Title: The only site that I can't post pictures
Post by: edward on August 25, 2013, 09:49:05 am
 This is the only site that won't let me post pictures, says the file is to big, haven't learned how to do it any other way. No problems posting elsewhere.  edward

This is an attempt to save disk space. If you have Microsoft Office installed, you can right click the photo, Open With... Microsoft Office, Picture/Compress Picture, then select Web Page. That usually reduces a photo jpg to about 50kB. Steve's site limits a picture to 128kB.

Or you can use something like Picassa or PhotoBucket to upload the full sized photo to a web site, then embed a link to the uploaded picture in you posting on Steve's site. Here's a sample photo linked using the Picture button (2nd from the left button above):

It's a little cumbersome, but I like the Picassa route - I have all my completed scroll saw work in an album and can share it with whoever is interested.

I use a program called Easy Thumbnails to shrink mine down. It is really easy and fast.

I have a photobucket account its free, load my pictures there, then using the link tag link the picture I want to show in the post, sometimes it shows the picture sometimes will put just the link, that way doesn't take space and not under a size limit.

Resizing in other forums is automatic but when I post here I resize the images myself using a program called "Paint"

I have found that if I e-mail the picture to my self that if I click on the window to make pictures smaller that works for me.
