How DO you put pictures on here?

I am trying to follow Dave's instructions on how to put thumbnails on here:eek::eek:

I have loaded the picture on to irfanview and downsized it, then when I try to save it to my desktop it keeps saying PDF save error. What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried Photobucket ?

I use it all the time for posting images.

Works best with jpeg files in my experience.

WCM is correct.

Coming back in October over France ;)

It's tooo big!:eek:

I thought you were ill RR?:confused:

Go into 'Post Reply' then scroll down to 'Manage Attachments'. Click on 'Browse' then go to the folder on your computer where the photo is and open it. It should appear below your post window and when you submit it will be in a thumbnail. Double click to enlarge it. Try below.

Photobucket does rezize of your photos as well (Easy to use );)

RR ill :eek: Nothing a pub can't put right for him :) (Drink plenty fluids etc):D

PS Well Done your test works:):)

Blimey Kalos that was quick, lol. I hadn't finished, I was trying to remember how I did it a couple of years ago. I think that's right.:):)

Thanks Jan, but it didn't work it kept saying "upload failed" :eek:

Thanks WCM but I'm not on facebook or twitter.

DS had shown me how to do it on tinypics, so here is the picture I have been trying to post since 4.30pm :rolleyes::rolleyes:

It is the Dream next to the Oasis of the Seas. It must be the camera angle, but the Dream looks as big if not bigger than Oasis :D:D

Oooh there's no stopping me now :D:D:D

I tried that a while ago but kept saying remote file too large

Not the same effect though :D

the largest size for a jpg file is 97kb. that is OK for a good image but the pixel size restrictions make for a small image.

Yuo either use a remote site with a link like the large piccies on here or you use pdf format thumbnails with a 970kb file size limit as i do.

Of course if your irfanview won't create valid pdf's you have a problem

But why did mine keep saying "PDF save error" ? In English please Dave :D:D:D

Thatt pic is not to big at all.

In fact it shows perfect detail.

The actual embedded cruise critic ones are actually quite poxy and the only thing smaller I've seen is a postage stamp. Often it's hard to pick up any detail...god knows how some of the oldies around here can even see them..

apparently it is a problem with recent versions of irfanview. the fix should be being worked on?

my version of irfanview is an ancient one from 2007 and works fine :o

Never used TinyPic before - seems to do the business without using Photobucket.

This above the size indicated for forum message boards.

Below is for emails, half size of above.

Straightforward, even I can manage it !!!

Good isn't it? There are several sizes to chose from! Thanks to my brainy son - he is an IT wizard. Unlike his mother:D:D

Please thank your son and heir for flagging up TinyPics.

My offspring has an IT degree and works in that field - he'll sort computer problems when visiting us auld folks, but never explains how.
