How to upload photos to Autogeek the proper way!

This way avoids using those annoying thumbnails. I think I'm the first to explain it like this. Hope this helps out the forum :)

A very cool how-to! :coolgleam:

This was great, thanks for taking the time to make it :)

FYI maximum photo size is 640 x 480 (500kb), and .png files don't work. As you said in the video stick with .jpg

Hey Johny, glad to be of service! How did you like the video? I'm planning one for the Camaro forum I'm on, anything else you would have me add to the video?

Yeah I wasn't sure what the max was, I might have to add that as an annotation.

Thanks for the compliments magna :)

Hi ihaveacamaro,

Your video is A-1 easy to follow and well explained even if I'm a French Canadian trying to get around with your language.
Thanks again,
Johny :xyxthumbs:

Good rule of thumb would be 1000 pixels by 1000 pixels. The software will show the image at 800 wide and then the user can view the enlarged version for more detail. And yes .jpg is the preferred format.

As for the part in the video that shows the upload to nowhere... that is due to the images being too big and the upload aborts once the software reads the uploaded file.

Nice video!

[Mike Phillips]

That's very good.

I encourage people to resize their photos first and Yancy just told me he has screen capture video software so I can make a video on how to resize pictures before uploading.

One thing for sure, ANYTHING that helps people to figure out how to work with pictures on our forum is a great addition.

I've always made my article the old fashioned way which requires a person to both read and think, so I'm looking forward to the new video software Yancy has..


Here's a step by step article with "pictures" to show you how to resize your pictures to 800 pixels wide. You can resize them to any width you like but keep in mind that by making them 800 pixels wide they'll fit and display on most electronic devises without having to horizontal scroll.

You also save server space on the hard drive that hosts the pictures.

It's really not that hard to resize your pictures to a "Viewable Size" which is a courtesy to both your reader and whoever's photo gallery you're uploading your pictures to.



Nice video Roshan...

Nice video!

Yeah, that's what I had assumed was happening as I mentioned in the video. What is the biggest size photo you can upload btw? And does it depend on pixels or actual MB size?

Thanks for the compliment :props:
