Tutorial for uploading photos and video

Posted on 01/01/2017 16:02 by ColBur

 Chas - Thanks for your comments above re photo. I can now resize photos and am trying to add to post but at a larger size than a thumbnail! The fact that I am using Apple gear and I believe you use Microsoft, means that the simple concept of dragging and dropping is not quite so easy! But at least I can now add something!!

The forum default is, when you add a photo, that it will only appear as a thumbnail but this can be clicked on to show a larger image. If you want to see the picture without scrolling bars you need to resize the original to 500 pixels wide. I got the impression from something that was said that they might be working on photos so they appear larger without scroll bars but how long that will take I have no idea. Some people have manage some work rounds to this to show a larger picture but as yet this has not been included officially into the forum.

Posting thumbnails with wonky popouts isn't what the Customers wanted.

For chasncath. The following is just an observation.

Your slide show is running when your post is visible on my screen. I found that as I normally use the back/forward arrows [quite a lot] in the www bar to move around CT it moves between slides to the end of the slide show 1st .I guess that is because it has no play button that I could see as on the other videos.  I am wondering therefore could this affect people’s data allowance where they have to pay for it. As I said just an observation.

I will try to turn off the self-starting of my slideshow. I am not the complete master of the technology, indeed, I'm not quite sure how I did it in the first place. Doh! Not on www today, just using Club free wifi at Chapel Lane. Will try next time connected properly.
