Pictures on the Forum

Hi,

I've noticed that a number of people have had trouble posting pictures/photos on the forum.

I will creates some notes and step by step instructors. These will be in microsoft word format.
I hope to get the notes done in the next week !

Some usefull Links to help you:

Images are often very large. The cameras use unnecessary amount of Mega Pixels (When they should have better quality lenses !), producing files with anything between 2000KB and 8000KB. These can be reduced to less than 100KB using the following software, with minimal loss of quality (for forum use)

http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm

With this installed you can "right click" on a image and resize it.

I've set up an account on photo bucket "scampforum"
https://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o122/scampforum/. I can supply the password to forum members.

Once on here the links [IMG]https://2img.net/h/i119.photobucket.com/albums/o122/scampforum/IMG_5092Medium.jpg[/IMG can be pasted in to post on the forum to produce a picture. (note I've left the "]" off the end of the link in this example otherwise the picture would show !)

If you don't have Microsoft word (to read the notes) you could down load
http://www.openoffice.org/

This is a free fully functioning office suite of Programs and most are compatiable with MS Word etc

I hope that is useful......any problems email me or ring me.
