Sorry--I loves easy shots...

Are they already uploaded to your gallery here? If not--do that as it's much easier and allows bigger pics than simply posting from your hard drive. All you have to do is hit Upload, then browse--find the pic--open it--submit. Then to post, do

.

Well then you're a phucking moron.

ok--what can I say--another easy shot.

Hoe did you do the pics that are in there now?

Let's review.

1. Hit the little phucking camera over your name.
2. Hit Upload.
3. Hit Browse.
4. Go the file where you have the pic you want. Now--make sure it's not more than 250 thingies.
5. Tap the pic--in another words, chose it.
6. Hit Open.
7. Should be back at the Upload screen--hit Submit.
8. Wait a few moments.

did it work?

that it!! too many phucking thingies!!

so how do i reduce the thingies

Jamo · #10 (**permalink**) 01-20-2003, 12:17 AM

ok then!

Don't know what kind've photo program you got--but there's probably something under edit that allows you to make a duplicate of the pic (so you don't screw up your original). So--make a duplicate...

Now--when you make it, it should allow you to control the resolution--I usually go to 85%--still clear, but cuts down on the thingies. Also--try to make sure the pic is 600x480 or something like that. Bigger than that is bigger than you need here--and it cuts down on the thingies too.

Remember--duplicate first--the original you save may be your own.

Karl,

My photo program has a resize selection under the Edit button. If you just wnat to put a picture in a post I think they are about 4K limit.Pixels, Jamo's thingies can be reduced several ways but I normally take a BMP picture, change it to JPG which reduces the size a huge amount and then use the resizing tool to put it on a post if that is where I want it. Remember that 4K isn't a very large amount of pixels and if the picture is spread out or enlarged it will be fuzzy and grainy. I can't get one out of my gallery using Jammo's method either but I think I missed one of the brackets. Hope this will help along whith what Jamo has already told you.
