Thanks for showing off my bike guys.

OK, here's three versions of the same pic, a 4 meg original, all sized by Picture Resizer, as small, medium and large. Pic resize adds itself to the right click menu- select the file, right click, select pic resize, pick your size, done. It makes a copy of the file with (small) (medium) or (large) added to the filename. Will let you do custom sizes if you want, but has the three defaults for 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 desktop screens, and a 240x320 handheld. screen.

Small (53.7 KB):

Thats a pretty neat setup Dellphinus.

Err . . . they all look the same size to me. Am I missing something here?

BluesDawg

Did you click on the images? I see three different sizes.

DnvrFox

But the point is how they display without clicking on anything - at least that was MY point.

But, actually, who really cares?

whatever

Harsh words.

I wouldn't take that kind of crap off of anyone, myself.

Okay...I haven't used Photobucket, but here goes. I'm not trying to hijack the thread, just test out what I'm learning:




Holy crap...that worked...and again, I've learned something new. I hated the whole resizing deal, so for me Photobucket is the answer.

Thanks again from an old dog who likes to learn new tricks!

You can change the size of how it is rendered in Photobucket. Here is how:

Near the "upload images and videos" button, there is a more options link. Click on that and select the size you'd like.

Or, if you've already downloaded the picture and you'd like to make it smaller, just hit "edit" and "resize" on the drop down menu. You can always make pix smaller, but once made smaller, you can't make them larger.

Have fun.

I also use photobucket. It's not as easy as some paid programs to use, but it is free and it will resize photos specifically for posting. Just open an account and follow their directions.

Beautiful bike Chasmm. I'v liked red and black every since my dad had a 57 Ford in those colors. Here is a pic of the last "bike" I had in red/black.

D'ja notice the red end-caps on the skewers? Nice touch!

(What do people do who don't have kids or grand kids?)

Unfortunately my grand daughter is only 2. So no help there. Daughters are too busy, so pretty much on my own. Although it was my reading the 55+ forum where I did learn to post pics here. And had to learn to resize, as large file photos take too long for me to upload with DSL service.

Thanks for the comments guys...Those skewers are these: https://www.bicyclebuys.com/bikeparts/Hubs/0509515PART

I crashed on a wet road back in May, and scrubbed the QR side of the original Spinergy rear skewer pretty badly. When I went to the LBS to get a replacement, I found these. They included front and rear and thus were about double the price as one Spinergy replacement, but they're half the weight. (55 grams per pair for the Spin Stix vs. 112 for the Spinergy pair) I'm not a weight weenie, but I did like the red skewers, so the reduced weight was a bonus!

Hey Jiffy...that's a nice red/black bike also!

And while we're learning some stuff, why did my picture post as a picture from Photobucket, while Jiffy's pic shows as a link to Photobucket? Anyone? Buehler?

Jiffyjam

I pasted the link you see, the pic is over 2 megs in size so it would not post here as a pic . Also I put in the Direct Link vs the IMG code. Someone wrote that the IMG code will let you post the pic directly.

TOO funny, I love it!

Nice Roubaix! And Oh, by the way, since the WL hasn't posted it first...garage door needs a coat of paint...less riding, more home time on chores

OK, after going thru the extra steps of uploading to Photobucket, and then linking to the photos their rather than just uploading from my harddrive:

small:


medium:


Large:


Original:


BTW, these are Root River Trail pics.
Not sure which is better- if you link to photos on an external site, and something happens to them there, then the photos are gone from BF. If you upload to BF, then it's eating their BFs storage capacity ( I think). Personally, I like small photos that you click on for higher res versions.

RG: be glad to set you up with Pic Resize, Irfanview, whatever, or provide detailed instructions/phone support/whatever. I'm over your way quite a bit. Your call...

DnvrFox

Looks to me like large and medium are the same size! Are my eyes going bad?

I upload to my own web site, where I control the pics and the web site. Learned the hard way when I used to upload to AOL and then they closed everything down!! Sometimes I upload to BFN, but on several "upgrades" they have lost a bunch of pictures.

Dellphinus

The med and large are actually different sizes, don't know why BF displays them as the same size.
