    Test photo at 800 pixels horizontal and 500 pixels

    Rochelle, in your video on resizing you mention 800 pixels horizontal, when clicked on the thumbnail after posting the new window that the photo appears in will only take a maximum of 500 pixels horizontal without scrolling.

    Thank you Rochelle. I will follow the guide for posting videos later today.  I failed yesterday to post a video of a CC site in the highlands. 

     

    Cheers.........................K

    Well it isn't working for me! Using an iPad (popular device, modern, used by tens of thousands) It won't even open when I click on the "add photos" button! And that is after I have manually resized a photo to choose and try as a test!

    After numerous click click on button it finally brought up my photo library. Photos still showing too large. Can I be bothered? I cannot.

    Interesting looking caravan. Not seen 1 like this though I believe Swift are making one with the facility to put an awning on the rear.

    Brilliant you did it.

    'There are no problems only solutions' is something I was told some years ago & I try to look at things in that way.  Learning all the time.

    While we are in testing phase, it might be worth posters adding details of op system and pic size to provide further information for assessment. That will enable us to ascertain the maximum size that can be loaded without scroll bars. CC clearly aren't going to be forthcoming with such basic and useful info.

    I have resized this following the method suggested by Rochelle using Paint on Windows10. It is resized to 495kb - and the last time I tried to post it was about 1 cm sq.

    Second attempt using the 800 pixel method but when you click for the larger image there are scroll bars.  Why does it not display the full picture?

    At least it's an improvement on the old forum.  I never could get photos to work on that!

    I think the biggest it can cope with without scrollbars is 500px which would make the vertical about 350px in the usual 4:3 format. Don't know if it could cope with a portrait layout. It does seem a little strange that, having set a file size limit of 500Kb, it doesn't allow a full utilisation of the size that such a file would allow. But then, this is CC so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised.

    I've been using 500 pixels max but this is 800. 

    500 is better, 800 is good unless it's expanded on left click. (Cairngorms photo.)

    What's the point of adding a photo which is no larger than an thumbnail! It's pointless. At least in the old site column-wide photos could be loaded from photobucket et cetera. This new Photo uploading is worse than useless!! Won't someone step in and manage this websitefrown

    Was able to post a practice picture or 2 with a helpful poster's instructions on the old site. Unable to do so at present here & Rochell's instruction's are the same - photo appears then disappears & I saw briefly what I guess is programing language. 

    Xmas is coming & have other things to get on with so will just read posts for now. Merry Xmas Everyone.

    I found on another thread that if I wanted to upload five, 400 x 300 pixels was about the maximum this system would allow. As these test photos. If it was only one I could generally go to 800 x 600. Although even some of those failed. So perhaps near the limit.

    I am reducing from 12 megapixel photos on an iPad 3, using a downloaded photo size reduction app.
