How to post photos, quotes, and other forum tips

[John Bridge]

Joe Gleason has done an excellent job of explaining the process for reducing the size of images so they can be posted to our boards.

Edit: Spoiler Alert:
Recommendations for image resizing to the required size of < 2mb and max resolution of 600x800 are programs http://www.irfanview.com/ and more recently Codeplex Image Resizer.

if you're looking for photos of projects our members have done, they're scattered all through the forums. Hard to find, but it's the nature of the beast.

When someone posts photos of a completed project we try to make an entry in the Alumni Photo Album. Check out this forum for some awesome pictures.

If you've completed a project and want your pictures in the Alumni Photo Album, please drop a note to a moderator.

Thanks!

If you are getting sideways photos when you upload them to the site then here's how you fix it:

It's all in the way that you hold your phone.

Exhibit A:



Here I'm holding my phone vertically. Everything looks ok. Then I upload it and this is how it turns out.



Exhibit B:



However if you were to hold your phone horizontally when you take your photos then it will upload like this.



The moral of the story:

Turn your phones sideways!
