Title: Testing PDF Upload
Post by: Donald Duck on January 05, 2008, 02:37:25 PM
Just testing if a PDF file can be uploaded.
The beauty of this type of file, is that firstly it will save Michael lots of bandwidth, and secondly it's a great way of sharing photo's.

The first one posted is of course for the ladies........

Hi Kenny

Another way to save Space :

Upload a picture ie to Photobucket then get code there and enter code here

Other Boards dont provide space for pics since it becomes costly, this way precious space is saved for "our board"

Example:

To be serious now.......
We need to post a few pointers on how to post photo's and the best way to go about it.
I would hate for the bitch slappers to get around to me as some of them are already mumbling and groaning about their lack of knowledge in regards to posting pics......

point away, please I welcome any advice you have to improve my skill regarding picture posting.

At present I resize my pictures using Paint, I'm sure there is another way.

Hi Barbara

We can discuss that on skype

In General. Free programms are available in the net. A simple but effective one is " Picasa "

You can adjust brightness, contrast, sharpen, some other features are included.
Resizing to i.e. 650 pixel widht is no problem

650 Pixel is used normally as standard in order to decrease loading times for users without broadband.

@ Michael: If needed i would make an instruction site for that programm ( but i have it in german only )
If anyone has the english version, please send it to me.

Also an instruction for loading pics to Photobucket and how to post them in the forum

Let me know Mike how you feel about it.

Guys... go for it... I actually have a small program that works with XP, you just right click any picture and it resizes, no opening of any apps!

I'll try post the program sometime...

Sounds good. On the other hand, Picasa is available under google.com. No costs no problems.

Will be great to get some new info on picture posting. 

Did download the program that was suggested by the Boss - works ok, but sometimes it still does'nt fit the allowed  KB allocated and it rejects the post.

(Ok, I know I'm blond, but somebody has to be able to take the blame for what goes wrong in the world  -  you can't blame the government for everything that goes wrong!)

I have spend many hours much to the annoyance of the other people in the house fixated with the recommended Picasso programme, I have printed some very arty pictures as a result of the manipulation allowed. 
Will do a test here to see if the pictures are allowed.
