Title: Loading photos onto forum
Post by: RevIan on March 16, 2013, 04:55:34 PM
Can anyone help me with loading photos onto the forum? I'm following the instructions in the FAQ section, have opened an album and browsed onto the file required. Then I press "submit" and nothing happens - after a while the browser window goes blank. I gather there might be a size limit - I've reduced the picture from 4MB to 666kB. Is this still too big?

Ian, it would be worth reducing the size to, say, 250kb, and see if it uploads.

There is a link in our Help/FAQ section to resizing using a third party website, if it helps

I too noticed the same issue, but resolved it

Upload the image to your album
Scroll to the bottom and you will see a link to use, that looks like this :
[smg id=XXXX]

Simply copy that code where you would like it to appear in your Topic or reply
