Putting a photo on Pprune

[Centaurus]

Question: Many years ago I used Photobucket as an image hosting website for putting photos on Pprune. Had no problems. Photobucket is not free anymore although the cost is minimal. But Photo bucket seems awfully complicated and it lost me. Recently I have pored through Pprune advice and FAQ on the subject but confess I am thoroughly confused. Do Pprune readers recommend sticking with Photobucket or can recommend something less complicated?

Would greatly appreciate clear and concise advice on putting photos on Pprune allowing for the fact that my brain computing power is not as fast as I would like.

Centaurus,

So would I. I have tried copying photos onto Word documents and then pasting on PPRuNe, the words paste OK but not the image. I would welcome some clear and precise instructions

I think pprune allows you to upload photos directly to it's system. Just use the photo icon in the message editor. It'll ask you to upload a pic then it'll embed it in the post.

I'm still using Photobucket since i'm used to this already. But it'll be a great addition to PPRuNe for sure

Centuraus, click on the box to the right of the smiley face in the header bar, a box with instructions will open and is all self explanatory. One yellow caption will show "Brouse your device" and you can upload direct from your computer.

imgur.com also works a treat.

Bax,

Wonderful, it reminds me of when I used to fly a Tiger Moth.

I think it works :-)

[Heatseeker]

Centaurus. You are a genius and a scholar (not to mention a gentleman) Now all I have to do is remember how to do this.

cheers

Now you've worked out how to post photos can you please keep them relatively low resolution? Other wise the page gets distorted - or I need to buy a bigger screen.......... :}

[Capn Bloggs]

can you please keep them relatively low resolution? Other wise the page gets distorted
I think you mean size. Not happening here. That mossie above has a width 1582 pixels, but Prune is scaling it down as I reduce the width of the PC browser window (the above is also scaling nicely on Android). There's no point in posting a pic that's 4000 pixels wide, but otherwise, I don't think there's a problem with the new Prune displaying pictures, whatever size they are.

That mossie above

Wash your mouth out! That's a Hornet.

[Capn Bloggs]

Woooppsie! Sorry. :{ :ouch:

Whatever it's called, it looks good. All companies should have one in the hangar for weekend relief!

[jolihokistix]

Shriveled but still good.

Dried nuts? Ssshhhh....... I wish. (Offered as a humble compliment to Pprune.)

PPrune rule on picture sizePicture size must not exceed 850x850 pixels MAXIMUM, to avoid the PPRuNe thread viewing window becoming too large,.there are too many pics that are greater than the size we like. Which is 850 x 850. This size stops the spread of a page laterally and avoids having to scroll sideways to see a write up https://www.pprune.org/spectators-balcony-spotters-corner/203481-image-posting-pprune-guide.html

Since that was a 2005 post, things have moved on in PPRuNeLand. Whilst some of the advice is still valid for linking to online images, the Manage Attachments feature is by far the easiest way to go.

The current (new) upload will accept larger resolutions and the file size generally becomes the criteria for rejection. When PPRuNe advises the image failed to upload (usually after hanging at about 50% upload) the solution is often to reduce the file size. Not always, but often enough to be an indication not to try to upload 20mb files!

Resolution will be resized automatically to fit, so with respect to tailwheel that is no longer an issue :ok:

[Capn Bloggs]

Megan, an ops manual that is out of date. Whatever next! :E

[megan]

Glad that's sorted Capn, now I don't have to do all that resizing malarky, learn something new every day.
