  • Putting pictures in posts – how?

    I have a bmp picture which I want to show in a post.

    How do I do this? It is quite large, but only about the size of others I have seen.

    at the top of the reply box is a paperclip

    click on the paperclip

    you can either choose to upload from your pc, or from a website picture.

    if youre typing in the reply too, the type appears at the top of the picture

      I should have explained myself. It is too large (950kb agains the limit of 19.5 or whatever it is).

      Any tips on how to make it uploadable?

        Save it as a Jpeg.
        You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman

            I've made it jpg and it's still way too big. I've reduced it in size but if it gets any smaller it'll be invisible!

                Picture

                Just testing to see if I could upload successfully.

                btw. This is from the 1975 World Championship final, played at the Nunawading Basketball Stadium, Melbourne, Australia.

                  I use irfanview to convert bitmaps into jpgs. That usually also substantially reduces the size of the file from about + 1,000k for bmps to 25k - 100k for jpgs - so it should be within the limits after that.

                    Statman, the picture you've linked to from BDE (the snooker venues one) is named .jpg but it's actually still a bitmap, which is probably why it was too large to upload here.

                    To convert to jpg you have to make sure you're saving as a jpg type (eg, by selecting jpg from the drop-down box in the 'save as' window of MS paint), and not just changing the name.

                      I think you need special programs to make it smaller....

                        Try again,

                        I have set it so that you can upload a bmp no more than 1000X1000 and up to 20 mb.

                        That should do it
