I really like the layout and members of this forum but it's too much of a hassle to post pics tbh. It wouldn't be that big of a deal but a site like this thrives on pictures. If there was more traffic here it would be worth spending 2 hours to upload a handful and get them posted but there's not. I'll still come back and check out the progress of some of you guys' stuff but I'm gonna post my build on another site .

There are plenty of forums that resize a pic to the required size automatically too. Jeepforum and Pirate 4x4 are the first that come to mind. I can't count how many times I've seen a member complaining about the inability to post pictures and it's frustrating as hell. I can only imagine how many people said **** it and left. I've wanted to a number of times but stuck with it just because of the quality and know how of the members.

Fix it admins, and I'd bet you'd see more traffic.

I have to agree with this. After 4 attempts at trying to update my build thread and getting the pic size error even after making the pics smaller I gave up. Haven't tried to upload anything since. I've been a member on numerous other forums with no issues uploading pics.

I use photobucket.com and its free, and when I take pics on my phone I can send my pics directly to photobucket.com using the app on my phone. Its not really that hard, I understand that it wouldn't be hard to get the site to reduce the image size but I don't mind it.

I scrolled through my photobucket library the other day and found tons of pics from my old builds, its a great way to track your progress overall and not on just one project.

Let me see what I can do and what the options available are. If you are having issues, please just PM me, I will try and take care of it.

I use Photobucket. I didn't have a problem with my old phone but it seems no matter what I do to the pics taken on my current phone with a better camera it gives me an error when trying to post.

It is probably the resolution that your phone is taking the pictures at. My phone has a 12 mp camera so I just resize them on photobuckets editor. It just takes a second. But it looks like Jim is on the situation.

Testing uploading pictures



The above is a picture that is 7.5 megs in size. Not sure how large the picture that everyone is trying to upload is but 7.5 megs is quite a large file.

Thanks Rich! :beer:

There you go guys, problem solved. In the beginning when we started the site these options were not really available. I have no problem readdressing them as they come up. All I ask is that you send me or a mod a message and we will take care of it the best we can. We don't get into all the threads so we miss things as they come up.

Just saw this reply today and was pleasantly surprised. Didn't think anything would change tbh. Well done mods. So can we post pics and they'll be resized automatically?

Wish I hadn't deleted the others now #-o

I'll post them up again and will have new progress included. Should be only wiring and lights after this weekend

They will be resized to fit the dimensions not the actual size of the file and if you click on one that has been resized, the image will appear in a popup layer. EG, click on the pic I posted above.

That is nice, you can even click to zoom in. I have never seen a black squirrel btw.

Delta Fox Squirrels come in Black and Red phases down here, along with the Grey Squirrels.

As my daughter would say... "How cute. You got a pic of them taking a nap." :LOL2:

+1 on the never seen a black squirrel. They look like bushy tailed kittens :mrgreen:

Okay, just tried to post an update and got the "pictures can't be larger than 800 pixels" nonsense. I double spaced the lines between each image and between uploading them to photobucket it probably took 45 minutes to post. In the post that was rejected the image id even has 749 in the code lol.

Thought this was fixed?

Or am I doing something wrong?

 

[Alphawolf]

Got a link to the pic where I can test?

 

[Abraham]

Edit: Now it works lol. The pics I tried to post were months old so maybe that had something to do with it?

These are the new one's from today.

Edit: Now it says it's too large lol. Trying again...

Thats what she said.....never mind she never said that. :shock:

I get that message too, but I just hit submit until it loads.

 

[Abraham]

I can resubmit the post and the number of red messages will subtract but when there is only one left it starts over :evil:
