How to Attach Images Inline

[David Stratton]

Steve,
Right here on this page if you go up to the header and click the dropdown at "community" then click groups it will take you to the groups area where you can then click on the "Grizzly Green Monster Group". Roger Chandler has told me there should be an icon in the upper right corner to click on to upload images but I have tried both Firefox and Google Chrome and still find no such icon. The main thing though is that when I attempt to attach an image when responding in a thread I do not get the option to retrieve an image from "my computer", just the window asking for the url of the image. Hope you have better luck than I did.

David - in order to see what the problem was - I had to temporarily join your group. Once joined - here is what I saw:

When I clicked on + Add Pictures (I highlighted it with a red box) - this is the screen that opened:

Add Pictures 2.jpg

Click on the area (again highlighted in Red) that is labeled - Add Files. That allows you to access your computer and upload the photo you want.

Give it a try and if you have any questions - let me know here or PM me directly.

Since the attachment up loading was changed I can't up load photos anymore.It says the images are to large but I have'nt changed anything.Any ideas?

[David Christopher]

this is way different than before

[Steve Schlumpf]

Jeff - what size photo are you trying to upload?

[Jeff Fagen]

Thanks Steve, 180 DPI,3456 x 2592 ,2.16 MB

[Steve Schlumpf]

Jeff - the limits for a jpg photo are 800 x 600 pixels with a file size no larger than 107 KB. I know the old software was able to downsize your photos automatically if you didn't do it yourself but I think that was a special patch that Aaron had written.

Do you have a graphics program you can use to resize your photos? If not, there are a number of free programs that work quite well. PM me if you would like some recommendations.

Hi Steve,

I'm trying to upload a 71.9 kb 640x480 pic an I do not get an error message but it just doesn't load? How long should it take on a DSL line to upload this? It was about 1 amThursday morning 2/10.

Thanks

[Steve Schlumpf]

Charles - I wouldn't think that it would take very long at all - especially at 1 a.m.! Only suggestion would be to try again later because you just never know where the routing is taking your signal and with all the major storms going on at that time - wouldn't be surprised is there were delays.

I just tried uploading two photos into a post and all that showed up were links. I've loaded photos before but the way to do it seems to have changed. I'm going to try again here and see what happens. If it doesn't work, I would really like some help.

[Stew Hagerty]

Hmmm, ok now it worked.

What is the optimum size photo to post? I want to show pretty good detail.

Kevin...I resize my images to 650 pixels wide and keep the proportions. If you go above 800 pixels wide, the viewer can't see the whole image at one time.

I hope this is the right place for this question, but is there a way to put all the photos you have uploaded into one of the albums? I created an album, but have nothing in it now, and cannot figure out how to do that.
