Riverside Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Upload your photos to IMGUR.COM, then paste the link into your thread here. It's sort of like rocket surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 HEre's what you do: Buy a cheapo disposable camera. Take pictures. HAve them printed. Then have them scanned, but make sure resolution is really low. Upload them to any picture engine. Share. Or just ask yourself: What would dem00n do?

ChanMan Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Not everyone has hi-speed interwebz. While the Forum will resize the image display to fit the page, it does not change the file size. So folks on dial up or slower connects will be crippled as they DL the 3GB HD graphic file. Hope this helps you find a peace with it.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinTheHood Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 The image resize is more for making the pics standardized as not to run off the forum edge, widening the forum to 1500 pixels...like in the old forum. God, that was annoying. The forum is still going to be set to only allow a certain file size though. 2500x2000 @ 300 dpi is farking huge and makes the script work much harder - and still takes a long time to load the image. And if you are talking about the attachment uploader, same thing. But more restrictions apply as you are uploading directly to the Gibson server. I think you are allowed only 5 or so attachments anyway before you are full. Try resampling the image to 72 dpi. That is standard web res anyway.

MrNylon Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Use something like photobucket, and resize the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Use something like photobucket, and resize the image. No need. Do like I said. No failures, no uploading to the forum at all. Photobucket (and the like) are OK if you need 'em. I like imgur because you don't need to register or maintain anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, but I expect it will. Never tried it. Was able to upload a pic from the phone, but wasn't smart enough to copy and paste the text from imgur. Back to the woodshed. Seems to work fine - see fish, below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely curious because I tend to upload to my virtual server to avoid the hassles of Flikr, Photobucket, etc. Needless to say I'm eating up bandwidth at an exponential rate between image hosting and my Strat/E-Series Guide. Also, is there a bandwidth limit? Thats probably the worst part about PB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have an option that lets you register, create albums, etc., but I have no time for that. If I need a pic, it only takes a second to upload it again. No limit that I've found.

I guess I could host my own server, but would constantly be warring with the kids for bandwidth. God forbid Warcraft lagged on max graphics.....

God forbid Warcraft lagged on max graphics..... I've often pondered the idea of hosting my own server. I even have an older dual 800 Compaq ready to go. But I think my ISP frowns on that sort of thing unless I get a business package. I'm cool with the virtual, but I need to get a better plan and stop hosting my images from there. And yeah, lag. My wife wouldnt be too happy about that. I get enough grief when I hog the tubes as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Maybe I'm confused, but isn't the maximum resolution on a computer monitor 72-96 DPI anyway? In which case an image that is 3240 x 2430 at 300 DPI will be very wide (way outside the browser window) but not necessarily "look" any better.

In which case an image that is 3240 x 2430 at 300 DPI will be very wide (way outside the browser window) but not necessarily "look" any better. Something like that. Or maybe something else. I think magazine photos are like 72 DPI, and newspaper somewhat less. If my wife tried to print the pics out of her little camera in native format, it would prolly take about $4,200 worth of ink. I leave my calculator on the bench and let somebody else figure all that out. I load 'em up, then paste the link. Something else figures out how to show it, and I don't get failure notices.

It probably depends on your video card to some degree. I can also set a custom dpi. Optimum web resolution is 72 dpi. Most image uploaders that resize will also resample your image to 72 dpi.

ChanMan Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I'd venture the monitor sets the bar anymore. I've not seen anything but the lowest of low end cards that wouldn't provide plenty of resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
