i think it supposed to show up in your member info area and not in the msgs...god that would take way too much time to load and way to much space if we all started posting images with the msgs...although i would like it

I tried 3 times to load a picture yesterday. Then I read the e-mail Steve sent and it said they were not allowing the little pictures on each post. I guess if I had read the instructions I wouldn t have wasted the 3 post.[:o]

Only e-mail I got was the one thanking me for joining, and telling me to us my e-mail as the password. Did I not get the other? If so can you forward it to me?

I tried to upload a pic too, but kept getting a message that said the page couldn t be found. However, when I just looked for it in my files, it popped right up. ( a little play on words there)

I think that it gets displayed at 290 pixels. I could not load ours until I resized it to a 290 pixel width.

Mine came out real small, and I don t know how to fix it. I tried to do our club logo off the computer, but won t let me do it. Keeps coming up with message " error saving to disk. Guess I ll just draw a lil picture of me on the computer screen and imagine. Do crayons work?

Tried to upload picture from my desk top and kept getting Page can not be displayed.

[Surfcal]

Make sure the file type is within their requirements. Also, make sure the file size is small enough, otherwise if it s too big, it won t upload. I had to try a couple of time before it worked.

[kathybrj]

If your pic is more than 290x290 Max 200. kb, you ll get a message that says page not found or error. You would need to resize your pic at that point

[rednekrubbrduck]

I ve tried everything with no luck. If y all want to see my pics...you re just gonna have to click on the links. [:D] Sorry...no " special pics" . DW put her foot down. hehe. [8D]

I finally figured the pic thing out. I tried for about a hour last night and finally gave up[:@]. It took me all of 10 mins today once I realized how to do it. I just had to go resize my pic and it went in just fine[:)].

[greyhounds4me]

MtnCamper
I put a picture in my profile. It was very picky about the size though and I had to make sure it was small enough before it would accept it. I love putting faces with names so more of you need to post your pictures!

[wiininkwe]

wiininkwe
Why does everyone keep saying that you have to resize your pic, but no one says how to do that?????

Last night, I tried for over an hour to get it to work, but no luck

I was trying to use my picture in Tripod, and then Webshots,

But I should have been trying to download it direct from my hard drive.

not from a web page.

Be careful, it cannot be in a directory that has spaces in the file name,

Such as “My Documents” or “My Pictures”.



As for re-sizing the photo, I had a difficult time with this also.

After trying a few different programs on my computer,

I finally used Microsoft photo Editor, which comes as part of Microsoft Office.

I opened the picture, and clicked on the drop down menu IMAGE, and then on RESIZE.

Change the units to Pixels, and then the size to 290.

If your picture is rectangular, not square, then the picture will get distorted, as PUT makes it square.

To solve this, when I changed the pixel size to 290, I only changed the smaller number to 290.

I then clicked on O.K. to close the resizing box, and then went back up to IMAGE and then to CROP.

In this box, I had to work out how much of the bigger number of pixels I had to reduce to get to 290.

Mine was originally 442, so I cropped 100 pixels from one side and 52 from the other.

I then clicked on O.K., and saved the picture to a directory in my C drive that had no spaces in it C:Kevinphoto.JPG





ARGGGHHHH

It still doesn t work.

I thought it did, but it was just going to my hard drive to get the photo each time.



O.K. finally got it to work.

turns out I was not downloading the image correctly.

You have to click on the words " upload my picture (will replace the existing one).

You will have to resize the picture in a photo-editing program. Then you can upload the picture. Be sure that it is no more than 290 pixels in any direction. Ours is 290 wide, but only 180 high.

Thanks Marcy, for the help. I m hoping that the pic will show in my profile now, if it doesn t, I ll go back and start all over.

.

That is an option of the system, but for now we have it turned off. Again, it may be an item for a poll.



A lot of people use dial up and pictures in every post would both slow down your loads as well as increase web hosting costs for PUT.
