Posting Pictures

Post by jf100 »

If I need to down load some pics of some of the work that I am doing to my truck so it might help some that is going through same thing that
I am or someone needs to see what I am talking about. Who do I have to go through to post my pics? Photo bucket does not have a good clear
image of what people are trying to show they all look blurry. Is there a Size limit on posting pics? Like how many mega pixels? or how many you can send at one time.

Here's how I do it to post in a thread:
http://fordification.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63154. You can only post 3 photos at a time in a thread. If you have more you have to add another post and you'll have to type something like "More pics" or it won't accept it.

To use an image hosting site:
http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... 16&t=22288

You can also start an album in the Photo Gallery and use links similar to using an image hosting site.

The biggest problem is the file size. It can't be more than 500kb. Today's phones take huge high resolution photos. You have to resize them down in a photo editor app or on your computer with MSPaint or Photoshop or something. From my phone, I have a lot of success by viewing the photo, taking a screenshot, cropping it and saving a copy to upload.

Be sure and keep copies saved on your computer hard drive! Image hosting sites are notorious for changing the rules (i.e. PhotoBucket scam!) and even Fordification has limits and has to delete older photos from the server.

All I can say is Keith must have a huge web hosting storage limit. I've upladed hundreds of photos to his server and the Photo Gallery contains thousands. Thanks, Keith!
