Turner Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 We had a yearly festival here in Meridian, MS yesterday and I got a chance to hang out at the blacksmith shop at our local foundry museum (Soule Steam Feed Works). I got a chance to get on the anvil for a while and I was tutored by a couple of local blacksmiths. My project was a "buck skinner knife" and I was happy with the result since I am a green horn. I had a lot of fun and learned a good bit too. Here is my little project knife: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turner Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 I was going to try to upload a couple of pics of the old blacksmith shop but when I try to attach pics I get a "internal server error" message. The file size is 320KB. That is not too big is it? If I pick the "image" icon on the tool bar I get a light blue screen "cover up" that won't let me pick anything else. I then have to use the "back" button on my keyboard to get out of that screen. When I pick the "browse" button on the bottom of the post box I get he error I noted above. What happened? My first pic went in good above....... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your file size should be fine, but I use Photoshop Essentials from WalMart (it was less than $40) to decrease the size of images to less than 50kb and less than 10in wide by 6in high just to make sure: - the load of the images don't **time out** resulting in a possible server error. Some Internet service providers limit how long you are allowed to upload/download a image especially during peak usage hours. - the image loads quickly to people's screens - the image is not to wide or high to view in its entirety.

Marksnagel Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Not to advertise a particular item but I use www.picnik.com It's free and easy. You can shrink, enlarge, adjust the image, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turner Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have the software to resize a photo to any size I want. My problem is if I pick the icon on the tool bar at the top of the "reply box" I IMMEDIATELY get a light blue screen color which I can see through. I see everything but I can "pick" NOTHING. The thread locks up and I have to use the "back" button to make the web site start operating again. Of course if I use the "back" button on my keyboard I have then lost EVERYTHING I was trying to post in the reply box. Text and all. I think a moderator needs to see if I have created a problem with the server or something. I didn't have a problem until I picked "try our advanced uploader (requires Flash 9)" link at the bottom of the reply box by mistake. My photo upload problem short circuited right after that. NOW I can't upload photos AT ALL. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
