Loading pics in the gun forums?

Leejack · June 3, 2008, 07:38 AM

Is there a place where you store pics to upload them in the forums?

I've tried to upload from the my pictures folder in windows XP, but it keeps telling me that my jpeg files are too big?

Any "how to" instructions?

Thanks,

Donald

I upload mine to imageshack.com and it will supply a link to the picture and then post the link here with the "insert image" tool supplied above. There are many free image storage sites.

Photobucket.com works well and is easy to use.

Yep, my pc tells me the same thing. What I do is this, open the picture from it's own file, and you will find the tab that states resize photo. I make mine 1000 pixals and it auto maticly fills in the bottom figure and when you go to close the picture it will ask if you want to save it and click yes. The program will save the photo and even give a number so you know which photo has been resized. This will work with Dell Image Studio. Hope it helps

Go down to the Conferece Center and into Suggestions, Questions and Tech Support. There's a multitute of similar posts there.
I agree that imageshack.com or photobucket.com are the way to go.
