Uploading photos into threads

[Cantab]

I seem to have lost the ability to upload thumbnails or photos onto threads. Used to be able to do it, now I can't. Can anyone explain?

Hmmm, seems to be working for me.....

Cantab - The Community seemed to be acting up a bit yesterday when I was on (some 12 hours or so after you). That may or may not be the problem you saw. I'd say try again.

I can be so retarded ( not ment in a bad way ) at times. I finally figured out that I've had a program function that will resize my pictures for the web all along. Perhaps now that I know I'm just a few clicks away from posting an image.....we'll see more pictures from me, they say they're worth a thousand words. Before it seemed like so much work.

Right on Aaron. I just discovered the skew/stretch button. re-sizes in minutes. Also, if you want to get fancy without photoshop, you can try Picasa...its free. (But my computer ate it somehow so I might have to download it again.)

Let's see if this works --

cool, it worked!

Now does anyone know how to upload photos to my user gallery? I am limited to 2k which won't get me very far... is there a secret handshake or something you need to do to get more space here? ;-) thx

Aaron could you tell me where the programme function is to resize photos. I am on Windows XP and have my photos saved in 'My Pictures' but can only 'compress and send to email'

Perhaps Julianna wouldn't mind explaining the process to us--yet again--or in lieu of that, giving us the date of her original post on the correct way to upload pictures. ??? I printed it out but have since lost it.

Thanks for answering for me, Gormmet.

For resizing images, try GIMP (legitimately free, and it works!).

going back to this ancient topic, please help. I've found the skew and stretch bottons on Photoshop, but what I end up with is crap. when squeezing the size down to 1kb, my posted image comes out microscopic. what's the trick?

My approach, which is not terrific in this case, but works and is relatively easy, is to send the large size photo to myself as an email attachment. A window comes up when I select the image to send, asking if I want to make the image smaller. I click the box to so do.

Making the image smaller often compresses it to a size that will upload here. So I go to my email, click on the photo attached to my email message, and save it to my photos file on my computer, perhaps re-naming it to avoid any confusion. This then becomes the photo ready to be uploaded.
