Title: Posting Pictures?
Post by: sixball on December 04, 2020, 01:31:30 AM
 I can't post pictures. I have been playing on the practice place and I have done several searches and only found the thread about multiple images. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Do the photos have tube hosted somewhere other than my computer? I am using a MAC is that a problem? Could it be the photos are too large? here has to be a way because I've done it before.  Thanks.

Sixball I post photos from my laptop.  They are not hosted by any other site.  I try to make sure they are smaller than 1 mb and I usually don't have any issues.  I'll post a pic here to test.

OK, Thanks. I'll try again. I have tried posting them from my desk top and from files of photos. The ones I'm trying may be too big they are from a game camera. They are jpg.

A good program to resize and crop is Irfanview.  Here's the link to download it for free.  https://www.irfanview.com/ (https://www.irfanview.com/)

Thanks Tom. I got some practice pictures to post but now I can't delete that post. A message says that we can not delete our own posts here. We should be able to remove things we post by mistake or for what ever reason we want to remove it. I realize that could disrupt the flow of a thread but we need that option.
The pictures did not come up in "preview" just when I posted them. That may be the problem I was having.
 Thanks for the link.

Alright, I did it! :) I was confused because the pictures did not show up in "preview". Also I see that the practice I posted is gone. Maybe it self destructs in time. I am good here and you guys are in trouble now! ::)

Thank you. The picture thing is pretty easy. Easier than whatever I did before. I still think we should be able to delete our own posts. It might help in keeping things in the right place and save those with power some time.  :)

I recall having a beer with a fellow "Rusty Bowtie" member in that establishment a while back  ;D  Hopefully we can do it again someday!
