What do you mean, Piyush? Oooo_0 you mean the word "avvie"? It's short for avatar. The first person that I saw using it here was lilixkid, or maybe it was Number.

Hey Flashorn, I got a notifacation about your post in this thread, but it doesn't seem to be here. I guess the servers ate it or something. coastie

[techie4fun]

That reminds me of when you were allowed to delete a post you had put on the forums before anybody had made a reply after you. You can't do it anymore so I wonder why you received a notification. No posts deleted.

[piyushsingh]

I saw that missing post but it was blank and that too was gone after a few hours.

Hey Techie and Piyush!!



Isn't that strange that my post would just disappear?



Ok , I'll tell you what I think happened.



I posted or tried to post my desktop but, for the second time

in as many days it just won't print in the forum.



I tried a jpeg but the file was too large 2.84 mb. The forum would not accept a

file so large.



The I reduced it to 192kb using a png file and again the forum

would not accept the file.



It might have to do with the original format of the file as it was

a "gift" from HP but, after the second try I did not investigate further.



Hope this will clear up the air for you guys.

Interesting event.

If a picture is too big to post in the forum, try cropping the image down and taking out all the background garbage. Your size will reduce.

Hey Techie!!



I don't know if the new size of my notebook might have something to do with it.



On my 15.4 notebook I could up-load any of my desktop png's.



Now this one is a 17 inch and the first time I try and up-load a desktop pic



the forum says the file is too big.



I did have trouble with FF2 last week , so I'll try in IE7 and see if this is the

problem.



I might end up with another Blank .LOL!

Are you sure the jpeg was 2.84 MB ? Or was it a bmp file.
jpg of a screenshot isnt that big.

[Flashorn]

Hey Piyush !!



You know, MPH is gonna ask us to start a new thread right?



You're right well, almost I should have checked closer. One is

a jpeg and the other is a PNG but, at 1440 x 900 res.



Could this be the problem?

Hey Flashorn, I usually just do a screen dump then paste to paint and resize it there before saving to My Pictures. Maybe not the best method, but works for me as I hade the same problem with doing a screen dump and then uploading to the forum TOOOO BIIIIIG. coastie

Hi [~60096] . I normally use VSO to resize it first (50%) or do before I post... www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/

Seem to work fine...Won't loose much of the quality of the image from VSO.

[techie4fun]

LOL.

It makes you wonder doesn't it?

[coastie65]

Yeah. I had a post or two that went to the Sever etherworld.

[piyushsingh]

Ok , here is the simplest and shortest way to get a full screen image here without using any 3rd party softwares.

* First press the printscreen key on your keyboard.
* Next right click the desktop and new bitmap image.
* Right click the new bmp created and click edit, which will open paint if you havent set it to something else.
* In paint ,press ctrl+V.
File -> save as . Change filetype to jpg instead of bmp and save.*
* Upload the jpg.

Remember changing the filetype is important to keep size in limits.

off topic: mph wont mind this. This is a general talk thread. hehe

[coastie65]

Hey piyush, After you press print screen, you can then go to paint and then paste and it will bring up the screen dump. You can then go to attributes and change the size to e-mail size and save to my pictures or where ever. You can then upload from what ever file you saved to. coastie

[piyushsingh]

hey coastie
try both ways and see which one is shorter. ;-)
