Just wondering why some attached photos don't open to full size and some do.

why do photos take a long time to open.

I have a cable hi speed connection with a modern windows PC.

thanks

Hi Bob,

I don't know about the software on our site, what I mean is how the software handles uploads of photos, resizing them etc for example. I suspect that your photo if in a large file size would be optimizes to an acceptable file size before it is posted here.

You might like to reduce or optimize your photo image before you upload it to the site here.

The link to optimize an image is here ----> http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx

Just follow the instructions when you open the above link it is quite easy to use and it will reduce the file size however not the size of your photo.

On our site Peter (our past President) made a good write up about posting photos, you may like to have a read of it.

Here is the link -----> http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=15055.0

Scroll down to Reply # 3 once you open the link to Peter's post and links.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Hi Bob,

What you've posted is the computer equivalent of: "My car is not running well. Can you fix it?". Could you post some specific links to posts where you are having problems... and links to posts that are going well. Then I can investigate. What browser are you using, and is Javascript enabled?

What Theme are you using on this site ? (See Profile / Look and Layout preferences) ?

Hi Rolf-Dieter,
My question was about trying to see some photos on other peoples posts that do not open when I click on them.


Hey Peter,
I suppose it was a broad question.
I will focus and provide the examples and other info.

thanks
