198738 2003-12-09 08:35:00 Does this old school site allow members to upload pictures to it? It should have a FAQ section on how to do this or instructions somewhere. Such sites that allow you to upload images sometimes have a button from where you can browse to the location on the image on your hard drive and then select "upload". The site will only probably accept images using a limited range of file types eg jpg, tif, png and will limit the size of the image (in KB's) Jen C (20)
198739 2003-12-09 08:51:00 Had a friend in earlier looking for stuff on trade me site,while there went to look up old friends ,schools etc,while checking out her old school photos,she said she had some she would like to post,I don`t know much about how to go about doing that ,but said I would see what I can come up with,hence the query.Chances are ,if I was a member of that forum they would no doubt let me know,but I`m not,and have no intention of becoming one.

198741 2003-12-09 09:20:00 Thanks Jen I did read that ,but still need to know if I put her old photos through a scanner or something so as I can get them on my computer before I proceed with anything else.My apologies if I am not quite explaining myself properly
Cheers A

198742 2003-12-09 09:32:00 You will need to have her photo's scanned onto your or her computer. When using the scanner software, make sure you select the format jpg to save it as.

Then check what file size the image is. It needs to be under 150 KB. If it is over this size you will need to reduce them down a bit. Just did a quick search on your posts and I see you use WinXP. WinXP has a quick way of resizing images. Just right-click on the file name and select Resize Pictures. Have a little play with the Medium and Small settings to see which one will reduce the file size down to under 150 KB's. You might want to practice on a copy of an image first rather than the only original. You can then let her upload the images from your PC or save them to disk for her to take home to her PC and upload later.
