Here are a few notes to help with uploading pictures.
To keep things from getting out of hand I have set a few limits on file size, and pictures must come within these dimensions:
- Maximum width: 640 pixels
- Maximum height: 640 pixels
- Maximum file size: 150KB
Preparing your image files
Save your photos as .jpg files as this gives by far the best balance of file size and quality.
At this size, pictures are large enough to show up well but will still fit on the screen and not take forever to download. If you feel that these cramp your style too much then you are welcome to upload pictures to your own web space and post a link to them in your message here!
Most decent graphics software will allow you to resize pictures easily. If you haven't got a program to do this though, there are plenty available to download such as PaintStudio Lite which is free and will do the job easily.
Uploading your pictures
When you have clicked on new thread, post reply or quote as appropriate, scroll down the page to the Additional Options section.
Click on the Manage Attachments button and a new window will pop up. Click the Browse button and find the image file on your computer. When you have selected it repeat for other images and click on Upload.
When you submit your message the uploaded files will be attached (although they won't show in the message preview)
Let me know if you have any problems and I'll be happy to help.
Cheers
