sophiesofa Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 If you have iphoto you can export it and use the options to reduce the quality and/or size. Other programmes have similar options but maybe not under export, maybe search in the programme help section for 'image size'.

It looks a good quick fix if you're happy with one of their pre-selected sizes, and no need even to register.Remember to view the _full-size_ version when the upload's done, then you can right click on that to copy its location for pasting in your forum ad.

ianr Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 > http://resize2mail.com/Which on first trial I prefer to imageshack. More options too, including custom sizing, cropping and rotating. A page got stuck a couple of times in an unresponsive state and needed a quick reload, but it was generally very easy to use. It returned jpeg files smaller so probably a bit more compressed than my originals, but with no obvious loss in picture quality; a gif file slightly bigger; and it retained all colours.

katie1997 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Sorry to be really dim but I cannot attach a photo to a post directly from my mobile as it asks for the url. I have only ever managed to attach photos to the forum that are already on the web. So do I need to send my photos to the web first (as I think the above posts are advising?) then click on the link? (I have no idea what size they are either) If anyone can confirm this that would be great, cheers.

ianr Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Katie, once the photo file's on or can be accessed by your computer's file system, press 'Attach a file or photo', then 'Browse' to select the file. 'Attach' then uploads it to the forum site and links it to your post.If it's more convenient to upload the photo to another web site, you can do that instead, and then just include its URL within your message.
