When you preview your post, the attachments don't show, as you found out.

Post by: bobcat on August 22, 2012, 05:18:21 PM: Yeah, "Wildgame Innovations." I have two of their cameras, the W6X model, which Amazon had back in January for $50 each. One of mine I just sent back to Wildgame for a replacement under warranty.

The other one has been working great. I really like the videos.

Post by: Heredoggydoggy on August 22, 2012, 09:37:03 PM: After I find the picture I want, I left-click to highlight it, then right-click on it an click "select". For some reason, my Wildgame pics don't post unless I resize them in "paint", and save them as a JPG file, then do as I described. Probably not the right way, but it works for a low-tech old fart like me! :chuckle:

No, sounds like you're doing it the right way. Just got to resize them so they're not too big. I usually use Microsoft Office Picture Manager, but I'm sure Paint works just as well.

And we don't have to go through a site like photobucket or equal?

That's what I've been doing. The site doesn't seem to like big pictures, though, so I resize the ones I want to post to 800x600. Doesn't seem to hurt the looks any either...

You could always do it that way. I never had a problem attaching pictures directly. Only issue was they had to be resized to 800x600 or smaller.

It's taking bigger sizes now. For a while there it wouldn't take anything bigger than 800x600. I'm not sure what the max is now. I still size them to 800x600 as there's no reason to go any bigger than that.
