posting attachments (digital pics)

Why is everyone so concerned over the size of Dass' picture? The fact that it has processed and the Attachment link is there tells you that the server found the filesize to be less than the limit.

Why it has uploaded and has a file size of 0 bytes is a whole 'nother issue. Not sure what causes this. Could it be that you (Dass) just renamed a file with a .JPG extension (which does not make it a .JPG photo)?

Muhammad, what happens when a non-image file is uploaded?

Good catch Gatorboy - whatever that file is, it's less than 100K or the file name wouldn't be there.....

Attached is a .txt file.... it it takes it

Hmmm..
TBN doesn't mind .txt files at all.....

OK, Dass, let's start over...

You have the file from your camera. What is the file extension as it comes off the camera? .jpg .tif .bmp .???

Then are you using some program to save it as a .jpg? If so, what program?

Then, after it is a .jpg you check the size of the file. What size is it?

If it is under 100K in size, you attempt post it here.

Something is coming across to TBN, but there doesn't appear to be any size to it, and one of the attachments appears to have a .ZIP extension.

So, let's try it again /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

1. Take the photo file from your camera and get it on your PC.

2. Use some photo editing software that probably came with your camera to save it as a file like 'test.jpg' using the 'File, Save As" functions of the photo editing software.

3. Find the properties of 'test.jpg' and see if it is under 100K. If it is, post it here. If it is not, you will have to use the photo editing software to make it smaller.

4. Once you have it as test.jpg and it is under 100K in size, come back and make a reply to your first message.

5. Then, like Bird posted:
Type your message, then look below the dialogue box (just above the "Continue" button) and be sure you have a check mark in the "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file", then click on the "Continue" button. That will bring up a screen with ( You may attach a file if you like (no bigger than 100000 bytes please) ) just above the "Continue" button. Click on "Browse" at the end of that box. That will show a directory for your computer; find the file name for your photo and open it. It will appear in that box, click "Continue" and you're done.

Hope this helps /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Because we asked what the file size is and we would like an answer. It might be a zero length file, which would indicate another problem. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've tried all the above soooo......

 

[dass]

The size of the last attachment is 510 bytes in compressed (zipped) file. It's the only way I can send a pic . dass

 

[Gatorboy]

The zipped file contains a shortcut link to a picture on your PC. Not much good to us here on the web.

You need to upload the actual .JPG file that came from your camera.

 

[dass]

I thought that would be the case. The smallest I can compress to is 1,017 bytes. Not many options on this machine.But my thanks to all of you that helped. dass

dass,

Here's a link to a freeware program to resize .jpg files. I don't have it (already have similar) but it very highly rated by NoNags and it's FREE. Give it a try. Nothing to loose.

Good luck.
