HOW TO POST PHOTOS ON NOMAD (again)

David K - 11-4-2011 at 11:29 AM

How myself and many others here add photos to our posts... and why it is necessary to not go over 800 pixels in width when using an off site hosting page (like Photobucket). Only use the 'Browse' button if a photo is on your PC that is UNDER 50 kbs. in file size.

The following was posted in another forum...

www.photobucket.com and when you load the photos from your PC to Photobucket, PLEASE do so at 800 pixels or less (per Baja Nomad request)... 640 works best for most. >>>

If you're attaching an image, the file size needs to be under 50 kB. You can also reference a photo from a third-party site (such as a photo-hosting site like photobucket, etc) by using the button.


While there is no file-size limitation, please keep these photos to no more than 800 pixels in width (currently).

Avatars must also be hosted at a third-party source, and are referenced by their URL address.

Thanks.

As Emerald Dawn stated... a photo posted here that is over 800 pixels wide will stretch the screen and require sidways scrolling.

I know Roger is trying, but when you upload from your PC files to Photobucket... remember to click 'Customize your upload options' (link in blue at top of pop up you get when you click 'upload now')

Then pick 640 x 480 (I recommend) for a large, but not full frame image here. I only use 800 x 600 for maps or satellite imgaes usually for max. detail viewing.

Click SAVE... then upload your photos to Photobucket... Use the 'IMG' code and paste that link right here with your text/ captions... You can post several photos but I think no more than a dozen per post is wise.

Here is the same image at different sizes, up to 800:


160 pixels wide


320 pixels


640 pixels


800 pixels

The standard Photobucket upload size is over 1000 pixels wide, that is why you need to pre-select a smaller size before uploading photos that you want to share here or on other forums that don't automatically resize images.

I would think that all photo hosting sites have easy to resize and easy to post on message boards/ forums links...?

If not, just add your stuff to Photobucket.com, it's free (to a limit, and cheap for unlimited with no ads).

Who has photos 50kbs or less on their computer? That would be pretty crap quality.

That is why we suggest off site hosting web sites to hot link photos from. Plus, you can post more than photo that way, too.

Thank You David K for reposting this yet again. Finally, I got it. I know, it took me how many years.
