How to upload pictures to this forum

[Wilfred]

hello since i do like to see good falconry related pictures here, i decided to make some manual here how to resize and upload them. Will post that here in some step by step manual

[Wilfred]

Step A is the resizing in case the picture is too big. Resizing can be done with about all the available picture resize programs. But i just give some link here for some resizing program that can be downloaded from the internet. To be found at http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm. But if this link does not work or you want some other software, just search with google on resize picture software. You will find some dowloadable program then for sure.

In fact the free software programs for resizing are not the best options i do not like the one stated here the best. I use microsoft office picture manager myself for resizing there is some option for that in the menu very easy also.

Step B is actual resizing. Depends on the software where to find the buttons for resizing. Normally i just look for that in the menu and find it somewhere. As concerns the program to be downloaded i gave in previous step, this is quite easy.

Just follow the steps. First at 1. load picture. some popup appears then where you can go to the folder and the image to be resized.

Then at step 2 you have to determine how much smaller the picture has to become. At the right the current filesize is mentioned. You can first only decrease a little bit, save and if needed resize it again. Problem with this program i downloaded is that you can not make pictures bigger with it as far as i have seen.

At step 3 the file format can be selected. Best is JPEG for here as far as i know.

Then save picture. There you can choose some folder where to store the resized image(s).

Then for uploading the picture:
1) select post reply button in some thread
2) in the Reply to Thread screen, you can type your message in the message subscreen. The screen where i am typing in right now.
3) Below the Reply to Thread screen (when scrolling below) there is a screen with additiona options. There is some button "manage attachments' there.
4) Choose this "manage attachments" button

5) In the popup appearing then, you have the option to upload files from your computer. The button <bladeren>, which will have another name for people from another country probably (in english <browse> i guess), will give some additional popup window where you can find the picture to be uploaded to your computer and set that for the uploading. Then the button <upload> is for actually uploading

[Wilfred]

6) The button <browse> ( i think that is english name for the button <bladeren> i have like stated in previous step) will give some subscreen with folders on your computer. You can here set where the file to be uploaded is stored on your computer.
Go to another folder by choosing the arrow besides the folder mentioned there. In the screen shot below the folder mentioned is "falconry_materials_pics". "zoeken in" means browse or search for/in. You can choose another folder by means of the arrow at the right of the folder name. Then choosing the file name of the file to be uploaded to the forum. After this press the button < open> (or something similar) mentioned in this subscreen.

7) after the previous step you return to the popup screen "manage attachments". Choose the option <upload> now. This will upload your picture. After that is done the name of the uploaded picture will be mentioned in this popup screen. Below the first part with "upload files from your computer" and "upload file from an URL". It states "current attachments", the file size of the attachement and the name of the attachment. Like you can see below.

[Wilfred]

8 ) Additional pictures upload by repeating step 5 till 7. If you want to delete some pictures from the "manage attachements screen", you can choose the <remove> button which is displayed beside the overview of file names uploaded (mentioned in the popup screen like described at step 7, also to be seen in the screen shot displayed there)

[Wilfred]

9) When you are satisfied with the list of uploaded pictures and want to continue with maybe changing your posting a bit and then posting it to the forum, you should choose the button <close this window> in the <manage attachements> subscreen. The button can be seen below in the screen shot, just completely below in the middle. This will lead you back to your posting to be posted. But now the files you want to attach are attached to the post.

[Wilfred]

10) Now you can continue with your post and post it. With attachements of course.

Yes..except the resizing part is not that well in fact..problem is i could not find any good resizing program on the net. For free download i mean. But it can be done by the one mentioned. Although it would be better if people have some good software for that part themselves
