It is likely due to the file size being too big. You need to resize the picture so that it is in the 600x800 range, which will give you a file size of about 40kb. Anything bigger, and the system won't take it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) extension is important. ".jpg" ... also, total filesize can not exceed 300k (which is HUGE for a jpg anyways, they should be more in the 20k-40k range). don't preview your posts. that should do it ...

what's the file size? what compression level did you use? how many dpi? all this will effect the file size. do the files have the .JPG extension? email the pictures to admin@914world.com and i will have a look at them ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |

I set my camera to a lower resoulution 640x480=not even an equal to a cheap 1 megipixle camera. But it loads the pic every time. A 3 to 5 megipixel camera would have way to many bites to send. If only hi res pics are availble then use photo suit software to compress the image or down size the area like 4x6in instead of 10x14..... the low res pic at 640x480 sample pic below. Do you like the yellow gas lines and the brass freon port on the manifold. I check my gas pressure with an old set of freon gauges.

Most likely you have dial-up....as of late I can only post about a 10-15K pic without getting a time out.
I have some good stuff, but I don't bother anymore. |

ok, he send me the pictures in an email and here's what i found,
everyone with similar problems, please read carefully: ============== snip snip snip =============== they're all way too big, filesize wise! between 400k and 500k each! the size limit for the BBS is 300k. as i said in my post, a usual JPG size is about 40k in size, yours are all 10 times bigger! you had the picture size at 1600 x 1200 ... i resized them to 640 x 480 @ 72 dpi and now the individual size is down to about 40k - 50k ... ============== snip snip snip =============== bottomline, resize your pictures correctly!

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
The main pic I was trying to post was a tad big...about 80K...400X600
I resize all my pics in photoshop, the pic lost all detail if I made the file size smaller. Doesn't matter...it was a couple of weeks ago and I forget what I was even trying to post. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Again my problem is a 30sec time-out error.... |

it shouldn't!!! if you use photoshop, make sure the original pic is *NOT* in 256 color mode (indexed color) !!! if so (like if your original was a GIF), you need to convert the image to RGB first (menu: image/mode/rgb color) *before* you resize it. 640 x 480 and 72 dpi should be <50k as a JPG with medium (5) compression ... if you want even less size, try to blur the image a bit before you save, that'll help the JPG algorythm to compress it more. in any case, you should not lose any significant detail in the picture ...
