Photos

Hi I am trying to upload a photo and it keeps coming up file too large. Any idea how I can get the photo on? Thanks

I use Photobucket, which is free, to upload photos to - then all you do is post the IMG link from there into this forum. I promise it's very simple!

I prefer Imgr to Photobucket. It couldn't be easier.

You can resize in MS Paint. Really simple.

I'm not the one to ask but I open the picture in Paint, select Resize, click on the Pixels option, highlight the top pox with the numbers in and type in 550. Close the programme and click Save in the box that pops up and bingo...it will be accepted for the post you wish to put it in.

On the contrary Doug, you never seem to have problems posting photos (thankfully) so I'd say you're as good a person to ask as anyone. :wink:

What's the speed like on Imgr Mike? Photobucket is often frustratingly slow to switch between screens, I will admit, on the free version at least!

Thanks for all the help . Hopefully the picture is attached to the topic.

Thanks Doug I used this method and it worked wonderfully.

Very good, and I find it a whole lot easier to navigate than Photobucket, where finding old photos can be a bit of a task. BTW, I misspelt it. It's Imgur.

Sounds more like an Ikea bookcase than a photo hosting site!

Thanks Mike, will give it a go.
