hi Bob,

Ok, I've followed the intructions exactly...firstly 3c ,which I'd previously done then as suggested 3a.  The pic is only 47.2 kb & I've reduced the size using stretch/skew in paint, but you can see the result.

I'm losing the will to live  ???

Hi Susan

Posting images is not allowed on the look-up boards, the facility is disabled.

You can post them elsewhere, e.g. the Common Room, and post a link on your thread.

Oh dear still nothing happens. As I am a very senior user I am not very good with computers. Managed to put some photos on the resoration board some time ago,though I could not resize those. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Kesannah,

have you read this ?
Topic: Adding images to Posting & Profiles
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,130922.0.html

Keep the image under 10 KB and a mx. width of about 120 pixels and it should be OK.

Try again, and if doesn't work, give us a blow-by-blow description, up to the bit were it goes wrong, so we help.

good luck,
Bob

Post by: kesannah on Tuesday 16 January 07 19:47 GMT (UK)
Bob, Again I have tried but still no joy.

I click on I will upload my own picture , the click on browse, choose the photo from my pictures, open the picture and then I put in the text "Aunt Maud" then click change profile.
The picture is 37.9KB (whatever that means,I could not see anything which says about pixcels). Am I being a doddering old fool or what?
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: kesannah on Tuesday 16 January 07 19:50 GMT (UK)
Well done Sheron. Tis idiot could not manage it. Also can't do maths. Bob said to keep it under 10kb and I posted (or tried to) on that was 37.9.
Just don't get old Sheron

Post by: julianb on Tuesday 16 January 07 19:50 GMT (UK)
Kes

Don't worry, many of us have been there.  I had less hair by the time I was succesful.

Try attaching your proposed piccie to a post on this thread, then we can see if there's a problem.

Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: Berlin-Bob on Tuesday 16 January 07 19:52 GMT (UK)
Hi  Kesannah,

the big problem is that the facility "I will upload my own picture" doesn't seem to work too well.

try this,
Use 1) Resizing and cropping your image file:[/color]
in the tutorial to resize the image.
then load it to this topic as an attachment, and then use the address of the image, here on the topic to copy into "I will upload my own picture"

first step, resize and put the picture here ....

Great, we can see what the problem is (this picture would be too big).  You need 10 KB and a mx. width of about 120 pixels (as Bob said earlier)

The pixel size is 512x 800.  It would need to be about 120 x 190  (use the 120 across as a guide).

What do you use to resize a photo?

Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: Berlin-Bob on Tuesday 16 January 07 20:32 GMT (UK)
Have a go at resizing, as in the tutorial, but just in case you are getting fed up, then use this one, and practice later on a different picture  ;D

right-click on the image, and then in properties you can find the address (URL). in this case, it's
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=202137.0;id=34244;image

try it and see, just to get the idea, then go on to the next step  :)

First try.
This one is 150x96 pixels, 7.08kb
As it's quite a tall photo, any bigger might not work.
We'll see what is looks like here.
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: BettyofKent on Wednesday 17 January 07 14:05 GMT (UK)
Not bad, it might look OK as your profile picture. Worth a try
Do you know what to do next? If it doesn't look right, we can try again.
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: kesannah on Wednesday 17 January 07 14:16 GMT (UK)
Betty I am not too sure what to do next. I usually go to edit profile and put in the url and browse to find the photo. Nothing ever happens. Am I being dense?
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: kesannah on Wednesday 17 January 07 14:24 GMT (UK)
I have once again tried, but never does the picture apear. I really must be daffy. I can manage to post one on a message-no problem.
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: BettyofKent on Wednesday 17 January 07 14:29 GMT (UK)
Right click on the photo I posted.
Click on 'save picture as'
Give the pic a name & save it to your desktop or pictures folder
On rootschat, click on Profile
On the left look for Edit Profile Click on that.
Then scroll down to 'I will upload my own picture'
Click the circle so a dot appears.
Just underneath is a box that says 'browse'
Click that & find the picture on your computer.
Click the pic, and details will appear in the 'browse' box
Scroll down to the bottom & click on 'Change Profile'
Then post on here & your message should have your new pfofile picture
Fingers crossed!

Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: sirius on Friday 26 January 07 18:12 GMT (UK)
Yep it is!

Sirius (α CMa / α Canis Majoris / Alpha Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the night-time sky, with a visual apparent magnitude of −1.47. This binary star system consists of a white main sequence dwarf star and a faint white dwarf companion. It is located in the constellation Canis Major.

Sirius can be seen from almost every inhabited region of the Earth's surface (those living north of 73.284 degrees cannot see it) and, in the Northern Hemisphere, is known as a vertex of the Winter Triangle. The best time of year to view it is around January 1, when it reaches the meridian at midnight.

Under the right conditions, Sirius can be observed in daylight with the naked eye. Ideally the sky must be very clear, with the observer at a high altitude, the star passing overhead, and the sun low down on the horizon.

Post by: sirius on Friday 26 January 07 18:36 GMT (UK)
Yes its is

It is also Orion's hunting dog, the constellation you can see in the picture on the right hand side........

Hi Thank you for the information link, is it easy to do, I found it quite simple to post a picture on the restoration board, the only problem there was the size of the actual photograph.  This looks like it would have to be  very a small photograph, I am not too sure how to resize a photograph.

Hi Elizabeth,

The information and links is all that thread I posted. For a profile pic you need to keep the size to a width of about 100 pixels. If you can't work out how to resize with your own software, try the link at the bottom provided by Arranroots. It is very user friendly......Kris  ;)

If you put your photo on here there is a nice  lady that will resize it for you.I was like you i never could resize my photo so she did it for me on the original adding images topic.If you put this topic in your favorites you wont loose it and you can come back and practice again ;D

No worries Chrystal. If you were after restoration it was perfect as was. For anywhere elses we suggest no wider than about 600 - 700 pixels is good - For an avatar 100 is perfect. (150 pixels max) I posted it at 600  ;)

Will check back to see how you get on.  ;)

Well that worked OK. 

I have often had the experience of having real errors but getting the wrong error messages
(which meant a lot of time looking in the wrong place  :'( )

Are you sure it's a JPEG file (.jpg, .jpeg) and not JPEG 2000 (usually .jp2) ??

How about the file size ?- under 500 KB ??

File name ?? there is a message "file with this name already present" but try a different name anyway, just in case.

It may be a thought too big, but … I tried to post it here, too, for your comment, but it wouldn't let me because I'd already sent it... can you see it somewhere to tell me if it's too big?

If that's meant for the restoration board, then it's fine.

If you are just posting snapshots on other boards, then we recommend a maximum width of 500-700 pixels.
This helps for easier viewing (doesn't stretch the screen sideways), saving space, and for better RootsChat performance.

I'm going to 'attach a photo.........' then browsing then opening, but when I hit 'post' all I get is a blank message body.

Also my photos seem to have my whole pathway to them, eg this computer\my name\my documents\pictures\ .......etc      so how do I rename them so it's just for eg saying 'red shoes.jpg'

Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: Berlin-Bob on Thursday 10 April 08 19:51 BST (UK)
Hi Silvery,

you have to have something in the message body to post at all, hence this error message.

And don't worry about the long directory names "eg this computer\my name\my documents\pictures\ .......etc ".  That is just where the file is stored on your computer.  Somewhere in that directory you should see the file you want, so when you do, click on open, and carry on from there.

Hi Cool,
The pic looks good...just a smidge too big, I think. If you look at the pic's properties, it is 875 pixels wide....if you make it about 600 pixels wide it should be good......that is the measurement I use for posting.......for an avatar I use 100 pixels wide.

Hi eeyores4me,

I don't really know the answer, but it could be.

Maximum sizes allowed for avatars are 20 KB  150x150 pixels.

And unfortunately, some more bad news
You are allowed 500 Bytes in your signature and the image is exceeding this.
Please can you remove it.

Properties:
Size of File: 48.66 KB (49824 bytes)

regards,
Bob

ps.  - this applies  for everybody who has an image in their signature -
Please check that the total signature size does not exceed 500 Bytes.

I am so sorry .. for the life of me I've never been able to work out a signature is .. and now eeyores4me apparently has one that moves?

