failed for sale advert with picture.

[Richard Masters 1Participant @richardmasters1]

Hi, I posted 2 ads at the weekend. One was for a lathe chuck under wanted, which was successfully loaded to the site.

The other was a lathe for sale with picture. This has not  been successful. Can anyone advise why?

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

I would suggest having another try. I’ve just been into your account and in your “My Classified Ads” section there is only one advert and that’s for the successfully uploaded 4-Jaw chuck.
NB. Make sure your photo is a jpg and isn’t too large as this can sometimes cause problems.

Hi Kelvin

 

I note your “…jpeg not too large comment”  – how large is large? Can you advise maximum size please. I would also like a little advice on posting pictures. I tried recently to add a photo to a posting here. I was able to create an album and upload a photo to it but was unable to add that picture to my post. What am I doing wrong? ( Is it all those thoughts of railway related beers maybe distracting me?) By the way I deleted the image from the album but the album still exists. How do I try again?

Regards

Norman

 

Hi Norman, sorry haven’t got back sooner.

Guys below have more or less answered for me! Unfortunately, a lot of trial and error is often involved in sizing pics for the web – I should know! However, you should aim for 72dpi to give the best screen resolution. This was the size I used for all the Harrogate pics posted and they seem okay.

Hi

to add a pic to a post from your album, look along the top r/h side of the box you type the post into.

 

the second icon from the right , if you hover your mouse arrow over it, says “insert image”.

click on that and a box appears. follow the instructions .

 

have fun.

shout if you get stuck.

 

cheers

Roy
