I find this is much easier and quicker for me than going to pics stored in Photo Bucket.

test. It works!! I always used Photobucket which is cumbersome.
Thanks to all. Now when I get home to my shop next month I will post pics of a new 8ba build. If I can light a fire on the machine shop to do the bore and tell me what size pistons to order (Merc crank going in)

Nice pickup. I'm glad you figured it out.

Mercman is the Boss for fixing thumbnails to full screen!

Jeff, if we are talking apples to apples here, what you are saying definately does not work the same for me when posting thumbnail pictures from my Samsung Tablet here to Fordbarn's system. I take high resolution/HD digital pictures using my Sony Cybershot camera, then download these to my PC and Tablet. If I attempt to upload these directly from my Tablet into Fordbarn's software for thumbnail picture posting, without resizing them first, they will definately not upload for me, UNLESS the FB forum software has changed in the last two days

As mentioned in my previous Post, I firstly add the selected picture/pictures to an email. On my Computer, I get to choose from 5 different sizes, namely:- (1) = Smaller 640 x 480 = 90kb. (2) = Small 800 x 600 = 140kb. (3) = Medium 1024 x 768 = 230 kb. (4) = Large 1280 x 1024 = 384kb. (5) = Original Size 2.96mb.
I always choose the Large, as I find that Original Size is just too big. When the Attachments for these photos appear in my new email, I simply shrink this email so that my Screen is visible, and drag each Attachment from my email to my Screen. I am now in business, as when I open the pages shown by 51 MERC-CT, I simply drag these pictures from my Screen and add to the respective columns. At this time, I simply delete this new email, as it has served its purpose well. There may be other ways of adding pictures, but this way works for me every time. That is why I am sticking with this procedure.

I forgot to add, that some of my Original Size Photos run at 6mb, which is way too big to add as Thumbnails. That is why I stick with "Large" and not "Original Size".

Thanks for the compliments.

Walt. I am glad to see you have your computer going again. Welcome back!

Ok ,I have put pictures on before but why when you go through the process and try to add a second picture the first drops off? The HAMB has the same process but you can load as many as you like there. Is it my ipad causing this?

Are you using the Manage Attachments function below or the Paper Clip above the box? After the first post you have to use the Manage Attchments function.

my4dv8 · 03-23-2016, 02:02 PM

I am using manage attachments for all pictures, just like the HAMB. I have never used that little paper clip.

JSeery · 03-23-2016, 02:17 PM

No idea then. I have never run into that problem.
