Need Help Posting Pictures? Here it is!

Good idea for a post Mike, just one thing missing that I can see: file type and image size. One of your screenshots shows a window that says "Images must be of the type jpg, jpeg, gif, png and have a maximum file size of 500KB". I think that's worth pointing out.

The other thing that's important is images fit best on the page if they are 400X600 pixels or smaller. If they are larger, it will be inserted with scrollbars inside the post, which makes seeing the entire image tedious.

The easiest way I've found to change both of these things, without downloading any software, is in Microsoft Paint. Go into Paint and click Image, Attributes (or properties in Paint 2010...don't know why they changed that) and it will show you the pixel count. You can then resize the image using the Stretch/Skew command. When finished editing the image, if it is an incorrect file type, click Save As, and change the file type to one of those listed above.

Doesn't work

This is why we need an android/apple app

Steve,
This is a good reason to use one of the online photo sites like phobucket. I download to phobucket and have my profile set to automatically resize. It also has a nice edit feature. Once it's loaded, all that's needed to to click (copy) on the url and paste it to your reply.

I,m still not able to upload pictures! Two months ago it was no problem!? what is changed in the meantime? look at me topic "PCM Excalibur 330 in barefoot nautique" there are only little incons shown instead of pictures

I just uploaded the picure direct from my computer.

Thanks! i saved it as 1@50% and that was the problem!
