O.k I'll reset the computer and try again to post a pic?
Still to big everytime I down load a file It's too big
any body got any Ideas how to down size em In windows 98se
maybe It can't be done?

You need to reduce the files size with some type of photo editing software.

Right
 

I don't know when that'll happen I don't plan on getting another computer for afew years anyway..too bad you guys couldn't accept them In any size then you could down size em?just a thought

Getting around large files?
 

Joe Is there any way of me getting around those large files
for example what If a person was to email a pic to your email address
can it be transferred that way..or Is the thing to complicated?

What is anysize? How large is your photo?

There are dozens of free applications that will allow you to size your photo, or save them for web use.

size of photo?
 

My photo Is about four times too large according to the attachment reminder

what a real bicycle looks like?
 

I just wanted to post a pic of a real bicycle

Your attachment can be up to 100k in size. That is more then big enough for most images. Most attachments are in the 30k size. Yours is 400k?! Look at the forum logo, that is 5k in size... you really need to shrink that image

I sent you a email Joe
 

I sent you a emal threw yahoo..I enclosed the pic

You can use Paint Shop pro to edit it.. another free app is infranview http://www.irfanview.com it has a option to shrink your picture down to a specified size.

Joe has to limit the size of pic's can you imagine if he did not? Let's say it was 400k, so 5 pics posted a day not to heavy a load so that is 2 megs a day.. 14 megs a week.. 60 megs a month 700 megs a year and this forum has been around for quite a few years. And joe has to pay for the bandwidth (bigger pictures more bandwidth), more storage so higher cost and I believe I'm correct in saying Vbulletin (software that runs forums) stores pictures actualy in the database itself so that means alot larger database to deal with. So ALOT of drawbacks, and only saves us users a couple seconds to shrink down the pic or host it somewhere else. And keeps annoyance down for other uers, alot of people are still on dial up, do you know how long it takes to show a 400k pic on dialup?

Pic size 132352
 

Your max pic size Is 102400 so I blew your max by only 29952 that ain't too bad I figure I got It down a lot?My pic size Is 132352

Try to get it under 50k.

Kev, I know have the option to store attachments in a directory, not the database. I have not yet made the change, but plan on doing so soon.

would that accept my pic then?
 

The only way I could cut the pic down any more would be to stand back a bit more when i take the pic..but I can't cut down on the download any more with this computer?I sure didn't blow It by much did I?
according to what I idicated?

Email me the pix. I should be able to shrink it down for you. travis200@triathlete.com

I emailed It to you
 

post It on the forums...thankyou

Not sure where you want it but here it is

I just cropped some of the outside picture off leaving the bike untouched.

so was I far out?
 

Thanks for doing that..It would of been better If I could of done It I don't know what else I could do...Do you?Would they post If I had more distance from the bike..or Is it a differant Issue like resolution?I can't do any better

I used this free program to crop the picture http://www.irfanview.com/ plus it is a picture viewer also.

Well I want to hear from JOE first?
 

Maybe JOE is going to allow a bigger max..I think he indicated such.I got a feeling It's because I haven't donated yet..If that Is the problem then I want to hear It from Joe?

Nope, I have no plans on increasing the attachment size. 100K for images is more then enough space. Donating member or not.

I don't believe my pic was too big?
 

If Sherpa can fix them up then Joe could of also?I think the problem Is a donation
Isn't It?Cause Sherpa didn't cut into the bicycle itself when he sent It.I'm not that stupid I can clearly see the problem Is one of a donation right Joe?

Whats 132352?Is that a 100K or what
 

because thats how big the pic was when i scaled it down the most i could do? :eek:

That is closer to 129K in size. Still 30% larger then acceptable.

Honestly, your picture isnt of the best quality to start off with. There is NO quality loss for web viewing between 100k and 400k in size.

129k
 

Yup I checked It out It's 129K
Well I guess it's back to the drawing
board..My brother is a P.C. specialist
so he'll be coming home around xmas
so i'll check Into what i can do from here?
Thanks for allowing all the posts and such
We all live and learn,see ya later
