Good picture of an ugly tree.....

I'm trying to use the Java Uploader that automatically resizes the picture for me without going through XAT.com. It worked fine on my laptop but not working so great on my Desktop. I get a message that says: The file length for '100_2386.jpg' is too big. (69340 bytes).

What am I doing wrong? I thought it would resize it like the others.

Thanks

I seem to get that when my original file size is huge like yours. Works ok for anything under 3mb for me.

LOGDOG · « **Reply #49 on:** June 07, 2010, 05:16:22 pm »

I wonder if cropping it down would help?

Warbird · « **Reply #50 on:** June 07, 2010, 06:02:21 pm »

Probably. Jeff would have to confirm what the maximum starting file size is but try to get it down to 3 or 4 MB first, then use the java uploader.

I've been trying to upload a pic that is 1.21 mb and it won't take it. In fact the Java uploader for seems to keep shutting down my Internet Explorer. I've had to restart like 8 times. Any ideas?

Update your java?

LOGDOG · « **Reply #53 on:** June 08, 2010, 07:52:35 am »

Yep Java is updated. It worked fine for the one and then kept having all the trouble. Then I realized that I had a Windows Picture Program that would let me resize and compress my pics. So that's what I did. I don't like XAT.com I always pick up some kind of trash when I download their program and in two instances I've had fatal crashes after downloading their optimizing program. Not sure if it's coincidence or what but I'm not giving it a third shot. Managed to get some pics up last night using the Windows optimizer.

I've run across a couple of pics that the java uploader doesn't like for some reason, not the size. Probably has something to do with my ancient os (win98) and the old version of java that goes along with it. I don't spend any time trying to solve the problem, just use xat and then jupload runs.

I get so tired of seeing complaints about posting photos. Seems like every time I have a bad day, I get on here and there is another one.

If you can't post a photo I'm sorry. there are over 100,000 photos altogether on the Forestry Forum server, so there is a great number of members that have no problem.

If you cant post a photo and you ask for help doing so, You'll get it with out fail from another member or myself. I've called all around the country on my dime to help people that ask for it, and invariably, after saying thank you, they say, I can't believe how easy that really was.

if you can't post a photo, and then you make a post to just complain about how good it is somewhere else, to that I say. Go there. I was going to say go somewhere a bit warmer too but decided to just be disgusted without the cursing.

Every one should know how to downsize pictures no matter where they are. I'm only on dail up so I really need people to down size for me. I have cetain people that don't want to learn this easy way to down size so I told them don't send me pictures until you learn. Some just won't take the time to learn. I don't understand the complaining about it either. I did not know how to do all this stuff either until I came here. I can understand how this way is better than "other places".

Jeff

I kind of wanted to add some pictures to a gallery to show what kind of work I do, and maybe show off a bit,

but I am running Windows 98 still and Java will not let me download. Is there a way around it?

By the way, very cool site with a great bunch of down to earth folks on here!

pineywoods · « **Reply #58 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:55:35 am »

JustMe, might be some other problem. I run win98 and have no problem uploading pics. One thing you might check, the later versions of java won't run on 98. You can upload pics without using java, you just have to use some other program to re-size the pics first. Try a program called xat. It's a free down load. xat will show you the size of the pic in pixels, then scale it down to the required 500 width or even less.

Jeff · « **Reply #59 on:** January 05, 2011, 10:06:01 am »

I would suggest looking in your add/remove programs and uninstalling java, then try installing again.

When you say java will not let me download, what is it actually doing?