I went to my profile and ticked the box just to see what might look different .. nothing at all so I've just returned it to how it was ..  :D

Could someone tell me please?  :)

Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post

@ Pels.

A signature is what comes at the bottom of every posting.

In Profile, look for

Research names or areas:
Your research area or names researched are displayed
at the bottom of each of your post or personal
message.

Underneath the message box you will see Max 500; characters remaining: ...

@ eeyores4me

Bob ... so am I right in thinking that the bit at the bottom, for e.g. on Pels last post, that says about N. Yorks ... etc ... is the signature ??  What most people have as saying something about copyright ??
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: Berlin-Bob on Tuesday 22 April 08 20:45 BST (UK)
Hi Lydart,

yes that's right.

On a letter the signature always comes at the bottom.
On a posting, the signature also comes at the bottom,
but in the profile it's the Research names or areas: box.

regards,
Bob

And incidentally, everyone who carries out census look-ups should have the Copyright statement in their signature line (it doesn't sit well under your avatar & stretches the page).

Census information is Crown Copyright from www.nationalarchives.gov.uk

Just a little reminder to those who didn't do it when they joined Rootschat!

Ok, can someone please advise me if this is too wide to post?  I need help reading it, so it has to be clearly visible...

Thanks,

Debbie

P.S.  See previous posting
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: Berlin-Bob on Thursday 24 April 08 17:26 BST (UK)
Hi Debbie,

Actually, yes, it is too wide. 
The biggest problem, is that unless people deliberately add carriage returns everywhere to the text,
the screen needs to be constantly scrolled back and forth, to read the replies.
(In the worst cases, people ask why there is no reply button for the topic ?
  - there is, but it's just way off screen to the right somewhere   ;D )

We do recognise that there are special cases e.g. photo board etc, and sometimes for other documents, such as yours,
so in these case, if there were no other way, we would accept it.

But may I make a suggestion:

how about splitting it into two parts ??

Feel free to use these, if it helps  :)

Bob

Hi Stan,

The thread you are trying to post the image on is presumably on one of the
Lookup Boards .. we are unable to post images on these threads using the
normal way of attaching .. because of the RootsChat copyright policy!  :-\

I use Imageshack and then the Ctrl C .. Ctrl V method.

Stan
Only if it's retrieved from an internet site (as opposed to your hard drive). So you have to upload to a site such as imageshack first and then use the little 'insert image' icon. But then that's something you can do on the lookup boards too   ;)

(Opps, sorry Pels)

.... the photo experts will love to get to work !   And they will resize if necessary ...

Hello, could we mention a problem about Profile photo can't find anywhere else please.
I can copy/paste http code into the main text to see a photo, as above but same photo (same http code) doesn't seem to activate in Profile?
Using Flickr website, I've uploaded photo and copied http code off Properties, then added [img] at both ends. Works fine here (reduced size for profile) but can't insert as profile photo.  Mention, clicked on 'I will upload my own picture' and 'Change Profile' at the bottom.  Help appreciated.

Welcome to RootsChat Midlanders  :)

Have you tried without the [img] code?

Else it should work fine if you upload directly from your hard drive instead of a site (still not using any code)

 :)
Title: Re: Adding images to Posting & Profiles - Practice Post
Post by: Midlanders on Monday 19 January 09 22:14 GMT (UK)
Thank you for welcome Tati, also had a message sent here to notify of your reply. :)
Tried a few more times earlier, also with different photos and codes but no luck yet. We write to other websites and usually add photos this way, so a bit puzzled at the moment. As you suggested, also tried without the [img] code.
Is extra software needed to send them directly from the hard drive, or are they already stored there somehow. Thank you again.

Hi Midlanders,

A warm welcome from me too ..  :)

To give you an example of how I do it ..

On your profile go to Modify Profile and click onto:

RootsChat Profile Information

Click the button next to I will upload my own picture: then press the Browse button which will take you to the Picture File on your computer.

You should then be able to choose your picture to download for your avatar.

I hope this makes sense .. ?

Hi Midlanders,

you can't load photos to your profile directly from other websites.

You can use any photo you have on your computer, as long as it is under 20 KB and not bigger than 150 x 150 pixels.

Good luck,
Bob
