Adding Photos.

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

Like many people on here I really like reading the Ride reports & I'm tempted to try & post one or two of my own. As a computer buffoon, how easy is it to add photos? Whenever I've tried in the past I've always had a message saying the file size is too big.

You need a hosting site like photobucket or flickr and link them from there

You see, you've already lost me.
Guess I'll just stick to reading other' people's reports.

Hi Timaloy - this UKGSER thread has step-by-step instructions, and the addresses of all the most popular free photo sharing websites.

Apart from being able to share your trip pics and experiences, using an online photo sharing service means that your photos are backed up safely, you can share them with other folks easily, and access them from any computer.

Using a photo sharing service means that UKGSER posts need only contain links to the photos, instead of having to store the full photos themselves. So there's room for a lot more pics than if you add the picture as an attachment (which is why there's a limit on the size/number of attachments you can add to a post)

At the bottom of the forum listing is a test area, so you can have a practice first.

Hope that helps, and that we'll get to see your pics

Wonderful, thank you.
A practice area as well? Brilliant.
