How to attach a pic to your post

[imported_admin]

To attach a pic to your post do the folowing

Step One
Click on the Browse button in the Attach section below the Message window
http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/uploads/howtoupload1.jpg

Step Two
A window will appear as shown in this example
http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/uploads/howtoupload2.jpg

Click on the drop down selection where it says HTML files and select All files as shown
http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/uploads/howtoupload3.jpg
This will show all the files on your computer instead of just the HTML files.
Go to the folder/directory where your picture is located and click on the file. Then click on the Open button

The window will close and you will see the location of the pic in the Attach section as shown in this example
http://www.ausfish.com.au/chat/uploads/howtoupload4.jpg

The pic must be in either .gif or .jpg format and under 100 KB in size.

All you need to do now is type in some text in the message window explaining what the pic is of, where it was caught, method used, etc, etc.

For information on scanning your pics for attaching on the boards have a look at

mmmm steve can i add more then one pick to a post or do i need to do a reply and put them in separate posts..

At this stage you can only ad one pic/file per post. Just do a reply to your original post to ad more pics.

If you have some graphics software you coould have the two or more pics in one post by making them one file. As MaxG did in this post in the fly fishing section.

No problem with giving you a hand just yell out if you need any more help.

Don't think your a dummy just because you may not know something, as I always say, there is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb answers from experts.

I've been playing around with the net for nearly 10 years and I still learn something new every day.

I don't know much about scaning photo's but I've got the files and they are over 100kb how do you make them smaller ???

[GTO]

Try saving as gif file or decreasing dimensions of the picture.

hey steve

i posted a pic and it said it was already on the server!

i did try earlier in the week to post some pics but i can seem to find them.

Any ideas?

[imported_admin]

Hi

You will get that message if someone has already uploaded a pic with the same file name. Just rename the file on your computer and try again.

Had a look at your previous posts and no pics attached to them.

G'day Steve,

Why does my computer not always open pictures/photo's. On most ocassions all I get is a white box with a red x in it. If I right click on the box and check 'show picture' it will only sometimes open, but mostly just show the box again. :-/

Would this be something to do with my computer or internet settings? [smiley=help.gif]
This is very frustrating not being able to see the photos that others can see. [smiley=angryfire.gif] [smiley=bigcry.gif]

Hope you can [smiley=helpa.gif]..........

Would most likely to be with ypour ISP and speed you connect to the Internet. Does it happen on other sites ?

[skippa]

Yep, it does Steve. Have 56k external modem. Some pictures that wouldn't open this morning, now open fine, but still not all will open.

Cheers,

Would check your Internet settings, proxy settings, etc. Go to your ISP's home page and check them there, they should have a few pages on how to set stuff like that up.

Sounds like a time out error, either your ISP or your connection.

You can try to force the page to reload and therefore forcing it to grab the images. While holding down the Shift key, click on Refresh.

Thanks Steve,

I'll give it a go

I can't seem to attach my pic.

I click the browse but don't get a window as shown.

Any advice?

Christine

Can you explain to me in a bit more detail what happens, if anything, when you click on the browse button.

What operating system are you using, Windows 98, XP, 2000, Mac, etc.

What browser and version are you using, IE, Netscape, etc.

Any ideas on reducing jpg. file size on a mac?
Not good with computers,fishing slightly better.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, not much help with MAC's

It would be a matter of tracking down software like Photoshop, etc that is MAC compatable.

Have a look at Adobe's website, they have a trial version of Photoshop Elements for MAC there http://adobe.com.au/products/photoshopel/main.html
