embedding attachments?

Post by scruffies » Tue Feb 20, 2018 4:46 pm

So how are you posters doing that? My Sleepyhead screensaves are about 180Kb and the limit is 150Kb. Are you importing the SS into Paint, resizing down, then cut and paste, and then saving the smaller image?

When I hit "attachments" below the comments section it says "add details below", but there is only a " add files" button. I tried the "add image" button at the top and then tried to drag the SS, but same issue - too big.

What am I missing?

Windows Paint does not condense the photo, it can resize the photo but it may end up too small to read.
Search your computer for "Microsoft Office Picture Manger" Comes with MS Office.

You can still use imgur and put your files/images on there and link to them no matter the size.

Thanks for the response Pugsy and I have used imgur in prior posts, but I distinctly remember your understandable preference for seeing charts embedded rather than having to click on a link, and frankly I don't want to make the job of helping more difficult.

I am seeing many recent posts with embedded images so was hoping one of those posters would state how they did it. Once I figure it out I won't use links anymore.

You can embed from imgur just as easily as putting a link.
It's just a matter of which url address you use. You still have to copy an address..might as well copy the BBCode link and the image gets embedded.

Thanks Pugsy... I finally figured out what was going on. When I first used imgur a few week ago I had a problem trying to register so I just proceeded without having an account which worked fine for links only. Once I got an account setup today (I had to use a different login name and password, but no problem) I now see all the thumbnail and URL choices. I am all set, and thanks! :D
