My image gallery

I have tried to put an image in the gallery many times. I don't know if it is because I am just plain thick, or is there a secret password or spell that has to be intoned?

I need to honour you all by showing you a piccy of good self and if you behave yourselves, also of my novia (and my cat called colin)

Would some kind soul let me into the secret, Would a bribe help?

Please!

There is no secrets .... but ... you could try and reduce the
Size of one of them to see if it helps.

640x480 is a good place to start

(usually called transforming ... at least it is in GIMP.org ... free and very able program for manipulation of pictures runs on both windows and linux).

What's actual size of the pictures in general ??

king james... probably somewhere between 'just plain thick' and 'top secret'.

so many complain of this problem, all i can say is good luck. look forward to seeing your picture posts to give a face/family to you and your sharings.

peace,

dw

guys Thanks for the assistance/encouragement, I have tried a few times more but the immage of the novia must be to much for the systam

Not much into things photographic from the technical side but I think they are quite big, megapixelwise?

Thanks anyway.

James, you can upload the pic to your own FTP space.... Most ISPs provide some sort of FTP space. So if you were using Comcast Internet, yours would be:
http://home.comcast.net/~jamesvh/mypic.jpg

Or if you were using AOL, it would be;
http://members.aol.com/jamesvh/mypic.jpg

Then just tag the image, and we all can see it. The file name should all be lower case.

The image can be made small with Paint (Reduce its size); when its 20-50k it should work anywhere. (for the benefit of dial-up folk)

Lionheart You delete the photo by left clicking on it once, then clicking on the edit tab at the top, then at the bottom of the edit page click delete and voila!

duh ... I knew that put it into the category of not enough caffeine ...

As for pic size, there are plenty of free tools available to reduce a scanned pic to a size that should be accepted here.
