DaveD 1 Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hello I've recently found an old photograph of my mums showing teaching and auxiliary staff for Greencroft junior school possibly 1955. I also want to add text and find the relevant site to send it. Can you assist. It says the file is too large. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Don't try to use the attachment feature on this forum. It's a useless waste of time. To post photos here, use one of the free image-hosting sites such as Post Image or Imgur etc etc. https://www.wix.com/blog/photography/free-image-hosting-sites Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha 176 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Not that I'm knowledgeable regarding imaging transfers (uploading) to N from a PC so why has N not been adapted to a better user friendly method of uploading images? If not, how would you use one of the free imaging sites to upload from your PC to N as it seem rather a complex operation Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 The useless, non-user-friendly image system built into Nottstalgia is something which comes with the software package which runs the whole site. No-one here has any control over it, or any knowledge of why it is still included. The only person who has any contact with the software people very rarely visits the site. Using the free hosting sites is pretty easy. You load your photo into your account; then you click on a reference number which is generated by your account; then you copy that number into your post on NS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will use your example next time I need to upload an image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRS B 558 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I’ve just tried to add a photo to my profile from my library on my iPad and it says the file is too big. Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 If it's too big you need to reduce the file size. Depends on exactly what technology you're using (or understand). Open the photo you want to use, and there should be something in one of the menus which tells you the size of the image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
