| Subject: Please make sure you post photos at proper size!! Thu Apr 03, 2008 7:50 pm | |
| We need to get the size of our photos down to help with the loading speed of the page and to prevent it from going off the page. The best size for photos being posted is around 640 x 480 pixels, some of the photos that have been posted and are to large for the page are around 1024x768.
I use Photobucket and have notice that most other people do too. To load you photos in to photobucket at the right size you need to make sure you have the correct upload size selected. To make sure you do go to options.

After you have clicked option select the correct upload size for forums the one highlited in yellow

Once the photo is uploaded you can check to see if it has the correct sizing by selecting edit. 
From here click the resize button.

You can now see what size the photo is and if it's to large you can change the size. When you first enter this window you will see the actual size of the photo where it says new size. If the size is close to 640x480 than you need to do nothing, since the photos size is OK. If it is to large just click and drag one of the buttons in the circle and slowly reduce the size. Both buttons will move at the same time to keep the photo in proportion as long as you have Keep Proportions selected.

If you don't use Photobucket you will most likely have similar options for the upload of your photos, it will let you change the size of the photo when it uploads it to make it a more appropriate size for forums. I hope this is helpful to everyone and I look forward to seeing more of your photos |
