The Ford Barn

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?

JM 35 Sedan · 03-21-2016, 01:58 PM

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.

NSDWS · 03-21-2016, 03:04 PM

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.

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

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 · 03-21-2016, 05:20 PM

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

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

VeryTangled · 03-21-2016, 07:08 PM

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!
