Why can't I post up an image?

Hi Franz,
If I understand correctly, what you want to do is to force people to download a large image, whether they are interested, or not, thereby wasting bandwidth.

I suggest to you that this is bad forum etiquette and that the thumbnail is the appropriate method to use.

HTH,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Not at all. The picture will not be a full sized image.

Besides, most people seem to have a nice large picture for others to look at rather than having to click on a thumbnail to enlarge. Personally, I'm happy for others to force me to download a larger image - means I can see a better picture.

Cheers,

Franz

Thanks for all the assistance guys - I now have worked out how to post pictures in both ways.

Cheers,

Franz

Challenge accepted (apologies for the waste of anyone's bandwidth)

And for those with bandwidth issues:

Cheers,

Franz
(do I get a pass mark?)

Makes posting a hell of a lot quicker now.

There appears to be a difference between having pictures posted in an Album vs the Gallery.

I have a couple of Albums which appear to be assessible if one clicks on my bbyer name and calls up my profile. I guess that is how it is done? That is how I get to them anyway.

From the FAQ, I learned how to create an Album, (or Albums), but I cannot find anything in the FAQ as to how to put pictures into the Gallery; also if there are any rules as to what is approproprate.

I suppose I am asking if there is a difference in what sort of pictures go into the Gallery verses Album, and then where are the instructions as to how to post pictures to the Gallery.
