PLEASE Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong.

Okay, one more time. When attempting to attach pics to a post, either way I try, they come out HUGE, inordinately increasing the page size.

This occurs when using the "Manage Attachments" function, the "Insert Image" icon, and the old-fashioned , hand-typed [img]...properties/URL...[/img] way. Trying to change the photo's properties from -thumbs, -med, or -original does nothing to change the humongous image that appears.

Is it a setting that I need to change on my side, since this never happened in the "olden days," that is, before July, 2009.

I'm starting to get the DT's from lack of photo sharing ...I need a fix!

Thanks for any help,
TG

Re: PLEASE Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong.

This is when I get it from the Gallery, using a picture just added, not an old one. It works just fine.

Re: PLEASE Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong.

Insert Image, with the last photo added before the changeover...



Same Insert Image, if I try to take away the -med at end of the URL properties...



It must have something to do with the Properties of the image that were added before "the change."

Re: PLEASE Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong.

If you have a photo management program like "Nero Photosnap Essentials" or similar, try to change the pixel size to less than 2000 pixels in either direction and then post. The photo should be a good size for posting then.

Re: PLEASE Tell Me What I'm Doing Wrong.

Thanks, I use XnView, and all the pix are reduced prior to their addition in the Gallery. That's not the problem; the '15 Mercer was the first image added after our changeover, and works just fine. The others were all there before the change. Peter's on it, so I'll wait for his reply.

Appreciate the tip, though,
TG
