Having Trouble Uploading Photo's

8 years ago

Hi Everyone!

HELP please, is there a secret to uploading photo's when creating a new thread as when I click on the camera photo picture icon and select a picture to upload from my files nothing appears to happen, it does not upload or give me a message as to why it has not uploaded (size constraints etc.)? Not too sure what I am doing wrong but still feeling my way around this forum so will have to keep trying and look up help hints possibly to work it out. I did manage to save a Vriesea picture on my profile space so that's a start :)

Speak soon hopefully as I would really like to start sharing some pictures of my bromeliads with everyone here. We have recently had some much needed rain so I have taken some fresh pictures around the garden as they are really looking there best at the moment with a lot of them coming into bloom and showing lots of great colour; it's amazing what a bit of rain does for them and how quickly they look like they have had a makeover after a bit of the fresh stuff.

Cheers Trish

Could be a size restriction. I hear more of this happening lately. My pix are 10 megapixels and not an issue. At the link below you can submit a request for help.

Hi everyone.

Trish - Been there and done that!

It seems this problem of loading pic's follows me on a couple of different forums. I was able to load pic's on here OK originally and then I couldn't. I gave it a miss for a few days and tried again, but finally I gave up trying to load pic's.

It was maybe two months later I thought I'd try again with a few new pic's and it worked. I didn't do anything different in regards to loading, so it maybe the size of the pic's I was trying to load originally were too big.

Trish, the programme I use is Microsoft Picture Manager which is part of Microsoft Office and what I do is bring up the picture I want to post, go to the task bar and click on "edit".

A pop up screen called "Edit Pictures" will show on the right side of your picture giving you various editing choices.

I scroll down to to the bottom where it shows in bold print "Change Picture Size", and I click on "Resize".

Another pop up screen will appear called "Resize Settings" and on this there are several options.

I go to option three which is an elongated box under the heading of "Predefined width and height" and click on that

Within this box will appear six other options; I select option 3 "Web Large" (640 x 480 px) and click OK which will automatically reduce the size of you pic.

You could try other options also but this is the one I find that works for me.

All the best, Nev

Small yard ideas for landscape...

I too like the pathway ideas.. you should see the paths I've put into my yard :) This is some of the things I see when I look at the space... Though, I don't know what you use it for or how much time you spend in it. I too would remove the larger plantings in the back against the fence. The space is to small for shrubs (IMO) Gold color mulch all around (get rid of the grass). I see the back half raised just 1 or 2 bricks high in the back (or diagonally) to give it some dimension. A small in ground water feature could be added to the raised area in the back if you like them. Along the front edge and on the raised area, I can see your "spring" time flowering with daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths. Right behind them, I would fill in a few iris patches. They always look nice in the spring. Peonies could fill in the "sunny parts" of the space and give nice color all year round. A few caladiums in the more "shady parts" along with a few hostas and astilbie. Because I donÂt know how much sun the space gets in a day I donÂt want to recommend too many perennials. A trip to the garden center would give you enough ideas to fill in the rest. Just remember not to "fill it up" too much. Sometimes less is more in a small space. I'm interested in some other ideas too. I love "little projects" :)

Compare your plant to Campanula rapunculoides. If that's not it, upload your picture to a hosting site like photobucket or imageshack, they are quick, free and easy to use. Copy and paste the html link back here. Here is a link that might be useful: Google image results-C. rapunculoides

Houzz certainly changed the upload procedure. I have to use the Houzz Photo button to avoid uploading them to an album and then to the forum. Hope you post more pictures of this rose as it matures. Maybe someone will recognize it when the orange shows up.

Here is the photo. I am looking for a chandelier and a flush mount light for this ceiling. The ceilings are 9 foot high and I will have to add a swag over the dining table because the table is not in the center of the existing light. My table is 42 inches wide. This is an open floor plan and I have seeded glass brushed nickel pendants over the island. I love the round wagon wheel look but not sure this would go with the style. Do I stick with all silver or is it possible the brown and silver will work? I also like the ORB style but not too modern.

When uploading photos I always click Houzz Photo then click browse in the white square that says drag and drop photos here and have never had any issues. For phones the pics will be in your DCIM and for computers in your files.

You can also upload photos straight from your idea books as well.

One thing I forgot to mention is that Houzz frequently gets in a hosed state and no pix can be posted. It generally clears in a short time but can take as much as a day, perhaps due to server work being done.
