photos

They re-size automatically now, David fixed that issue to make it simpler.

Thanks John didn't know about that one.

...PS - There is nothing "illegal" about uploading pictures...so you wont upset the Mods (unless the picture is way off topic or rude etc..)

Cheers
Greg

Hi I'm still having trouble, I am very sorry about this, I can type the message that I want to send, and then find the Photo's that I want to load but it doesn't seem to want to load the Photo's for me to add, do I have to take the photo's out of the file and load them to my desk top, and then load them to the Forum. sorry about the inconvenience

Hi

You shouldnt need to move the photo to the desktop - if it shows up using the Browse function it is accessible and should load. What exactly happens when you click the Load button (after browsing, selecting picture and adding description)? Does the spining icon show up as shown below?

Image Could Not Be Found

Are your pictures in jpg format?

Cheers
Greg

I do apologise for all the trouble, yes the photo's are in Jpg format. the Icon does come up for a couple of seconds and then the whole lot goes back to where I got the file from the album that the photo's are in, then I get a red message saying the file could not be found, and then it asks me for an address, and then it just closes down and goes back to the original reply,
Could you give me some sort of an answer, Because I just don't know. thank you for your patience

Hi

Sorry...always hard to diagnose problems from afar. I have not seen your issue before and cant recreate it. Maybe someone else will pipe up and assist.

While we are waiting maybe try loading a small picture (as in small file size) from your desktop and see if that works. If that bombs out as well Im out of ideas.

Cheers
Greg

We are making progress, Greg, I have just had another go at trying to do it and all was going well until I got the message at the bottom of the screen saying that it was waiting for a response from Exploreoz, so something is working I think, and then it closed down. any clues.
Broodie H3

OK...sounds like it worked...one thing I havent pointed out is that you wont actually see your picture until you Submit/Preview your message

All you will see in your draft is something like this

"[fdi]/Membersxx/40552/Forum/88[/fsi]"

Did you get that far?

Cheers
Greg

Sorry took a while to fix that last post up...does it make sense now?

Cheers
Greg

After you have loaded your image but before you hit the submit button, there is a "preview" button. That will allow you to see your post as it will appear on the forum. To view it scroll down after you hit the preview button.

Cheers,

Val

Hi All. It was going well, and I thought that I had it beat but guess what the Photo's that I want to post now have a padlock on them, so I am going to have to go and find out how they got padlocked, this is so frustrating, anyway we seem to be making progress. Thank you very much for the help, I think I need to go and get the grand kids over here and let them loose,lol, or wait until my wife gets home as she knows a lot more than me about this sort of thing lol thanks for the help everyone it is very much appreciated.
Broodie H3

my word, it worked - taken from Cobark, Barrington Tops

Hi Steve, You seem to be more techno advanced than me. do you have any Idea how to get rid of padlocks on photo's, so that I can load them onto the forum, as I think that is the only thing that is stopping me now, thanks to every one else's input. According to the wife I can drive anything but a computer, and a mobile Phone, but I am learning how to do that LOL.[I think]
Broodie H3

hey yo!! they think I'm tech savvy..... LOL

padlocks on photos??? Jeez mate, I can't even work out the padlock on my bike.

That sure felt good though - must have another go soon, just to show off.

sorry Broods, got a bit excited there.

I reckon the padlocks will be more to do with where you store your photos and the accessibility/security of them but really, I'm not the best to answer that - i'm sure somebody will know.

That's ok the guru is on her way home as I type. thanks for the respite from frustration, padlock on a bike.? motorized or push.
Broodie

"push" of course - too many buttons to press on the motor version

;-))

thanks for the info John and we are using windows 7, Ill get the guru onto it after we have fed and watered the hungry beast. good shot of the troopie, how long did it take to do the csr, thinking of going there next year sometime.
Broodie

Broodie : Do you get update's regularly ? what type of internet service do you have ... wireless , ADSL , satellite ....do you know your speed ?
you'd think the lock may be your security settings .......
I have been using google chrome and that makes a big difference with explorOZ site, lot faster .
what also helps but not necessary is to ... make copy ,double click on pic > file > make copy ,right click on new pic >open with > Microsoft office picture manager > picture >resize > large web 640 x480 px ... then up load......

cheers nick

Hi Broodie,

How long to experience the CSR? We didn't do the full length, just from the northern end down a couple of days beyond the Talawana Track, then turned round and went back to Georgia Bore and west from there to replace a rear spring. Details here.

Some try to "do" the Canning in a week. Some say it can be done quicker than that. In our view there's little point in rushing such a trip - it costs a lot of fuel, depreciation, possibly/probably a tyre or two, etc and if you stop to explore and actually experience rather than just "do" it should take close to 2 weeks rather than one. Stopping to examine the detail is what makes this sort of trip so special.

BTW this is not a trip to undertake with a single vehicle. A capable companion vehicle can save a lot of shovel work, as well as providing a measure of safety. Towing a trailer isn't impossible, but any off-road trailer that would survive the trip is going to be pretty heavy and an annoying anchor on the dunes. Not trying to put you off - its a great trip and I'm sure that you will enjoy it.

Cheers

John

Hi Nick we get all the usual updates, as the busiest girl in town needs her Computers up with the latest gizmo's going around, so every time a new update comes in it is automatically loaded on, and we seem to be replacing the computers about every three or for years, depending on what is required for her line of work, and what new software is out there that she needs to stay competitive, it's all part of life now days.thanks for the input. We now have success.

Thanks every one for your help, in the end I have had to call out the tech spert, because even the guru of our house hold gave up at midnight last night after going into websites and following all instructions, as given on here with no success, we may have a bug in the system that wont let us load in case we corrupt the site we are trying to load to. that's what the tech spert reckons any way. once again thank you all for you input.
