Two ways to include uploaded photos in posts

[hilltop170]

This is a test post to see what the difference is in clicking or not clicking the "Place inline" button when uploading pictures and whether clicking it affects the ability to enlarge the picture. Bruce wanted to know and I learned something also.

If the file size is large enough to begin with, either way will allow the picture to be enlarged.

I have found that 900 pixels on the long side of the picture and about 225KB file size will enlarge to about full page width on this website with good resolution.

If the picture will not enlarge when you click on it, its file size is probably smaller than the display size to start with and no enlargement is available no matter whether you post with "Place inline" or not.

Been kicked around lately, Richard? Ina been beating up on you lately? Is that your blood on her shoes?

Clicking either one of them will render a full size view Richard. So that is not what is allowing that feature.

Folks, Richard and I are trying to figure out how his pictures have the full size feature when they are clicked and mine don't.

See this sample.

So Richard. How are you getting the photo in the post with the white border and the word attachment?

Note to board participants and moderators:
When experimenting with photo posting PLEASE use pictures of Airplanes or Pretty girls or even your dogs

Did I see that guy in the post office this morning?

Geez! Talk about hijacking a thread, here we were trying to do some real, serious, investigative reporting trying to figure out what is going on with posting pictures on this website, then you leave the forum for a few hours and no telling what you're going to find when you get back! Y'all were supposed to be looking at the panel anyway! No problem, I'll work your hijack into the thread to illustrate the points.

But just for the record, neither one of you guys is even close. First, those are MY shoes, the pilot is my nephew. Second, it doesn't have anything to do with Ina, she hasn't even seen it yet, and she'll really be surprised when she does. Look at the pictures below and see if you can see any red paint in there anywhere. The paint (stain, actually) on my shoes came from several places but most recently from the newly engineered and constructed self-launching, floating, floatplane dock/party barge at my cabin. Once launched, the wheel gear comes off by pulling a few pins and then it converts to the beach stand-off rigging where it is pinned to the shore anchors and back to the dock. It can be detached from shore and converted to party barge mode in about 2 minutes with no tools. Just add electric trolling motor, battery, deck chairs, people and beer. For you sharp-eyed folks, the ramp to shore has not been installed in the second picture.

Now, back to the thread:

First, I am by no means an expert on this, I just kept trying until I figured it out. Somebody else out there might have a better explanation. If so, share it with us.

Bruce, your picture enlarges just fine. The original must be a big enough file so that it can enlarge, and that can be adjusted on your camera before you take he picture. There are usually several different selections for picture size and quality. I usually set the camera for max resolution and size. Later at home, I edit the size and resolution down and save the edited picture to another location on my computer using the editing program that comes with the camera. Editing to 900 pixels on the long side and about 225KB file size allows the picture to enlarge to almost full page size on the forum and have good resolution.

To upload a picture, first "Disable BBCode". Click on "Upload attachment" and then "Browse" your files for the picture you want and double click on it. Click on "Add the file", click the cursor where you want the picture to be posted in the text of the post, click "Place inline", and the pictures will be located in the text of the post at the position where the cursor is. You can then keep writing and adding pictures as you go. When finished with your post, click "Submit".

Additional text can be added between the pictures if "Place inline" is used.

If you DO NOT click on "Place inline" after "Add the file", but just click "Submit" after you have uploaded all your pictures, there will be a background border around your pictures with the word "Attachments" in it. The pictures will all be located at the end of the post, not scattered out thru the post where you might want them. Either way, the pictures can be enlarged by clicking on the picture, but only if the original picture uploaded is itself larger than the displayed picture.

Bruce's mug shot definitely enlarges if clicked upon----------plumb scary

Thanks Richard. Your explanation of different ways to reduce photos is good. I personally am well versed how to do it as I've worked in the computer printing and graphics field since the fledgling days in the 80's.

What I couldn't figure out just how you got that feature of the photos enlarging. Because I always reduce my photos to the size I want which always fits the screen and the resolution of 72 DPI, they never had the feature.

I always place my photos in the text using the place image button thus I never saw the photo with the white border either.

For all of the folks out there who have no idea how to reduce a photo and don't want to fool with loading and learning software, I found a web sit that will do it for you for free. Just follow the prompts on the site. Here is the link:

Again the web service and site are FREE. They of course would like you to buy their software and put it on your computer which you don't have to do. So you DO NOT have to click the

to use the site.

And for those critics that want to see a fine aircraft picture, check this one out.

P.S. Because I know many of you will want to know, if you right click on the picture you can set it as your computer desktop background.
