Mark C. Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 So over the years I seem to have a lot of small photos posted in my posts-I always run into the limit (977 or maybe megabits or kbs or killowhatevers this is nerd territory not mine) and have to purge my photos from older posts. I tend to start 10 pages back under manage my attachments but realize many still read and download these. So I choose the lesser downloaded ones and start purging.Can I really take the photos out of a million view post? Now when someone looks up say how to build a display rack or wash shelves or tumble stack an electric or throw a spoon rest can these posts have no photos??? This really seems to cramp my style and is one of the pain in the butt areas for me on this board-I'm not a whiner but info post with no photos are just plain stupid. I guess this is vent so folks I'm purging to keep the new photos coming alone-view them soon as they will be toast soon as well. I'd add a photo but one has to go to do it. Maybe from now on I should talk one thru it without photos like the blind pilot landing a plane after the pilot died and they took over flying.

Mistfit Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Not really sure what software they are using for this board but you always have the option to store your photos in an outside source. I use "Photobucket" myself and have for years. I know they have a limit on their sizes but it must be huge due to the fact that I have not hit the limit. I think you can still show the images within the post as well. Take the link from photobucket and copy it.. click on the image icon and the pic will show. It is an extra step but.. it does work too..

Callie Beller Diesel Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Speaking of display shelf images, Mark, would you mind horribly making that image of your portable shelves available again? I'm trying to describe them to my husband, and I'm failing miserably. Thank you so much! Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Coyle Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 If you don't need real high res for your photos, then you can use your graphics software to cut down the disk size of the picture, so that you can retain a lot more before you hit the limit. Here is a link to a free public domain graphics utility that is easy to use and allows you to pretty much do all the editing and resizing you want its called IrfanView. http://www.soft-now.net/listing/123837/IrfanView?did=11111&pid=1&ppd=search,41357483607,irfanview,e,,c,0,,,&gclid=COrkhKyrsb8CFQsYMgod81IA0g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 As opposed to your gallery, when you post in the message threads there is usually no reason to use an image that is more than 800 w x 600 h (or 600 w x 800 h) and 72 dpi. That makes the file size pretty small for an individual picture. Still does not remove the eventual limit.... but moves the time you hit it way off. And the Photobucket solution is another possible option. best, ......................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 A full fledged, open source photo editor with a good support community is the GIMP. I will allow you to edit and save almost any format to any format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmism Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I store mine on a third party host (in my case my website) and simply link them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
