How to post pictures of the day?
 

I know as a guest , b4 i became a member. I saw this question. Would like to post some pics as well. A few questions, how to post on picture of the day, an do they have to be USAC ? Pics I take are mostly at a stand still, or in the pits. I do have some of drivers on the track, but no where close to as good as the photographers on here. You people are great at what ya do. Just learned 2day how to post a pic on my profile. Thanks for any help, an will see if I learn something new. Lloyd

You might find the answers in the FAQ's https://www.indianaopenwheel.com/faq.php


but there are 2 ways...

If you have a website and host the images on your own site. You can click on this image https://www.indianaopenwheel.com/ima...nsertimage.gif

Insert the web address in the popup window.

The image will appear like this...
https://www.indianaopenwheel.com/hay...Hayden2004.jpg

The other way is to use the "Manage Attachments" button in the right side column. This uploads the images directly to the IOW server. There are limits for all members. You won't have unlimited uploads.

If you use this method the images will appear in the post like this...

Beautiful shot by Mr.Consoli. I wish he'd come back out here, one true gentleman.

Well thought I had it .Got all the way to upload pic, then down below where it says waiting on file(s) to upload had an error message come up...still need more practice I see...lol...Lloyd

There is size restrictions so check to make sure the image isn't larger than the allowed pixel width and/or height and that the file size isn't larger than what it says below the upload boxes. I can't remember what the limits are.

Chris, I agree! It was always great to see Al at the track!!

Re: How to post pictures of the day?
 

But why is it I can get about the same size pic on the side of my profile , an yet can't get 1 to post? Again just curious. Thanks Lloyd

Re: How to post pictures of the day?
 

email me the picture you are trying upload and I'll see if I can figure it out.

Re: How to post pictures of the day?
 

Ok sent....iI think...lol...Thanks Lloyd

Re: How to post pictures of the day?
 

The picture you are trying to upload is 3 megabytes. That's too big. Only 1 MB per picture is allowed.

The picture was 300 ppi and thats what was causing the issue. Most internet images are 72 ppi.

I'll resize and send back to you.

Re: How to post pictures of the day?
 

Shows ya what I know. Guess I need to figure out how to resize now. Thanks Bill.. Lloyd

You're welcome! It's a common mistake, no big deal! We can all learn something from time to time.;)

Re: How to post pictures of the day?
 

Well now if you can tell me how to resize, I will see how long that takes me to figure out an learn something new. Thanks Lloyd

Re: How to post pictures of the day?
 

You use another program (photoshop, etc.) to resize the photos beforehand. A good size for on here is 600 pixels wide.

Thank You fish. I think I know how to do it now. Wish I could get them bigger than a thumb nail. Thanks Lloyd
