Coloured Platter

I also posted this image to the gallery (and then deleted it) - so I'm not having a problem.
Mod's, have you been doing anything with the system?
-
There are two ways to load an image -
1. Linking an image from another website (for those that use the online photo album sites etc.) :-
Click the "Insert Image" icon
Paste the image URL between the "img - /img" tags so it ends up looking like [img]http://www.awgb.co.uk/images/mainlogo.jpg[/img]
Here I have linked an image from the AWGB website using this method.
(http://www.awgb.co.uk/images/mainlogo.jpg)
2. Uploading an image to the forum :-
Click the "+ Additional options" below the text box.
Click the "Browse" button
Select your image (which must be less than 200 kb in size)
The badge image was uploaded using this method.

Hi Eric...I don't pretend to understand the dark arts of IT; it's all another world to me! In case it's a probl;em specific to your IT set-up communicating with the forum IT set-up, I was just wondering whether or not one of us could help by posting the picture for you. I'd be happy to try it if you post the pic to me on my email account.... lessymonds2@aol.com . Might be worth a try!
Regards...Les

TEST...
-
The above worked fine. I've checked the system and all is well. So...it must be something you are doing.
Your image needs to have one of the accepted suffixes... .jpeg Etc., and be under 2mb (2000kb) in size. There's a turorial in the Gallery forum.

I have file upload code on my web sites. The core of the code is probably very similar to the code on this forum and all the documentation relating to the core code says the file size limit is 2Mb.
I inserted a trap to prevent the upload of files larger than 2Mb from being attempted but I sometimes found that files that were under 2Mb failed to upload.
I could not find the cause so changed the trap limit to 200kB and never had any more problems although I might increase the limit a bit as a 640px wide photo can be anything between 150kB and 250kB. I do not see any point in uploading bigger photos than that.

I don`t normally have a problem loading pics Andy,but do have a new camera I wonder if that`s got anything to do with it,its a Samsung NX1000,anybody else have one of these,I`ll also try shrinking them in piccassa to see if that makes a difference,thanks for all the suggestions chaps,regards,
Eric.
-
oh I`ll try using my other memory card as well see if that makes a difference
-
Ok,took some new pics on the other memory card,shrunk them down on Intelli-studio which came free with the camera,one was taken with the 20-50mm lens,the other taken with a 16mm wide angle lens,lets see if this works,and if the pics are any good,regards,
Eric.
-
well looks like it must have been the other memory card at fault,or cropping the originals in windows down to below 2000kb,it worked anyway,this is my first twist pen kit,sovereign from Axminster,with acrylic black and tan blank,sharp corners roughed off with 1/2" spindle roughing gauge,then rounded with a 3/8" spindle gauge and taken to size with a 1/2" skew chisel,sanding was done with abranet 240-600g then sanded wet with micromesh pads 1500-12000g,thats it,regards,
Eric.
-
Eric, well done on the perseverance to get these images posted.
-
Well Eric .. you've got there in the end ... and what a finish too, stunning 1st with the pen, be vary pleased with yourself, the writings' on the wall, the first of many ..
Cheers David
-
dr4gonfly,Never give up trying is the motto,just give yourself a week or two to cool off and rethink things.
David,I was really surprised at the finish straight off of the abrasive,using it wet must be the key as reccomended in Axminster`s catalogue,regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric if you down load your photographs from your camera to Picasa you can set the parameters 640x480 when you export your pics it will the do this automatic everytime.
