How to Attach Pictures to Posts
seedlings	#1 Posted on 07/11/2008 8:35 AM
1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 4226 Joined: June 27, 2007	Before attaching a picture or file to a post, there are two key rules: 1) The picture must be less than 800 x 800 pixels. 2) The file must be less than 268Kb So, all of us with 7+ megapixel cameras have to do some editing otherwise the picture won't attach. How do you know if your picture is too big? Hover your mouse over the thumbnail or icon of the picture on your computer. The little popup box will say "Dimensions: 1600x1200" or larger or smaller (or right click and go to "Properties"). 1600 pixels is too large. Homeroasters wants 800 pixels as the largest dimension. So... some math: 800 / Largest Dimension = % reduction required In our example that's: 800 / 1600 = .5 or 50% (always round DOWN) Now, open your picture in MS Paint (right click, select "Open With" then "Paint"). Go to "Image" then "Stretch/skew" ("Re size and Skew" for Windows 7 paint). In the Horizontal AND Vertical windows type in the % reduction, 50 in our case. Click OK. Save the file, and use this as the attachment! Viola! How to attach it? When you go to make a new post, or to add a reply to an existing post, you'll see the "Attachment" section right above the "Preview Thread" and "Post Thread" buttons. Click "Browse" then find your re-sized image and attach it. If you click "Preview Thread" you won't see your picture AND you will have to RE-ATTACH it before clicking "Post Thread". You must have typed something in the window in order to attach a picture. Any trouble, just contact an Admin or Moderator by clicking on a name, then send a "PM" (Personal Message) and we'll help you pretty quick.
