Guest Brownowl Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 I've been checking out some of the fascinating pictures of coins on this site, and would like to upload some of my own to share with others. I can scan my coins and create image files to upload, but I don't know where to click or what to do to get them from my computer to this site. Also, I'm not sure if I should upload the images as bmps or jpegs, or if there is a maximum file size. Is there anyone who has done it before and can point me in the right direction? Thanks! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 You need some webspace and an FTP client! You will be unable to add pictures to the website part.The predecimal.com webspace is password protected etc and you won't be able to put things directly on it (I don't want people deleting and changing my site behind my back!)However as you have registered you will be able to put things in the Forum area. When you post a message it should give you the option: 'You may attach a file to this message. Maximum file size (in bytes): 51200000'?You need to click the button to the right of it and browse your local hard drive for the file (the Picture) you want to attach to the message. The file has to be a jpg because bmp's are far to large and it will take people forever to view it.I've never done it myself, but i imagine when you've selected it there's an 'OK' button to press and then you post the message as normal.email me if you need to cp@predecimal.comChriswww.predecimal.comChris.www.predecimal.com Quote

Guest Guest_Chris Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 I look forward to seeing all your coin pictures on here over time!Don't use all my server space up! Chris Quote
