YES! I've seen many people comment about it. Even on the classifieds where it's really important to post pictures.

**specialtyretail** · 07-21-2013, 12:08 PM

Mine just had a fit as well. It is only showing a window for one pic, then it tells you to manually resize your pics. Like I have a clue how to do that...

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-21-2013, 12:14 PM

I've had problems. Iwas going to post in the classified but it wanted it resized so small looked like an avitar pic. Wound up just emailing pics, hope they fix it soon

There is a glitch. You can not resize a photo 642x0...

But, if you re-size it to 640 x 480 it will work fine.

My camera is set to 640 x 480 and it tells me the file is too big.

The last pics I tried to post --it said they were 129 k and the maximum was 109k.

I have downsized the resolution of my camera for this forum once before----but I wont do it again. Im about half way thru my build--Ill try once more to download pics, if they are too large being 640 x 480----then I guess the build thread will be dead!!

If the pictures are 640 x 480 and it says they are too big then the resolution will have to be lowered, either in the camera or by image editing software....

thanks leddzepp, i looked for a thread to explain what was going on but didn`t see it. So we`re changing servers, any idea on how long that takes?

PAWS 72 · 07-21-2013, 08:09 PM

I guess you missed the part about the administrators upgrading the servers on this site. Upgrading servers is a major project that sometimes causes problems like this. If you give the powers to be a little time to get things sorted out everything will get back to normal. I remember when they upgraded the servers a few years back the same thing happened. Cut 'em a little slack and let them get things sorted out....

I saw it posted on the 17th that it will take a few days. I asked last night and was told it will be done when it's done. Things aren't hard to understand when they are explained. An explanation before the fact would have been best,when you consider all the frustration many of us experienced before we were told. Now it's frustrating for the staff having to deal with all these "why can't I post pictures" threads.

Evidently my pictures are already the right size for the sight,cuz I never had to resize them before. That's why I don't even know how to do it. I'll have to wait to post pictures,cuz resizing them for a temporary situation is time wasted,IMO. I wish the administrators luck on the switch. I'm sure it's for the better in the end.

PAWS 72 · 07-22-2013, 10:02 AM

I wouldnt even want to be in Liz and Josh's shoes right now going thru a server change. wouldnt know where to start or whats involved.

I'll just deal withit for the time being.

Have patience everyone it get better eventually. The world aint ending because we cant post pics right now.

ok, I`ve changed the megapixel setting on my camera from 12.0 to 1.2 (it`s the lowest setting).
I still have to resize the picture till it`s to small to see before I can upload it. yet I see others still adding regular size pictures.
here`s what I can upload

I have the same problem, so I decided to just sit back and wait until they get it fixed. I'm sure we're not seeing all the glitches they're working on, so as my father used to say to me "patience son it'll work out" so I'm trying to be patient

teeitup · 07-22-2013, 07:21 PM

I had to downsize to mobile phone size, I wish they would be bigger for guys to see

67_C-30 · 07-22-2013, 08:37 PM

Woody, this has been a problem for a while here for me. What I have been doing is loading the pics to photobucket and posting the link to the pic here. It allows you to put descriptions under each individual pics, and the pic looks better. Its more trouble, but way less than resizing each individual pic.

teeitup · 07-22-2013, 09:01 PM

I'm not PC or phone savy, but I see guys downloading pics from phones, I have a I phone 4S, how can I transfer pics from it to on here? Any help is appreciated

**LockDoc** · 07-23-2013, 12:06 AM

Here is a picture I just sized down and uploaded from my computer. I sized it down from 1600 x 1200 at 72 pixels per inch resolution. It is now 642 x 482 at 60 pixels per inch resolution. The 60 pixels resolution is the important part.
