just read back what i wrote. That is the husband would go mad if i left the kids behind with him. thanks yes npton. billing aquadrome acc some great photo oppotuities. been having a look at all your photos wow love them all put me to sham i have got to get out there and get snapping. can some one tell me how to get mine in the gallery it keeps tellin me my files are to BIG they come in mb not kb im affraid.:bang:

[lee]

The admin could probably explain this better than me, but I'll try.

The maximum file size you are able to upload is 160kb (there are 1024kb in a Meg), the original file size of the picture taken on your camera are probably a lot larger than this, so you will need to reduce the size of the file you want to upload, one way of doing this is to select Save As (so that you still have the original file and it is not affected) and reduce the quality settings/options at this stage, and rename the file, again so that you do not affect your original picture.

Not sure what software you are using but, Photoshop software has a save for web option which enables you to optomize to 160kb.

Hope this helps, and if I am wrong on any points here I'm sure admin will correct me.

Hope to see your pics soon.
