ADDING ATTACHMENTS TO YOUR POSTS

[WALT]

After an hour of trying to attach a sketch and photo to my post, I admit defeat. I read the FAQ, trying PIXresizer and still no luck.
Would one of your computer savvy folks walk me through it.

I think that I'm a pretty good tractor operator, but know that I am a pretty stupid computer operator.

Thanks:
WALT

You write your Post, and after you hit continue, you use the Browse... button to locate your image from your hard drive. Then hit the Post This Message button.

Make sure your image you wish to upload is 100,000 bytes or smaller. I believe also, the file type needs to be .GIF or .JPG

What size is your photo. It needs to be under 100k or smaller to be loaded as an attachment. I try to stay below 95K
Not all extensions can be downloaded. jpeg, jpg, bmp, Gif, and pdf are the most common.
Have you tried to load it on TBN PHOTOS. Larger sized photos can be loaded there.
I have sent you a PM.

Walt there is nothing wrong with your pictures that I can see.
Attached is your picture.

Here is your drawing.

Here is a example of how I loaded your pictures. I did a screen capture of the first page of a post.
Be sure to click the "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file" box before click continue box.

This page is where the attachment is loaded. Make sure that the attachment is the picture and not a shortcut.

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP you can right click in the file window. When the window shows up, put your cursor on view. Then left click on thumbnails. This will give you a small picture of all the image files in that directory. When you find the picture you want to load left click on it. This will load it in to the TBN attachment box. Then left click on the "post this message!" box. This should load you picture as an attachment in a post.
If you have any questions please ask.

I think you can post wav files too, providing they are small enough.




TEST... It works! Cool! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Ron:

I was able to post some photos this A.M. I did have to resize them in paint before posting. Thanks again for your assistance.
