How do you submit a photo?

[tom hyle]

I know nothing of photography or computers, but if you check the second "sticky" thread down on this forum, the one about forum rules/guidelines/etc. you'll find some directions that may help you.

Welcome to the forum.

As Tom indicated in your other thread, try reading the thread stuck to the top of the forum that says: "PLEASE READ".

DIRECT IMAGE UPLOADING from your computer to the server is now available in the form of ‘attachments’. The pictures will not show when you are composing your posts, but may be checked in the preview mode, where they show at the bottom of the post. You may include up to 10 images per post. You are encouraged to use this mechanism in order to maximize the archival integrity of the forum.

Images which may be uploaded to the server include .jpeg (or .jpg), .png, .gif and .bmp. The width of the image must be 640 pixels or less in width and 1280 pixels or less in height or the image will be rejected. A maximum file size constraint of 200 kb is also in effect. If you do not have means to resize images within these constraints, you may e-mail them to ljones@vikingsword.com. The resized images will be returned in due course by e-mail for you to use in your posting.

The old image tags as used to link to images in the UBB software are still supported for images you maintain on your own software.

Is this a digital image or a paper photo?

This would be a digital photo. If you only have a paper photo, you would need to scan it and save as an electronic file.

In the event you cannot scan it, I do not know if paper photos are accepted (you would have to mail it to a moderator to be scanned and posted).

Would it be possible to show some screens on the forum, to make sure that newcomers understand the whole thing?

Here comes the cavalry with help

1. Make a picture. To be honest it's not so easy, and probably it's the hardest of the steps.

2. If you have digital camera there's no problem to download a picture on your local hard disc, if it's a paper, scan it.

3. Make sure your picture's resolution isn't bigger then 800x600 pixels, and the size isn't bigger then 200kb (1/5 of MB) . If it is, especially after downloading it from digital camera or after scanning, you need to resize it. Make a copy of a picture, if you don't want to loose or destroy it. Then use any graphic program: photoshop, ACDSee, or free one like Gimp or InfraView. Every one should have somewhere the option that let you resize the picture (sometimes it's called "picture size", "resize", etc.). If you can't do it, send an email to forum staff, for example: to Andrew or Rick, with description.

4. If you have a picture resized, just start the thread or quote someone, or just post reply - you can do it already . Then you'll see a window:



5. Scroll down and choose Manage Attachments:



6. You'll see next window, where you can browse your hard disc, find a picture (s) and choose UPLOAD (My windows is in Polish version, so instead "Przegladaj" you will see "Browse" probably ):



7. When the picture is accepted, you'll see listed it below the browse windows, if it's not (because of size, or wrong extension) you'll see information above the browse windows.

8. Close the window and Submit Reply. Have a fun!

Regards!
