Help uploading Pics

I am sorry to be a pain but ihave spent about 2 frustrating hrs trying to upload pics out of my USB to make myown personal album, all i am getting is completly blobby pics??? I have even saved them to differnt areas of my computer, no luck. Sorry to ask, but,,,, please,,, help!!!!!

Hi Serena,

I'll get you to have a look at this first, before going further, as there are a few functions within the upload and hosting service that may rectify all the problems. As you go through the list of steps there is one part where you can resize images for the forum. 640 pixels in length is a good one for this forum so that everything fits where it is meant to. If this does't help we'll see what else can be done

Hi Simon,

When i uploaded my avatar from my computer it had the above smybols,(host a image) but in my personal gallery area it doesnt?

Sorry to be a bother and thanks for your help!

Oh... ok... I misunderstood you. You aren't trying to post them to the forum you are trying to add them to your personal gallery. I see what you mean by blobby. Can I ask what program you are using to save the file to your USB? It looks like the images are in CMYK or 16 bit instead of 8 bit RGB files.

oh dear ? i have no idea at all. I have just then tried to host an image back to you (twice i might add) and i hit the upload,then nothing at all happens. It might me my computer, Frustrating ! lol

Can you email me one of the pics (just attach it normally) to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] so I can have a look at the file format

Cheers,

Simon

Ok, here we go!!!!!

i still cannot upload into Personal Gallery

Ooooooer.. that Mutabilis is beautiful!!!

It might be a gallery problem instead of something wrong at your end... it is... temperamental...

Ah yes... it says we have no more room left to upload images to the gallery. It's not a very efficient function and a bit of a money waster to be honest. they want me to pay extra money every few weeks to keep making it bigger and then when I do the space doesn't last... bit of a wrought actually. I much prefer people to use the srvimage gallery they get free with their account using the hosting process I linked to above. Sorry this is such a pain. I'll remove those badly pixelated ones for you and then maybe you could upload two different ones.

Try again... just bought an extra 500Mb of gallery storage

Also note that there is a size limit on the images you want to upload. Best bet is to download [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and resize your images so the longest side is no longer than 900 pixel before trying to upload them.
