posting pictures
 

Has any one found that posting pictures has been retarded. Yes it''s a nice board. But trying to post pictures about my tank has been a pain in the butt. Its telling me that my pictures are exceeding the limit. With that my pictures are only 17.kb and in fact are still too large.

Can some one may be poin me in the right direction too with this problem or is it just me. I have spent 2 hrs rediong the pictures over and over. i'm ready to pack it in on posting pictures.....

And another thing where are the smiles are gone.

Hello,

Photos has been size limited to 20kB. The problem was due to pixel size restriction. The new limit is now 640x480.

Smilies are still there :) just use the " : ) " ones :D and it automaticly adds em. Plus there are more in the advanced editor, so instead of quick reply use the post reply or whatever it is.

Patience people. Always things to work out with all the new hardware. Titus, like most other working people, only has so much time to work on the board.

We are on top of most of the problems and bring them up to him in the moderator forum. As soon as he has time, he corrects them or looks into correcting them.

We will get everything firing on all cylinders here, asap.

Thanks for the patience.

:mrgreen:

Well I have problems with pictures but that is because I am a total idoit when it comes to computors and particularly trying to use photo programs. I think that Titus should be nominated for Dude of the Year or something for the fantastic work that he has done to keep this site up and running and useable for all the rest of us worms.

I am having problems as well. I edit the photos and they go blurry :( Try to post them and I exceed the limit. I guess I will have to tinker with this a little more.

There are a lot of options in the Control Panel that I had to turn on or change. One of them is to change my editor from Basic to Standard. The smilies are in the Standard editor. Some of the other things that I had to change were my Time Zone, Email notifications for PM's, and allowing others to send me Emails. :idea: :smile:

I still find it difficult to post pictures. On the other board I just cut and pasted the Photobucket URL. I can't get that to work. I have to now type the entire url in after the [img]tag:sad: I am not complaining, I am just not as quick at my advanced age.

Hello,

Ruth, goto Additional Options->Manage Attachments below the text box where you enter your message. This only works if you hit the Reply button. The feature is not available if you hit Quick Reply.

Reefhawk1, not sure why it went blurry on you. MS Paint should do fine if you save it as a jpg file, within 640x480.

Samw, yes there are a lot of options and all of the Staff members are learning also.

BobI, not sure why your image tag won't work for you. For inserting an image with an URL, just click on the Insert Image button above the area where you enter the message.

That is what I tried, but when I pasted the url into the box I had no luck.:sad:
