How to Post (Embed) Pics - Instructions

[Haplo]

You forgot rule #87: when posting pics, you must always include one of your wife or girlfriend, or both.

Question for the experts on posting pictures, when i go to 'manage attachments' and download a picture it reduces the size from the original. How do I prevent that. I'm using Firefox.

When you said "download a picture" did you really mean upload? If so, are you saying that you have a picture stored in your computer with a certain file size and when you upload such picture, the size is reduced?

This might be due to Firefox (although I am really not sure) as I use Google Chrome and Internet Explorer with no issues at all. See pics below. The sizes were INTENTIONAL (same exact pic, but one was reduced) to prove that you are in control of what you upload (at least when using Chrome or IE).

Good luck!

If I remember correctly, only logged in users can actually see the pictures that are uploaded as attachments, vs images linked from other sharing sites like imageshack.

When I go to "manage attachements" the max size for jpeg's is 19.5KB. Is that normal?

[trigger945]

^^^ Not normal. I was able to upload files over 19.5 KB. The only limit I have seen with uploads is the number of attachments per post, which is 5 attachments.

The files that I uploaded in earlier posts are over 19.5 KB.

[waho]

The original size is 1.2MB, after uploading it's 17.9KB.
