post pictures of your HTT

[kknowlton]

The folks in the Folding Trailer forum have started a fun topic, so I thought perhaps we could do the same. I'll start.



Our 2005 Starcraft Travelstar 21SSO, last year at the LaSalle-Peru KOA.

Well I must be part of the problem, I posted a pic of my new hybrid when this fire started...sorry bout that....BUT there has to be a place in the site code that would allow OR rather not allow a pic to be linked/posted if it exceeded the size limit - then there would be no one at fault and no flames in red to be posted. its 2012 most all forums are 800x600 - none the less...getting back to the pic post. some nice rigs you folks have \m/

I've been senior staff on other forums. There are software modules for forums that can automatically limit size of photos. Not sure if this board software is capable of it though.

The problem is, no matter how many tutorials or reminders there are, many people just don't have enough understanding of computers other than the very basic. If someone tells me 640x480, I understand it perfectly and can do all sorts of photo manipulation.

Others just don't even know what 640x480 means. My wife for example would be like 640 what? like I was speaking a different language.

Sometimes people like me that understand computers at a fairly deep level just don't get that to others it's a foreign language. I really doubt people that post pictures too large do it on purpose or don't care, they just don't understand.

And I agree 100% with you Ray. I just asked my wife:
"what does 640X480 means ", and she doesn't have a clue.

@DammitJim,
If you just reply beginning with @ and the screen name, you will get the same effect that you are addressing one person without the quote dragging pictures and even extra text.

[DammitJim]

I apologize that you had to edit the picture, but I didn't realize that when you reply to a post, it attaches the original? Next time I'll reply w/o the picture showing.

There are tutorials galore in the Forum Tech Support Forum dealing with resizing all types of photos, i,e, signature photos, photos in posts, profile pictures, etc... I'm not going to put up a sticky in each forum when it's already posted in the Tech Support Forum and elsewhere...

Giving this issue a bit more thought (as it's happening in the TT Forum as well) I will simply lock down this thread if this issue continues... There is no excuse for not having the correct size photo in your post, signature, or profile with all the information that is available here on the forum... I have asked many, many times for cooperation and it is not happening and I simply do not have time to edit all these photos in all these forums!!!

Why not make a sticky at the top that tells how to upload and re-size pics so anyone that doesn't know how to do this can read and follow the instructions. I'm sure most people that make this mistake simply do so because they don't know how to change the size of the pic from there camera.

Na, don't delete the post, just edit it by deleting the image and replace it with text saying, "Image deleted because you didn't follow the rules, repeated violations will result in your account being removed."

People - AGAIN I remind you that the MAXIMUM picture size for RV.Net posting is 640 X 480 pixels... I have said this over, and over, and over again and I'm growing weary of continually editing pictures, in both original posts and in posts where others have copied the photos... Do I have to start deleting posts??? I will begin doing so if this issue persists...

640 X 480 max PLEASE!!!

I have to back you up on this one. I saw your posts time and time again about the pictures being too big.
Deleting them is the only way some people will understand.

New to the Hybrid scene, breathing some life into our "new to us" 1998 Trail Lite Bantam (r-vison) M-17. picked this baby up for $1800 and it had almost no issues....we sold or old as dirt pop up a year ago and I had been looking for something like this. 🙂 MODS planned

Nice to see another Bantam around here. Your M-17 looks in good shape. I paid a lot more money than you for my 2001 B-19, so you got a good deal! Enjoy it!
