1937hd45 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 What do I have to do to post the THIRD photo in 24 hours??????????????????????????????????????????? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Seems to be all about the size of the files that you are posting, They have a maximum number of megabytes you can post daily. I’m sure this is to keep the robo-posting yahoo’s from crashing the system... try to decrease the size of your picture before you post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Bob, log out and then back in again. It will reset your file limits. agreed in the age of free disk space that restriction should be removed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Logged OUT, forgot my Password, applied and received a new one, tried to post my THIRD photo of the day and REJECTED. If I remember I'll try tomorrow but that will seam so unrelated to what I was trying to comment on and out of place. Bob . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The Forum site apparently counts the size of the files that you upload. It resizes any photos to a maximum size of 800 x 600, usually giving a file size of 150-200 KB in size. When someone else downloads a photo, that is the file size they get. So, learn to resize your photos BEFORE they are uploaded and you can post many more photos per day. I think the only way around it is to put the photos on a photo-sharing site or your own website and link to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could download as full chip on the HAMB if I wanted to but TWO PER DAY HERE. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalef62 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 If you just back out of your post and go back to the main forum, then go back in you can post more pictures. I have done it several times and never log out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hi Bob, I don't have the concentration left to learn new things. It has been a while, but Steve has taken the time to walk me through a couple of situations like this. Call him if you keep having the problem. I have to apologize for my ignorance, but Steve tells me there is no need for apology. - Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I do not understand. I've posted many more photos, like when I took pictures at a local car show, and had no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I don’t know what to say, when I try to post anything it asks me what size and I usually do medium. I’ve not hit the limit in a long time. The chose file button says 9.7 megabytes limit which is a lot if all your pictures are 150-200 kB Gary posts above.

Mark Wetherbee Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I keep my pictures on a OneDrive folder, to see a file size you look at the ... section and get a pop up showing the information including the file size. When you upload it here, it also tells you that size just below the picture once you upload it. The attached picture is 1.8 mb, so I can post 3 more things this size today.

alsancle Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 150k-200k are tiny photos. Expecting a bunch of old guys to learn how to resize the defaults from their iPhone is probably a stretch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load two photos and then post it, back out to the restoration threads, then back in and edit post and add two more pictures. Then I save changes and do it all over again if I have more pictures to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting a bunch of old guys to learn how to resize the defaults from their iPhone is probably a stretch. And you have probably noticed how few pictures get uploaded since the new restrictions. Threads these days are mostly complaining about Elon Musk, millenials, electric cars, the government (of more than one country), automakers, vendors, etc. Why so few threads about restoration or driving the cars? Maybe it is just too big of a pain to upload the photos. Many have outright said so. This doesn't affect me personally because I upload my pictures to imgur.com, and just link back to them from here. Still, it is impossible to miss how the photo limits have put a damper on things around here. If covering the cost of more photo space caused my AACA dues to go up a little I would be fine with it.

Finding the funds to buy an !Phone and the monthly cost of having it PLUS finding someone to provide obscenity free instruction isn't something that will happen soon.

Thoughts? There is some comfort in knowing I'm not alone. If the carap you mentioned could be replaced with photos this could revert back to the ANTIQUE automobile club of America. Yeah, that's going to happen. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I use a huge file size on my camera so I can enlarge my photos to show small details, or enlarge the photo to crop a small segment of the photo to use elsewhere. When posting photos on this site, I typically can post one or two at a time. When I create a post, I can usually post only one or two photos per post. When you hit the "submit reply" button, the forum software downsizes the photo file size when it saves the post. As soon as the post is saved, I click on the "edit" button and add one or two more photos. I can repeat this editing process to add as many photos as I have ever wanted to add to a post. It is a bit obnoxious, but it is a fairly simple work around. I wish there was a way for the forum software to make this editing process unnecessary, but it has not happened yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearsFan315 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 i take photos with my phone 3-5MB each or my EOS 15-25MB each. i save them to my PC in the designated folder i want to keep them forever then create a copy of the photos i want to upload to a temp folder i use "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" free and resize them all to 1024x768 and save them (a 3.3MB files is now 275kb) i then upload them to my google photos & forum post, i can load 10 or so to each post no issues. they are large enough to see detail yet small enough not to cause an issue. and i have the full size versions on my hard drive if i ever need them, like stated above great for zooming in to see detail and figure out things 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I always save the photo to my PC, then open them using MS Office. Using the "edit" function, I simply select "resize" and use one of the several choices available to set a pre-determined size. I usually select "web-large" and it automatically adjust the photo. I can then simply save the changes and it's ready to post. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 My photos are measured as 370Kb's whatever that is, Did you know I'm clueless on all things electrical as well? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 "The chose file button says 9.7 megabytes limit which is a lot..." "My photos are measured as 370Kb's whatever that is, ..." It takes 1,000Kb to equal one megabyte. So 9.7 megabytes = 9,700Kb So you should be able to post 26 photos of size 370Kb before you reach the 9.7 megabyte limit. 9.7 megabyte equals 9,700Kb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
