Smithy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have been trying to upload a couple of photo's to a thread now for the past few hours but it won't let me for some reason. The bar that says it is uploading goes all the way to the end but then they don't upload. I've left it about ten minutes just incase it was on a go slow but it still hasn't helped. Any ideas of what it could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Your pic may be too big, click the blue question mark in the upload manager window to see sizes allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Your pic may be too big, click the blue question mark in the upload manager window to see sizes allowed. Thanks. The picture size is 1.49mb which shouldn't be too large to upload as it actually tells you if it is as I have just tried another picture.

sirhc Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Don't take this the wrong way, but nearly 2mb for a photo is far too large for this forum. You should resize photos to try and keep them to below 500kb. Large picture files take up lots of bandwith, increase the running costs of the forum and make the pages slower to load. In addition to this there are plenty of us who view the forum from mobile devices, where these problems are even worse. There are plenty of threads on here discussing software to resize photos, if in doubt there's always Google. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike65 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Had an issue with uploading photos had two fails One was on size. Yet I managed to upload a slightly larger one. the other was to fo with resolution/image size. It was a scanned photo which had a strange size. I assumed it was just a bad day Will make full notes if it occurs again. Generally I do not have any problems as I resize images to either 900 or 1200 (pixels) on the longest length with proportions maintained. I then save as a jpeg with a size between 0.5 and 1mb. Use Photoshop Elements. This example was saved down to 1200(x800) with a file size of 520kb. Perfectly fine for viewing. The upload also seems to down size it further as it appears as 172.6 kb in the attachment manager. (This could be where the issue occurs as it probably can only handle certain sizes. Straight from the camera this was a 10.2 mb jpg file. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice but I'm the same as Mark, below, in never having had this trouble before and have uploaded pictures bigger than this over the years. So I'm surprised that there is a problem with it this time around. Scott Chris, I have never had problems before though, the last piccy I uploaded (uniforms) is 1.78mb and that loaded ok, but one that is 1.69 wont!

Smithy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm still having problems uploading photo's, in fact I haven't been able to for some time now. If it is becuase they are too big what can I do to make them smaller? I always been able to upload pics from this camera before so I can't see why I can't now. Any help much appreciated as I have got something of interest I want to stick online. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Cheers guys. I have found out my old photobucket account so can perhaps use that in future but will have a look at that website now Joris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike65 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Cheers guys. I have found out my old photobucket account so can perhaps use that in future but will have a look at that website now Joris. The program Joris has suggested looks quite good especially if doing a lot of images. I tend to resize mine using Photo Shop Elements so the the largest dimension is 900 or 1200 pixels and then do a save as making sure image file size is below 1mb. I have experienced a few problems but when viewing the info provided for failure it turns out it has been my fault for cropping images and forgetting to resize. WARNING Always make sure the original photos are backed up. Mistakes can be very annoying (or worse). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
