Sciurus Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi, can someone advise me how to upload a photo please? I have taken a photo on my phone but when I try to attach it to a comment, a message tells me ‘You can only upload 2.93 MB’, I have checked my previous attachments and that tells me ‘I have used 1.2 MB of 390mb allowed” I am a computerphobe so the numbers are meaningless, however I have previously attached about 10 photos which are in my library. I have tried to delete these in case it makes a difference but it won’t let me. Any suggestions in plain English would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 You and me both I can't do it either so would like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munzy Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Sounds more like the single image itself is too large rather than a total allowance of all uploads. Try reducing the dimensions of the image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 sometimes if you try uploading two pictures together the second won't upload because you have gone over the limit, as the others have said you can crop the picture which will reduce the size. Or load one then go off the topic, go back and load more, you can resize your pictures but cropping is easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciurus Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks, I am only trying to attach one photo . How do I crop or resize a photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkfanz Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 if you have foto software in your pc,you can reduce image quality,and then attach said foto,its not always possible to do it just by cropping cos you may end up cropping too much and then not get full picture.

You should be able to edit a picture on your phone, or get a free app for the down sizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciurus Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi Guys Thanks for the help but I am afraid I am struggling and completely out of my depth. I was aware of Dangermouses guide but thought it was for really clever stuff, Anyway I have signed on with Imgbb, but not got any of the pages Dangermouse shows, it has let me upload my photo and create an album but I don’t know what to do with it. I have exited and gone back in, but just going round in circles.it is so frustrating! Kev, I have an iPhone but because they don’t come with instructions, I haven’t a clue how to edit. There is an edit button but it only lets you rotate or change shade of photo. I think I will have a lie down......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I use this app on my samsung tablet its very easy to use Just found this for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciurus Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks Guys, I have finally sorted it - I emailed the photo from phone to my iPad and in email you have the choice of reducing the photo. I really don’t know how other people find computers so easy.😳 Cheers Garnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I just post photos straight from my phone i resize them in an on phone app called photo editor . (Which is a very good app ) and then from pigeon watch forum go find it in my normal gallery. Its very easy. The above image took about 45 seconds from finding the page? copying it , resizing it in in photo editor and going back into pw .and finding it in my gallery and posting it above . In fact it took longer to just write that 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using a computer daily over 30 years. I worked from home, My Employers just dumped a computer on me and left me to get on with it. I went to night classes but they were pretty awful, most people including me would get stuck and then wait 40 minutes for the teacher to sort me out and then get stuck again 2 minutes later.... I can honestly say that using a computer has been the hardest and frustrating thing I have done. 30 years later I wouldn’t be without one but hate them with a passion and dread trying something new- it always ends in tears!

Sciurus Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi All Ultrastu, you are a genius. Photo editor was easy to use. I didn’t have to do anything but select photo.

Sciurus Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks, Stu, I found Pigeon Watch, whilst looking for a Mossberg 410. I enjoy using it, but wish it had abit more range ( I am used to 12 bore. I was very lucky, I found a second hand Hushpower for sale with a dealer in Lancashire, I phoned up to reserve it and drove down to buy it. In the meantime an assistant sold it thinking it was me. Anyway the dealer was very apologetic and let me have a brand new one at cost. Well done Bamfords at Eccleston! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and you must have the exactly same brain when it comes to computers , I was getting on fairly well with my last one that was that old it more or less went by steam , when that one packed up I treated myself to a new one , that is when we went back to the drawing board and started again from scratch , I am all right when the basics are going alright , once I get a small problem I have to wait till the expert comes round to sort it out , which is my grand daughter 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
