    Dopey noob question - problem uploading images.

    I can upload images within posts no problem and the site seems to resize my images to comply with size limits.

    However trying to post to my gallery is where I'm hitting a brick wall. My initial gallery post uploaded just fine. I've since been trying to upload images of other rifles through the Edit options screen and man, it takes forever to get nowhere. I've tried resizing an image down to 1000 pixels on the long edge and still it takes 25 minutes to not upload.

    Clearly I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what and frankly my attention span is waning.

    Help please someone?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Badger,

    Yes, I've read that through too. I'll resize an image to say 750 pixels on the long edge and see if that's the issue. As the one I've been pushing for the last day or so is anything but square I doubt I'm over-size but I'll try anything. Watch this space eh?

    It's not about pixels, but rather file size and format. I suspect your file size is too big, but I could be wrong.

    Email me to badger@milsurps.com one of the pics that you can't upload and I'll check it for you, plus upload it to the current album as a test on your behalf.

    The Microsoft Re-sizer program is excellent and when I "right click" 800x600 for resizing using it, the pics are a great size for viewing on the Internet.

    Regards,
    Badger
