Re: Posting pictures
Sure wish that worked for me. Seems simple enough. It keeps telling me something about a 'Security Token'.

Re: Posting pictures
One big thing is to down size the pics to meet acceptable parameters

Re: Posting pictures
This is the best explanation I have seen. tps://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301908 As Oldbluoval says, be sure to downsize your photos--make them 600 x 800 pixels, and your difficulties are 90% solved.

How do you downsize? Currently I am taking pictures with my Iphone and then emailing them to my work computer. It doesn't have an option to downsize unless I'm overlooking it. |

Re: Posting pictures
I think I got it. You need to use the Pixlr Photo Editor.

Re: Posting pictures
ETAModel, I’ve had the “upload file failure” message too. I think it’s because the file is too big. I installed the Compress app. I’m no computer wizzard, but it’s pretty straightforward and easy to use. It usually lets the photo upload. Not that I post lots of pictures here, but it’s always worked.

Re: Posting pictures
In ordinary Windows 10, look at a page of photo thumbnails, hi-lite the one you want, rc and choose 'open with'. Select paint, and the fuzzy photo occupies the whole page with a vast task bar / tool bar at the top. Near the left end choose resize. In the next window select pixels, and enter 600 x 800. The photo magically shrinks with new clarity, select save and you're done. To avoid losing a photo in this process, I first copy and paste the photo beside itself. You end up with two copies of the same pic, one labeled copy. After resizing you know that the copy is suitable for posting on FB or other forums.

Re: Posting pictures

Hey Guys ....I normally hang-out over on the "V8" side of the 'Barn. This picture posting THING has really been a thorn in the sides of a "FEW" over here, too. Several times, I have attempted to put-together a tutorial of sorts, and have actually had SOME positive results from a few posters. BELOW is a 'cut & paste' of my latest tutorial. I couldn't live here without posting pictures. This is lengthy, but paying attention to ALL of the details should net you good results. PLEASE click the link BELOW!

Re: Posting pictures
Nice tutorial V8Coopman. I use a couple of ways to post pictures on Ford Barn
The easiest (for me) is to use Flickr and copy & Paste the BBCode. If the file is small enough I will use the "Manage Attachments" on Ford Barn. |

Re: Posting pictures
What hardware and software are you using? Knowing that would make the answer much easier. I use an iPhone or Canon DSLR, Mac desktop and "Photos" software.

Bill ....I can certainly relate to your problem. Remember that you can always save ALMOST any picture to "MY PICTURES" on your PC. Using my process involving the use of the PAPER CLIP icon ( ), it's possible to store about any pictures you want in "MY PICTURES" on your PC, and then post any of those pictures here on the 'Barn directly from your PC. Am I missing something? I'd like to help! DD . |

Re: Posting pictures
You cannot reduce the pixels, you can reduce the pixel count by making the picture smaller or changing resolution.
On a windows machine, there are about 5 million picture editing softwares/APs etc. I have found simple freeware works wonders, choice for last 5 years is PAINT.NET Very basic and straight forward, cropping and reduction of pictures. Take your pick on file format, some are better than others if you are importing pictures to graphics programs or CAD. J
