StevenGuthmiller Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Most, if not all, of the large pictures you are seeing on the forum are posted via a photo hosting site such as Photobucket. There is a tutorial in the "How to Use this Board" section at the very top of the main page. I just started using it myself recently & it's not difficult once you get rolling.

Foxer Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I usually resize my photos to 800x600 and sometimes up to 1200x ... This is a good size to see everything and a good size for web use. They are all .jpeg files at about 90% compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I use photobucket. Never ever have to bother re-sizing anything. All automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Remember also, posting pictures directly from your computer will fill up your available "space" on this forum, meaning you'll have to delete items later on. If you post from some place like Photo bucket, your photos are actually a link & therefore take up no space. You'll never have to delete anything.

Cool Hand Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Re-sizing the pictures/images before uploading to Photobucket will reduce the upload time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Re-sizing the pictures/images before uploading to Photobucket will reduce the upload time. I can deal with the 2 seconds or so it takes to upload one photo. May be an issue with a slow internet connection, or a slower computer.

Cool Hand Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Thats all well and good if you only upload one at a time. But when im uploading 20 or more at one time, if I can reduce my upload time even if it is a few seconds then im all for re-sizing pics before upload. Just my personal preference.

slusher Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I use photobucket. Never ever have to bother re-sizing anything. All automatic. Same here Bill. I never have resized anything.. Thats all well and good if you only upload one at a time. But when im uploading 20 or more at one time, if I can reduce my upload time even if it is a few seconds them im all for re-sizing pics before upload. Just my personal preference. I do what ever I need but did 30 once in about 20 seconds or less but the best connection and computer still has to deal with the site and how busy it is...

Casey Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Now that I have your attention. What size to you resize pictures to for posting on the Forum so that they come out as a picture not a thumbnail sized picture? 850 pixels in width seems ideal for most forums, so that's what I use most often, like so: This forum will automatically re-size your images to fit if they are too large, too. For smaller, close up images, I find 650-500 is an ideal width., this one being 650p: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I use Fotki.com and they reduce the size of all your stored photos to fit within their sizing parameters. Those are just right for posting on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
