Upload pics
 

Peakey
Seems to be age old problem when trying to
upload pictures you not make it easier to do

It's simple. You can't upload large photos to oople so cut them down. Or just use one of the many many photo hosting sites

All I do is take the picture from my phone. Then import to photo folder, then crop the picture. With some pictures I crop as small as I can go, but still allowing the picture to show.

Works every time, hope that helps people that don't use a hosting site like myself........:thumbsup:

pictures
 

The issue is that our phones are now taking higher quality pictures so the resolution is higher, you need to edit the pictures before posting.

SIMPLES:thumbsup:

It’s not down to me to change the size of the pics you can upload to the site, it was set by Jimmy when the site was on smaller servers to save money which still stands really. I know it’s harder now photobucket are being greedy wankers but there’s loads of other hosting sites that you can use.

screenshot
 

if you take a pic on your phone of something your selling, immediately screen shot it and use the screen shot... probably quickest way to create a low res image for web use.

I just use a picture resizing app no problems ,
it's not a difficult task in exchange for free adds is it ?

Quite right, it's FREE, the least advertisers can do is obey by the rules, or else we could start charging a fee for each advert, your choice.

Certainly one way of killing of the site

There are some of us who don't do other social media because it's of no interest to us and I appreciate the effort the moderators put in on our behalf
The rules are there for everyone if you can't follow them don't be surprised if adverts are pulled because the poster can't be bothered to follow them. It's a time consuming task for the mods and shouldn't be necessary
May be this forum can do without that type of member?

not really, if you have problems with the rules that have been put in place, leave, it wont kill the site, other seem to be happy with it.

What are you talking about where am I not following the rules? I said that in answer to a bad idea about charging people to sell on the site. Please explain what your issue is with what I put in relation the the post I quoted

The photo rule was put to the members of the site, it was voted on and the outcome was respected and put into place :woot::lol:

I was looking at the painters the other week, PostImage looks comprehensive and easy to use even a website plugin, would something like this make life easier and save storage costs, I guess there must be others.

An easy way to resize an image is to email it to yourself. I do that then save the image and it can be posted on here without issue. At least that's how I do it anyway.

it's getting old.

I'm lost. Where have I said anything about not following rules???? What am I being called out on?

I guess with a whole 14 posts your not really what this thread is aimed and and clearly haven't read it all because my first post was telling people how I post pictures

This site is quiet compared to what it used to be so trying to charge people to post something Will mean even less people coming here.

it's getting old now..

Can I just point out to the 2 people who've quoted me that you have read my comment but not bothered to read the quote which is what I was replying to not peaky post. This is how forums work :confused:

apologies i did miss read your post, but my comment applies to anyone, if you dont like the rules, pay ebay fees

Id suggest you try reading my post properly. You see how I'm quoting you that means I'm replying to you not the person who started the thread. Maybe if you posted more than you'd understand how forums work. I've not trolled anyone. I said to WHITTLER555 that I thought his idea of charging for people to use the site would just mean less people using it. The only person trolling is you

Thank you for educating me. Thank you for your precious lesson. You won the internet. My apologies. I am not worthy of being in this forum. Sorry again. What a life lesson i learned. I am sorry for not posting more since 2006. How can you forgive me.

I just use my mobile and take a screen shot from my picture that I'd taken as its significantly smaller in size and does work, otherwise do agree isn't easy to upload.

I think its simple.

You should bring in a STRIKE system like the 7 day rule.

2 STRIKES your banned from advertising....:thumbsup:

Maybe but it’s takes some remembering :lol:

Surely there is a more simple solution that would benefit all......

Take the size restriction of photos and set all posts in the sales section to delete after 3 months. Then you wont have posts on there from over 2 years ago taking up server space ??

We have moved onto new servers and I don’t think it’s more of an issue now but it’s not me that Handel’s that part of the running or the site it’s up to Vicky really as it’ll incur a cost I would of thought.
