Great news! :) (have to add that clapping emoticon one day).

Apparently the only way to fix it (for a newbie like myself), is to delete you from the list and have you reregister.

If you can see the pictures now, then nevermind.

Thanks,

Ok guys I'm lost with the photo uploads
I can enter a photo as a thumbnail click to enlarge
or upload with the forums image! But I can only post a few depending on size then I will have to delete older photo's if I wish to upload a new photo, which is silly because I will destroy the photo in an older topic
Nuts:bash:
Whats the trick to up - load on a straight photo
Plain english please or I'll get lost in cyber space technology

Hi Richard:

You can post up to 10 photos per post. If there's more, then you have to start another post.

If your photo is large, vBulletin will resize it to a thumbnail size and people will have to click it to see the full photo. Don Horner in the thread below has supplied a link to a resizer.

http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?t=467&

Also, your 10 photos will add up to a the MAX SIZE allowed for upload. Max size for upload for photos.jpg is 300kb. If each photo.jpg is 50kb large, you can only upload 5 (total for 5x50mb=250kb). You would think 6, but you're pretty much at the limit of 300kb. You will have to start another post to include the remaining 5 photos.

Your 372kb photo that you just posted is too large in file size and picture size. I'm surprised vBulletin let you upload that pic. :bounce:

Does this answer your question?

Thanks,
Seek

...and smilies count as pictures!

Here's my picture question/rant:

What exactly is the largest size picture that can be posted WITHOUT screwing up the entire thread? Although I love to see everyones photos, it bugs me when a pictures' size makes it so you need to scroll left to right to read the text, and or see who wrote the post. Perhaps it is on my end. :2cents: this should be a forum setting, pic is too big, it does not display.

I agree, it irks me too. It takes much more effort to read a post.

Right now there's no limit to the pixel size of the picture. The best size is 640x480. We could limit it to 640x480 and have vBulletin place it as a thumbnail if something is bigger, but that takes a lot of processing power and sometimes it may not even work.

Or we could just limit it to 640x480 and if it's bigger, the upload fails.

Shall we implement this?

Thanks,
Seek

Hi Guys
Thanks for the info! I think I have it right please advise ????
ten photos smileys per post no more limit at the uper-end of the scale.
OK, but if I go to another thread the 10 photos become available again untill I reach the max file size on that thread?
IS this right? or am I getting it wrong, sorry if I am ! but heck, we live down under, so the blood is thin when you walk around in the air all day:lol:

The clickable thumbprint photo below is image shack
this saves the server bandwidth and you can place as many as you wish on the same thread, as persay this thread.
There is a method of wraping url tags around the photo for it to appear in a compleate 640 by 480! But I can't work it out.
Is any one good enough to drop into image shack and work it out?
there are other free image format providers that will do this too.
if some one can work this one out it will solve the frustration some of us have, and also save the server bandwidth
Richard
for example this one photo of image shack does not show the image size or size of file
Hey gang this is the mystery monkey bearing that would solve the shakes, vibration, on the long wheel base Sprinter

As one can see there are many options
the one advantage of image shack is you click the photo which allows for a full resolution click again on the image shack resolution photo and it will show a full screen shot, most of the time.

Howdy Seek & others -

On your question concerning limiting picture dimensions: my vote is to not add a dimensions limit.

640x480 is likely a common good file size for many but can not be guaranteed for all. Some folks will be able to display only smaller images without suffering from having to scroll right, others will be able to display even larger images than 640x480 with no need to scroll based on their display capabilities. This is a fact of life on the web and it makes web developers jump thru hoops as they are developing web pages in order to try to make pages work well / look good for the majority of folks.

It is easy to forget that not everyone sees a given web page in exactly the same way. Many browser options and window sizes make this so. Try clicking on the "Restore Down" button in the upper right hand corner of your browser window (depending on what browser you are using) in between the "Minimize" and "Close" ("X") buttons as an experiment.

I am a culprit (http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?t=511) in posting some images that are too wide. I apologize and should have probably shrunk my Sprinter-Forum browser window before I did my screen captures.

I changed a few things to hopefully help with the bandwidth for the long term. It's not like we have a lack of bandwidth now, so we can change it to the maximum if need be.

Attachments per post: 5 max (can be changed to "no limit")
Attachments Upload from computer: 5 max (can be changed to max 10)
Attachments Upload from URL: 1 max (can be changed to max 10)

You're correct Richard. If you have 10 pictures (files) to upload, you will have to split them up into two posts.

The clickable thumbprint photo below is image shack
this saves the server bandwidth and you can place as many as you wish on the same thread, as persay this thread.

I think having images on another server is a great idea except for the technical section. Pictures that reside on servers for sections labeled Accessories, OEM Info, Issues, and Solutions would be useless when the link becomes dead or the server no longer exist. :thumbdown: I can go through a number of threads, click their links, and go to a page that doesn't exist.

Eventually, I will start collecting information to store in the Wiki section and link them in the Forum. That way we have information that is more controllable.

Here's one method to shrink picture sizes, except this goes within the href tags, and it doesn't shrink the file size itself.

<img src="picture.jpg" alt="picture" align="middle" border="0" height="480" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="640">

Shrinking the picture (pixel) size will most certainly shrink the file size to save on disk space and bandwidth.

Hi Zach:

In this thread...

http://www.sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1209#post1209

...I have the width maxed at 640 and nothing set on the height. I uploaded a picture that was 1280Wx480H and vBulletin shrinks it automatically to the confines of a 640 width. The height was changed automatically to keep the picture ratio WxH the same.

This would be the same if we inserted a taller than wider picture and set the height to 480. The ratio WxH will stay the same except the image will be confined to the 480 height restriction.

We can go with this to make things a little bit more readable. I think by putting the limits on uploading quantity and file size, the server should be okay at resizing the image.

I'll make the restriction only on the width (now 640) that way when there are 8.5x11 papersized pictures it'll still be legible and not shrunk down to the max height of 480.

Thanks,
Seek

ps. The feature is not retroactive.

You guys are more cpu savvy than I. I usually resize on my cpu with photo shop software & then upload the resized pic. It's a little bit of work sometimes, particularly with multiple photos, but yields the advantages of trimming out unwanted parts, smearing license plates, stuff like that. I even go smaller, like 480X320. Also, although I have not personally used image shack, I do notice that they are ad/pop-up layden:thumbdown: . I use photobucket and so far have been able to keep my account free. Pretty easy to use, heck I fugured it out;) !

Hope all you turkeys had a good day today :cheers: !
