about not being able to post pics. So I am not the only one. Some of you guys are computer wizzes but that is not alot of us. This photo posting feature needs to be fixed. Because it is too difficult to use.


We never had to resize before, If you need resizing set it up so it does it for us.

Ghost,
From my experience, I have always had to resize to fit the 2 MB restriction per picture.  I did not used to have to worry about the dimensions.  However, with Paint it is just as easy to change dimensions as file size, maybe easier since you don't have to guess what percentage to reduce it. 

Did you try it as per above?  I think it will work.  One way I got around it for a bit was to post the text and then modify it by adding the picture.  I also started having problems that way but with the 800X600 dimension modification, I have not had any problems.

Good luck.
