Make it easier to add pics

[ylwhrse]

So I'm good with engines , body work ect BUT Im not so good with computers and am frustrated trying to add pics. I have never had as much trouble posting pics as I have had on the website here. Most places it's as easy as copy & paste but not here. I have resized re taken everything I can think of and have yet been able to post pics! Im terribly frustrated with this !! I can put an engine together blindfolded and in the dark but I cant add pictures. Its not very user friendly at all. I would suggest some upgrades here please. Otherwise the rest of the site is great !! Its a great resource! Just need help with pictures.

The problem is people need to learn how to reduce the size of the picture.

Most cameras nowadays take pictures that are 2-4 megs in size. This site does not have the ability to reduce the sizes. Im hoping the people that make this script come out with something that can change that. So basically for now if you cant reduce the size of the photo to 500k WHICH IS HUGE Im not sure how to help. The problem is even though it reduces the size of the photo viewable on the forums, the actual size is still 2-3 megs per photo on the server. This over time begins to take tons of space and then the cost of upgrading my server with my hosting company gets expensive.

People that use Windows 7 also have the ability to use Snipping Tool that will reduce the size.

This is a great program and its free! InFranView

I've been using Photobucket.com for sevreal years. It's free too. Just upload your pictures to Photobucket. Once you upload, there are several options under each photo for copying. I usually click on the "IMG Code" which copies the photo, then past into my thread response. It's pretty easy. Here is an example:

Cool thanks! That gives me a couple of options to try and and get to work. I will give them a try.
