Sorry if this is already explained somewhere on the forum and if so, please point me in the right direction. As a newbie and posting novice, can I get some guidance on uploading pictures? I've already successfully posted a couple of pics with the upload system under the topic box which produces a thumbnail to expand on. But I see many threads posted with excellent and much larger pictures embedded - so how does one do this? Thanks, Chris
I hate external links like the plague (what good is a forum if you can't upload pictures directly into a post?)
At the risk of repeating myself for the umpteenth time (and for the umpteenth time, Chris, WHY DON'T YOU ALLOW ME TO SET UP A 'STICKY' ON THIS???) - to get your picture within the 150k limit :
1. reduce its size to around 600x600 pixels; despite some of the 'dinner plates' that abound here, that's perfectly adequate to see a coin's finer details
2. reduce its resolution to 72 ppi (that's the resolution of a computer monitor; anything more is just wasted)
3. save it as a JPEG and compress it when you save, e.g. to Photoshop's 7/12 setting (or 'Medium')
It should fit into 150k, though you might need to post the obverse and reverse in consecutive posts.
