Hi All

All of us including me need to be sure to actually save the images to MLU not just links.


It is clear that part of the problem is that the hosting software gives us two options:

1. Click on the little Picture Icon (red circle) it gives only the option for link, which seems to cause the problem. Wrong Way

2. Click on the Paper Clip and you can actually load the image. Correct Way



If you are using the Edit Button to add a photo you have to take the extra step of Clicking on Go Addvanced to get the Paper Clip Icon to appear.

Cheers Phil

Update:

I have increased the maximum allowable size for .jpg and .jpeg attachments to 1.5 MB and 1600 pixels width.

The forum software will resize larger files to a certain extent. When you get an error message while uploading a picture, please resize and try again.

HTH,

Any way for the computer illiterate like myself to rotate photo's on MLU?

I have tried rotating the pic on my computer first, but still attaches longest dimension sideways.

...always goes upside down on MLU IF i download directly from the phone to the MLU.

Now I download to my 'puter first, edit with ACDsee, then post. The editing allows me to add text, crop the picture to only the relevant parts and resize plus a million other options I hardly ever use. The option for adjusting color. density. contrast etc comes in handy when you have a photo of a registration tag that can't be read because of shadows or reflection, or poor light conditions..... great for reading original census numbers on doors with many layers of paint..... you can sand some, photograph, sand more photo again etc then the total view will get you to make out even partial lettering.

Could not live without the digital camera.... of course I have a live in coach with my wife being an accomplished photographer. She photographs I just snap pictures.
