neil b 2,264 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 How do you become a donator then? I’m sure I could post more pics and writing than I can now in the past Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 5,945 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Resize the pics? If your using your phone screenshot the picture then upload the screenshot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Being a donator doesn't let you upload more pics. 15mb is a hell of a lot of pics, or really big ones. As above, resize them down a bit or post half of them in one post, then more in the second post etc. etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My Fuji point an shoot takes a high-resolution photograph at around 3.6mb each. That would allow me to post 4 shots (ish) at full size on THL. 141 full-size shots on Moochers. I reduce my photos to 550 pixels wide in Photoshop which compresses the file size to around 150kb which is optimised for people viewing the forum on their phones. It allows them to view the pictures without scrolling. At 150kbs per photo, I can post 96 photos on THL for the same amount of file space. That would be 3384 photos on Moochers. 3.6mb is 3600kbs. Reducing the size of the photos will allow you to post many more pictures and keep you within the data limits of the site you're using. It'll also allow people who view your photos on smaller devices to see them easier and it won't make their devices lag due to the size of the file. TL:DR... Get a program that resizes JPGs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) @neil b Neil. I took the liberty of snagging this picture from one of your posts on another thread. This was a direct upload from your computer and I'm assuming came straight from your camera? It uses X amount of the upload data limit depending on the size, and the forum will resize it to a default setting determined by the administrator. This is why you can't upload a lot of images in one go. Files are too large in size to keep under the data limit (cap). This is the same picture that I took the liberty of resizing on your behalf. You can see that the picture is much smaller and consequently uses far less data than the original. Smaller size = Less Data. Because of this, you can add more pictures and stay under the data limit (cap) One large picture carries the same amount of data as several much smaller pictures and resizing the originals will do this automatically allowing you to upload more of your photos. Does that make sense? Edited September 23, 2018 by ChrisJones Hoping To Claify OP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I'll try this from one of my generic photo albums. I upload this picture directly to the forum. It's a 2MB photo straight from the camera's memory card. It has a width of 4608 pixels. It has a height of 3456 pixels. When I upload it looks something like this in the posting section... It's a good sized file but not the biggest photo. Note that the forum limit says 14.65MB? This picture is 2MB so I can upload a few more up to the sites data limit. Next, I upload this picture to the forum. It's one that I've resized in Photoshop. It's the same 2MB photo straight from the camera's memory card. But now that I've resized it its a 20th of its original size. It now has a width of 550pixels. It has a height of 413pixels. When I upload it looks some like this in the posting section... By reducing the size of the picture I reduce the size of the file. This means I'm using far less data. Note that the forum limit still says 14.65MB? It's still the same but this picture is 97KB which is around 20 times less data than the original photograph. This means I can upload many more up to the sites data limit. EDIT: 550 pixel width is optimized for viewing on mobile phones. Edited September 23, 2018 by ChrisJones Typo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
