Sharing photos as thumbnails..

[sidevalve8ba]

I have done the search thing to try and find out how some of you are able to share photos as thumbnails. I use Photobucket and whenever I use a photo from there it comes through full size. Do any of you know a way for me to use the thumbnail size photos with Photobucket or is that an impossibility?

I usually download thumbnail pictures from my computer files, or would that actually be considered an upload . Jeff, Very Tangled usually keeps me informed on which is which .
I find this is much easier and quicker for me than going to pics stored in Photo Bucket.

JM, I have tried that a number of times with no success. I will be the first to admit that I am not the most computer literate person out here by any stretch. I have no doubt that my 13 year old grand daughter could probably accomplish that in the blink of an eye but it's a different generation.

Ted I also upload direct from my computer and they come across as a thumbnail.

sidevalve, if they won't upload from your computer they are probably too big.

Are you using the paperclip attachment? Use the paperclip and browse to you pictures on your computer.

Have you tried to load using the 'Additional options' feature.
Just click on 'manage attachments' browse to select from computer then upload.
If the picture is too big it will let you know.

Okay, this is a test. I have attempted to upload two photos directily from my computer. I hope it works.

PS Thanks for the assistance. Could not have done it without you.

The only times that my pictures will not load from my computer properly is when they are sized too large. I don't recall the exact numbers that I resize to, but doing this by trial and error a few times, I find that if I resize them to fit the size of my computer or Tablet screens they will upload or download just fine on the Fordbarn's picture posting system.

PS.....I started this response about an hour ago, but got sidetracted a couple times and when I finaly hit the post button, several other folks had alread explained the procedure, probably way better than I could have done , so it looks like you gotter' going now .

By gosh I believe you've got it!

AHA! Thank you, Tony. That was the trick, using the paperclip. I've always wondered what the heck that was there for. I guess this old dog has learned a new trick!

This is good advice from 51 MERC-CT. I have enlarged his Thumbnails so that it is easier to see the procedure he describes.
When I select a Picture that I want to add to Ford Barn, I start off by attaching the picture in the correct size to an email. It will come up in the Attachment part of the email. From there, I reduce the size of the email, and drag the Photo of the email onto my Screen. I then delete this email without sending it. Then, when I follow the procedure that was given by 51 MERC-CT, the photo is in the correct size and I simply add it to "Browse", as shown above.

[Barry-ct]

I do it the way 51 merc and mercman from oz do it. So easy to do.

From your post, did you left click on your picture to enlarge it on screen?

That pickup is a beauty, I love that paint job, and it has the right engine. Walt

Hi Everyone, I've recently discovered that it doesn't matter how large the file size of the photo on your PC. When I upload them the forum software automatically resizes it, no muss, no fuss. These show up as thumbnails.

Mercman is the Boss for fixing thumbnails to full screen!

Glad you figured it out! Beautiful pickup!

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)

[mercman from oz]

Oldford2, That is one nice looking 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Fordor Sedan.

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

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.

[mercman from oz]

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!

[my4dv8]

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]

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

[JSeery]

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