uploading photos if you have dial-up??=frustration??

tapper2 · February 18, 2011, 08:13:27 PM

I have tried, and tried, and TRIED to upload alot of really great photos I have to these forum pages but hit a brick wall every time. What's the deal?? I keep reading of the success of others on this site, is it because I use the "old school" dial up internet? I really like this site and want to put in my "2 cents" from time to time. A picture speaks a thousand words...right?? I think it could be much simpler than it is, with a simple cut/copy/paste format. Don't get me wrong, I love this site.....If I can figure it out, I have some cool pics, for each of the categories here. I'm kind of tech savvy so......help.?? Anyone else use dial up, but have no problem posting pic??

Pretty much dial up here.

Are you trying to load more than one picture at a time ? Are you using the Java uploader or resizing them yourself ???

Where do you run into a problem ?

I'll try so I can see where it stops.
It says "unable to access to the post url "http//www.forestryforum.com/gallery/index.php?file=jupload............etc. etc."

I have not clue what that error is. Since you are on dial up, I don't suppose you have watched the video tutorial? Dial up should not be a limiting factor.

I don't understand that message.

Do you have pictures in your gallery ?

Have you followed the written directions about getting pics to your gallery ?

Just do one picture at a time. If you can resize the picture yourself to 450pixels wide by 300 pixels tall , it will take much less time to send on your slow connection.

I just looked. He has all sorts of pictures in his gallery, so the problem is not uploading them. You just need to copy the code from under a photo and then paste it in the post you want to have it appear in.

Code Select

I'm still on dial up.Does takes some time.but I just down size the pictures and it should take no more than a minute,if that long from start to finish.
I see you are all set anyways.All the way from a skidder to a ATV to get logs out.Must have a story about each one.

Of course, like most folks that do it for fun, each piece has a bit of a story. The skidder is an early franklin 120 that I picked up for $1500 a while back. Needs the 3-53 rebuilt $$$, but instead, I think I'll put a GM 350 cu. in. in it. Fuel economy won't be an issue, since I won't be doing skidding full time.
The 1973 C60 truck I picked up for $2000. It's got a 350 in it (may become the donor for the skidder) It's got 2 pto's one drives a pump for the 12.5' dump, and the other powers a pump to run an older Hiab grapple (with hydraulic winch) on the back.(between the cab & dump body) The truck is pretty whipped, so I may take the loader off the truck and mount it on my tri-axle trailer, powered by a small gas engine with a pump.
The small log arch is one that I built from old lawntractor parts. It works quite well as it has a rail that the chain rides up as you drive away. I've pulled 20' small diameter logs with ease to the firewood pile. My atv is a 2005 Honda Rancher 350, not the most powerful quad, but does all I need it to.
