HarryPotter Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Tried taking a couple pics, could not figure out how to get the size small enough to post Hi! You need to make a PhotoBucket account and then paste the direct link here to get a HQ picture! Link to comment
Exodus Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Tried taking a couple pics, could not figure out how to get the size small enough to post drag the images from your source to your desktop, open microsoft paint, open the image you want to resize; Click on "Resize" click on the tab "Pixels" set the longer (Horizontal/vertical) side to 600 the other one should auto populate 450, click "ok" then Select "Save" you now have a great size picture that loads very quickly.

tjwaggoner Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I gotta say this is one of the most annoying aspects of nano reef. I don't post on a ton of different forums but the ones I do, I've never had to jump through so many hoops to post a picture. Especially for such a visually oriented hobby, you'd think you could attach a picture and it would upload. Just my rant, sorry for the high jack but I just started a 45gallon tank too so that's what brought me to this thread. Link to comment
seabass Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I've never had to jump through so many hoops to post a picture. Especially for such a visually oriented hobby, you'd think you could attach a picture and it would upload. It's because this is a visually orientated hobby that you can't upload large pictures. Can you imagine how big of a server would be required to host all these photos? The forum is primarily designed to link photos from other sites (like Photobucket). Just create an account on a photo hosting site and link the photo's URL. However, Nano-Reef also provides the ability to upload some smaller photos if you wish. You'll just have to resize them to a reasonable resolution (like 640 x480). Almost any photo editor will allow you to resize pics. Link to comment
tjwaggoner Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yes I realize they can't host all the large files. What I was saying is that it would much more user friendly if it automatically resized pics Link to comment
cmontgomery1292 Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I just use phone for 99% of pictures. One of these days I will get photobucket account Link to comment
CJJon Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yes I realize they can't host all the large files. What I was saying is that it would much more user friendly if it automatically resized pics I upload to photobucket, copy the IMG link, then paste into post. That's it. Takes less time than it did for me to write this. Link to comment
