Posting pictures in Photo Gallery

Kennybill · March 27th, 2007, 10:05 AM

Hello, A while back I managed to post a pic in the 98 section but I forgot how I did it.

I have a Photobucket album. I think I pasted a thumbnail pic if I recall. Any help appriecated, thanks, Ken

maybe you should try posting pics again so you will remember how you did it. By the way, nice shots of cars there!

I still haven't been able to post pictures in the "Oldsmobile photo gallery." I post one a while back but haven't been able to do it again. Help! Ken

Kenny, when you take your photos with your camera, they are usually large size files (1-3 megabites). Check the actual files using file explorer to see what size they are. To post to the gallery, they must be 100 kilobites (100k) or less, otherwise they will not post. You should get an error that they are too large. In order to reduce them (make file smaller), you will need some sort of photo editting software (Photoshop, Corel, PaintShop Pro, etc...)

If you want, you can email me a couple of them and I will reduce them for you.

Hope this helps.

Hey Dave, does that offer to resize some photos appy to newby as well? I have mine on disk from Walgreens (35mm camera) and I know how to send them in an email, I just can't (don't have the software) resize them to post. I've had a couple of requests. Can't even remember how I managed to get one as my avitar! I think that was a fluke, I had put some of the pictures in my computer and it accepted when I just tried one. When I try to post more than one, things get a little hairy

Let me know and I'll send them. Thanks.

Use http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ or create an account at http://photobucket.com/. You can resize pics there as well as host.

Let me know if you have any questions.

No worries. I think it's pretty self-explainatory. I think photobucket will be the better bet. Upload the pix, double click and resize. Use the IMG code to insert it into your sig.
