Super28 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Ok, been downloading pictures just fine, but, I had to install Windows 10 and now I can't download now. Anybody know why? I'm old and computer dumb. All help would be appreciated!
Casey Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Download from the forum to your device, or upload from your device to the forum?
MrObsessive Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Which browser are you using? IE (Internet Explorer) doesn't seem IMO to play as nice as FireFox. And don't get me started on Chrome..........I don't care for that one at all! Make sure you're signed in also. That may help with the download/upload issue.
Super28 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 I've got Chrome! This is not a good thing huh? Also from my computer to forum *help*

Terry for some reason after an update of windows 10 I have had a hard time uploading photos. Not that I do post photos much but they are in a different place as thy were before. and Yes I am not very computer literate at all. Not sure what the problem is though.
R.D.F. Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I have Chrome and Windows 10. All pictures that I copy from web sites or are downloaded from my camera go into Cloud onedrive. I move them over to my pictures and then use "choose files" at bottom of reply screen. Hope this helps. Edited January 14, 2019 by R.D.F.

Are you uploading images directly from your phone, laptop, tablet, or some other device? Linking to an online image hosting service like Photobucket fotki, etc? I use Chrome on both my phone and laptop, and upload images from them to the forum without any issues. Same with images I have stored in my Photobucket account. I just copy the direct link to the image, and post it in the reply box here, and it automatically appears.
Casey Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I click on the underlined "choose files", then select the images I want to upload to the forum: How are you trying to upload images now that isn't working for you?
Super28 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 What I do is download them from my phone to computer, click on them to "make copy" , paste that to desktop. I've tried both, 1) To 'Drag and Drop. 2) to download them using the underlined "choose files". neither one will work. Before Windows ten and chrome , I use to just use "Choose Files" with no problem
Super28 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 Oops................ Found out the problem! It's that I'm dumb as a bag of rocks! Just needed to "resize". My bad Thanks to everyone for the help (I'm just old is all)

GerN Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 If you have existing photos too large to copy to the forum, you can use GIMP 2 to shrink the pixel count. Open the too-large photo in GIMP, then use Export As (under File) and set the export percentage at a low enough value (30 shrinks a 4 MB file to about 200 KB) and export to a new, shrunken, forum-ready file.

Thanks. I'll save that!
Dave Ambrose Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Irfanview will reduce images too, and it's a good bit easier to use than GIMP.
