Swithin Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I seem to have lost the ability to post photos from my computer -- not from the Internet, which I can do fine. I started the "TCM Board Members Home Town Photos" thread a while back. Every time I try to post, no matter how I resize the photo, I get the message that it's too large. I pm'd the moderator for advice, but got no response. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Just had a thought, Swithin. When you say "post from your computer", are you attempting to post them as full photos, or as attachments to your post - as you would an email? I noticed in your "Hometown Photos" thread, your posting them as thumbnail attachments. There is a limit on these here. The limit is 3MB. You can post many small images, or a handful of large images, but the total bytes puts a cap on our posting. I started a thread on this many months ago (April 28, 2014 - nearly a full year ago) and it has never been addressed, so I just post web images, or my own which I have run through a web photo hosting site to obtain a postable URL. One other work-around you may wish to use; it involves deleting previous thumbnails to free up space for posting new thumbnails. This pretty much renders your earlier posts useless - that's why I don't use this method.

So as individual posters, we have a maximum allotment. Since I started the "... Home Town Photos" thread, it makes sense that I may have used up my maximum allotment, since the point of that thread was to post our own photos, we which took. I will start deleting former posts in that section, and see what happens. Thanks, Kid! Link to post Share on other sites

You can go to your name at the top of the page here, click it, select My Settings, select Manage Attachments in the left column. This will tell you how much you've used and how much you have left. Scroll down to see all of your posted attachments - you can delete them all from this page. Link to post Share on other sites

I had already deleted a lot, after your last post. Still a few more -- it's must easier to delete from the location that you pointed me to, rather than in each post. Thanks!

SansFin Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm having a problem figuring out how to post a picture. Sorry. I made a post describing the process visually on November 12, 2014. You will have to go back a page in this thread to find it. This is to upload images from your computer to TCM forum directly. I will be happy to answer any questions which you may have concerning the method. Link to post Share on other sites

SansFin Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hmm... Didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to. Should have been full size. It will at all times appear as thumbnail when the image is uploaded to the forum from your computer. It may be viewed in full size by clicking on that thumbnail. You must use a different image hosting site and post its url there for it to appear as full size in the forum. We mostly use imgur because it is free and easy to use.

AndyM108 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Is there a way to post a picture from one's Flickr page, or from a Word document file? Using the image tab doesn't seem to work in either of those cases. From my Flickr page, all I get is this when I paste the URL into the image box: A message reading "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." (BTW what does that message even mean? It's my own Flickr page, and the image is the farthest thing from "adult" in content.) And when I copy the image from my Word file, I get nothing when I try to paste it here. It seems I remember being able to do that a year or so ago, but not lately. Link to post Share on other sites
slaytonf Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 You can upload files from your computer using the attach files option: The image appears as a thumbnail on your post, which readers can click on. This appears when you make a reply. If you quote a post, you have to click on more reply options button to attach files: Seems a little confusing to me. Maybe they didn't realize the complexity when they redesigned the site. Can't tell you what to do about Flickr. Do your images have addresses? If so, see the first post in this thread. If not, you will have to upload them to a site like tinypic. Then you can insert them into your post with the Image icon. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Pierce Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I don't get it. I've been trying to post a customized photo from my iPhone,to be my profile picture. No matter what size I make it...it doesn't load. I'm guessing this is a format issue with the site and IOS? Link to post Share on other sites
