Are you talking about uploading to a post or to an album? Haven,t had
A problem yet, The only thing ive had to deal with is resizing the images
But i think thats standard on this site.

Bill,

I've had problems with ones I've directly attached, but seem to have no problems if I upload them to photobucket and then link the images.

 

I could never get photobucket to work for me. I use fotoflexer and had no trouble with getting pics to inlarge except for the last couple of days. I had to put them up one at a time, but they did inlarge. maybe its my computer. I dont know. alot of other people use photobucket, but it drove me nuts trying to get it to work!!!! I gave up on that along time ago!!!!! Ill give it a few more days and see what happens. if you look at the pic I put up of the flower you will see it gets smaller-- then go to another post of mine from a week ago and you will see i get a nice big pic. I didnt change anything on my comp. Ill see what happens in the next few days--thanks for your help--BILL

 

you know what guys!! I just looked at the picture I put up of my st. bernard with her new dress. lol. then I realized that I put it up a few days ago. maybe that is the problem?? let me change that pic. and see if the pictures inlarge. hate to do it because i love that pic. my best buddy in a dress!!!!!!!!! way too funny-- BILL

 

What are the properties of your flower picture on your computer? I mean size (KB's) and dimensions (px X px).

 

I am having the same problem doing a search for the next thread. It takes anywhere from 21 sec. to never. A little frustrating if you ask me. No other programs are effected.

 

Just tried uploading some photos to my album, It took forever not sure if
Its a network problem or what???

 

Has anyone bothered to read this; http://www.cointalk.com/t8565-2/#post66265

NOTE: "250KB bytes" means LESS THAN 250KB. If you try to post a picture larger than 250KB, this program automatically reduces it to a very small picture. If you reduce the original picture to less than 250KB, it retains its full size. The way around this is to post the picture on a 3rd site and post a link to the picture here.

 

Just FYI, here are two renditions of the same picture. The first original is 1500X720 px and 350 KB. The second original is 1000X480 and 170KB. When the pictures are loaded, the first becomes 4.4KB - too small to see anything. The second is 170KB and will enlarge to let you see everything.

If you cannot keep your pictures within the limits of the program, the program will do it for you.

 

I hope. I thought that maybe an example might convince some of them.

 

not to get anybody mad at me, but everything was fine with my pics till about 2 days ago. then all of a sudden they are small!! I DID NOT CHANGE A THING!!!!!! same camera--same way I have been putting them up for months now. to tell you the truth--i do not understand. SORRY what changed in the last few days that I cannot inlarge pictures?? not to be a edited, but something changed.. either my computer, which I didnt change anything, or the site. Thanks--BILL

 

That link I gave you was posted in 08-11-2005, 07:46 AM - 4 years ago. This site has not changed ever since.

I have no idea how different cameras work, but taking pictures of just Lincolns, I can end up with a picture between 80K and 130K depending only on which coin I picture. i.e. using the same camera, same lighting, same stand, same background. etc.

Regardless of what you think you are doing, if your picture is over 250KB, it will not work on this site. It is that simple. If you cannot learn to adjust the size, you had better learn to use photobucket or similar.

 

I'm wondering what's best for the speed of the forum?
Is it better to have the image loaded to CT or posted from Photobucket?

 

I have found loading images from the CT to be much faster and more reliable!! then
Photobucket!!

 

They should they are smaller so they will load quicker. The only problem I have seen with photobucket is when people delete or remove photos. Also on photobucket the pictures can be very large and make load slower for people not on something like cable modem or DSL.

To the original post - I don't do anything fancy. I upload, check the little box, generate html, cut and paste the links for thumbnails(not always) into a cointalk thread.

PS Doug I think you have mentioned it more than 6-8 times. I think I can recall 3 or more threads where you said "6-8 times".
