How to post large pictures

[eks]

Thank you!

Does anyone know how to post a picture from a different thread again?

Easiest way is to right click on the picture and select "copy Image location" and in your post click the little mountain and insert the URL there.

In other words, my old job had a huge policy change because of these farmers.

Understood. However, I doubt we have many farmers. Furthermore, you generally wouldn't be on this site if you had dial-up.

Thanks Ragboy, that makes sense. I am going to check out Photobucket one of these days. Unfortunately like so many of the good internet sites this is now blocked at the office so I cannot fiddle with it while I am procrastinating my work. I can only post on this site.

Dude, you've been spending waaaaay to much time in Cali because you're starting to spend time worrying about how to protect people from themselves, which pretty much reduces our ability to enjoy life to the lowest common denominator.

No, not really. I did have to deal with this very issue with the various farmers that were attempting to obtain PDF documents related to water quality issues. Some times the documents would be too large and it would take them 15 minutes to download. In the mean time, they would call me and ask me why they were not able to obtain the document. Eventually I found out that they had dial up and at that time I would have to calculate how long it would take them to download the entire thing.

Have you guys tried this with Snapfish? I cannot figure out where to get the [IMG] tage from. I right click and get a long link for the location of the pic but that does not work when I attempt to preview it.

Photobucket is DESIGNED to do what you are doing with it. It is designed to host and post. Snapfish is not. The company I wrote the software for, eventpix, is more like snapfish. We actually go to great lengths to NOT allow you to do this.

The reason to prevent it, is the photographer wants to sell the pictures. So they don't want people to have links to download or put up anywhere.

I definitely don't have dial-up but I am sure other registered owners might have dial-up internet access.

Other benefits of using photobucket, picasaweb, ofoto, .mac, snapfish, etc. are:

1) Minus WakeWorld all Bulletin Boards allow you to use the embeded image and some require it
2) Backup of your image if your HD crashes
3) Can order digital prints
4) Share with non-tech friends and family

What's dial-up? I think I read about that in a history book

Look at the time of your post, were you having a hard time sleeping or what?

Just remember that the pictures will need to be displayed on computers that they have dial in internet service. High resolution pictures are great but just think about the person that wants to view a thread and there is a hugh picture file that needs to be downloaded over a 56K modem. It would take A LOT of time to download.

p.s. Not everyone has the ability to obtain broadband internet access.
