I find my photos take a very long time to load. Do you know if I need to resize them for the forum? I have just signed up for Dropbox to get my images hosted once and for all. Its a $13 a month service.

Thanks, I am now ready to post images again

AndreasLundin · September 23, 2017, 06:19:00 AM

Hi, I tried Imgur and I must say I could not deal with it. I rather pay for a service and know I have rights. I can use Dropbox for work as well as other forums. I got 1 TB storage so I am going to transfer and delete my account with Photobucket.

Thank for your help.

dropbox has its own internal image code that trad gang can't interpret.

use www.imgur.com instead of drop box and all will be just fine.

Having a heck of a time resizing pics. Every time I change one side of the little box and hit apply it changes both numbers. Got kinda lucky on this one somehow.

you do NOT have to resize images, trad gang will do that *UNLESS* the image address begins with "https" - that stands for a "secure server" and we can't resize those images.

HOWEVER, when you paste in the image address, and you see it begins with "https", simply correct that to "http" by removing the "s", it's that easy.

NOTE: trad gang will only resize images that are wider than 640 - we do NOT resize TALL images, there is no need for that as our only concern is with the WIDTH of an image.

Okay thanks, Rob. That's what I did with that last one. The other one let me resize it in imgur but posted smaller than I thought it would.

Rob DiStefano · November 02, 2017, 08:53:00 AM

there's no need to resize images unless you want to for your own use. leave 'em big, it's really OK.

for my personal use, i resize most images to 1024 wide, sometimes smaller to 800 wide. this is just easier to deal with on my computer - i have no need for images that are thousands of pixels wide, who could even look at them, they're 5 to 10 times wider than the screen they're viewd on.

the only problem with trad gang resizing is if the image address begins with "https", which just needs to get changed to "http" before posting.

*HOPEFULLY* (please please, dear God!) all this imaging craziness will be put to bed once the new forum software is effected (hopefully this year, there are SO many damn hurdles to get over with the damn conversion!).
