Apologies if I'm being dopey but when I try to attach a photo from my phone (a fairly basic Motorola smartphone) to a message on this forum, the photo is always far too large a file size. What do I need to do to take/attach photos that are the correct size? Thanks.

There are several websites where you can enter a photo and get it immediately reduced to the required size.


Can't remember the names offhand but a quick Google should bring them up.


Alternatively, any photo editing software would be able to do it, I think.


As you say, it's the file size which needs to be reduced, not the dimensions of the photo.

I just used wwww.iloveimg.com which was very quick and easy and automatically compressed my photo to the correct size for the ED Forum without my having to put the required size in.


If you had more than one photo to attach to one post, you would need to use another website though, as the photos would need to be compressed to a smaller size (but you could always attach one photo to each of the following posts)


I couldn't find the website I used to use :(

Too many wubbleyous: it's https://www.iloveimg.com.


Cropping can be useful if any of the image is superfluous. Resizing will probably be the your main stratagem. Bearing in mind that even a laptop screen may be only 1200 pixels wide, an image with sides of just a few hundred pixel will usually be adequate. For a free image editor to install on a home computer running Windows, I'd recommend https://www.irfanview.com.

      Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.

      Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      By DuncanW · Posted

      CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
