Got a PM From a Member asking how to Post Photo to the Forum.

Could someone PLEASE do a Step by Step so this guy can figure out what I am having troble explaining to him..


THANKS...:p
 
This topic has been brought up in the past on the forum, and there are some GREAT posts relating to the topic. So maybe a little search on the forum would provide the answer in detail. There are some very seasoned forum posters on this site! :p

BTW, I would like to throw it out there that I think it is a good thing to REDUCE the pixels of the .jpeg file, so that it is not so large as to make the window of all posts in a thread expand east to west, so as not to require one to scroll from left to right, just to see the photo in its entirety. This happens frequently, and though I do enjoy seeing the pictures, I do not like having to scroll left to right to read a post thereafter in a thread which has a HUGE .jpeg file within it. JMHO, FWIW!

In Windows XP, I use the PAINT application to reduce pixels. I copy the .jpeg file onto my desktop. I pull it up in PAINT. I then click on the IMAGES button at the top, the fourth one over in the PAINT application.

I then click on STRETCH/SKEW in the IMAGES button and reduce the pixels from 100 to about 25 on the HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL choices, depending on the size of the .jpeg file.

Hope this helps!

In order for a .jpeg or other picture file to be posted on the forum, it must be reduced in size. So the info I provided previously is one way to do this. I know there are other software applications which can do this as well.

Now one is ready to ATTACH it to a post, after the pixels have been reduced.

When a person is getting ready to place it within a post, they then scroll down to the ADDITIONAL OPTIONS section, when they are ready to add the picture file.

Click on MANAGE ATTACHMENTS. A new window will pop up.

Click on BROWSE, locate the new-and-reduced picture file, and then UPLOAD it. This will take several seconds.

That's it in a nutshell, at least the way I do it.
