well that sucks, ive been tryin to get pics up for like a month and i cant figure out what i'm doin wrong, what do i do after the little box closes and says your photos are submitted, is the bigger box where you put in the description still supposed to be open?

 

That's the area where I have this written if you look my photo age:

My mailbox, the outhouse [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] and up on the hill, need a drink, caged, dirty socks and
right and left side intake with TY straps, my house needs tore down, my watch dog when needed, my tree hugging wife, craptor.



and below it is post bio button, hit it, but you must also be seeing your pictures.

 

bad company yes your main editing page should still be open once the little box goes away dont click anything give it a min and it will refresh your page by itself and the pic will come up

I went for a long time not knowing why my photos wouldn't upload. It said "Pending Approval" for weeks. Then RAPTORYFM66R pointed out that my photo files were too big. I needed to use a photo editing program to diminish the file size to 150K, or less. Most of my photos were around 450K. Using Microsoft Picture It Photo 2002, I saved the photos to be ready for export to the web. This greatly diminishes the file size, and therefore makes them suitable to upload onto this forum. Since doing this, I've changed my photos a few times, and it never took more than a few hours to get them approved.

Hope this helps.

 

WileyCoyote,

Thanks for explaining that better than I could have done!!!

It told me that my file is not a valid image----- how do i make it a valid image?

 

They are bitmap images--- how do i change it to jpg.

 

ok, it is my file size, how do i make the file size smalle?

 

Badcompanyracing, if you have any kind of photo editing program on your computer, you should be able to save your photos <u>for export to the web</u>. On my program (Microsoft Picture It Photo 2002), it says <u>Save as web-ready picture</u>. This will significantly reduce your file size. The reason this is done is because a typical photo file will offer way more resolution than your computer screen offers, and therefore it's a huge waste of file space. Furthermore, without making the file smaller, it'll take much longer to upload/download.

 

Thats great info Wileycoyote.. hopefully now they can get there photos up[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
