How do I post a picture? Try 2mb or less sizing

Posting more than 1 picture

I see that some have posted more than one pix to a single post. I down loaded Irfan and it works fine except that I when I try to post a second pix, it prompts me to delete the first. I have been attaching pix using the file attachment utility. The image attachment icon bings up some kind of a script propmt for text to be formatted and I can't seem to figure out how to use that.

Thanks,

Dean

OK, OK! I just answered my own question by reading a few other posts....duhhhh! :doh

It sure is!! Escanaba... sans the Penske truck! I wondered how long it would take for someone to recognize him.
 
Let's see if this works.

Ok. The last 2 pics I uploaded came out so small. I admit to being a computer idiot, but it seems that I should be able to do this with a bigger picture. Clearly other people have. We shall see how this one turns out.
It's me sliding in the snow on a hike earlier this month. Maybe someone could help me figure this out. :dunno

Rich,
No, R1000S - (the bike). I will see if I can work this thing out and present a picture where it's easy to identify the bike. I'm new to this picture thing. With the size that my pictures came out, it's really hard to tell that it's even a motorcycle. :doh
 
Still small. The computer continues to tell me that my "file" is too big, but does not inform me as to how to make my "file" smaller. It appears size of the picture has an affect, but a smaller picture doesn't always indicate a smaller and therefore more acceptable file. I'm lost, I'm going to bed. :snore

Try this: If you have an option to change the resolution of the file, change it to 75dpi. That'll be fine for the web, but will still allow you to post a file that has dimensions of 400 x 400 or so. I'm gonna guess that you're resizing, but not changing the resolution.

Both measurements have an effect on how big the file is. As you raise each number, you raise the 'density' of the file and how big the file is.
 
I THINK the ?img] ....jpg ?/img] Function will work too if you have the pictures uploaded.. Replace the '?' with '['

I upload my pictures to sony imagestation.. imagestation.com. It's free to upload pitures, and can share, and link to them online

Exactly. That's how folks insert multiple pictures into one post.

Also, be aware that the MOA provides a discount at Smugmug which provides some features that most of the free services don't. Unlimited albums and photos hosted, security to keep some albums away from prying eyes, sharing with specific groups of people and 2GB of transfer per month for $25/year. Additionally, some portion of your membership is returned to the MOA by Smugmug. We're using those funds to help underwrite this site.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I can't seem to go up to 400 width with 72 dpi, it won't let me upload it. It continues to inform me that my file is too big. I guess I will have to check into smugmug and see if there is a better way to do it. This is very educational for me. I will keep trying.

p.s. This tiny picture is of a backpacking trip through paria river canyon. I'm one of the specks in the middle.

OK. If you're going to look to smugmug, don't forget to indicate that you're an MOA member so you get the discount.

I think you'll dig smugmug. It looks like you have some awesome photos!
