Bottom of page, press 'Full site', then the down arrow beside your username on the page that loads..... then follow your nose. That's as far as I went.

Thanks for the help greysides. However that's a lot of effort for such a simple task and I couldn't find the option of creating an album.

Have you guys as moderators the ability to suggest to your developers a simple one-click operation which uploads, reduces the size and displays a photo? A year ago a lot more people used to display their photos rather than just attaching them. I believe it makes it a much better thread. It would also reduce the burden on boards.ie servers as some of the attached photos are 3MB and bigger. Photos on my new phone are now 7-8MB!

you can probably change the quality of the pics your phone takes

Yea but if you had a chance to take a really nice pic but got it in bad quality you'd be kicking yourself.

Snapfish, tinypic, flickr etc are all options too.

Copy photo to desktop

When you have uploaded an attachment to Boards,
click on the link that is presented for the attachment.
Then copy the web address in the top right of the page that shows the picture.
Then press the icon in your post with the 2 mountains on it,
copy the link address into the little window presented,
press ok and that embeds the picture on the post.

To reduce the size of photos:
open photo on your desktop and
then press email,
then attach, and
this will attach a much reduced image to (say) windows outlook.
copy the reduced image from outlook by picking up and dropping on desktop. Upload to boards.

If the phone does not do this for you then send yourself the image by mms. the phone will automatically reduce the image size and then upload that reduced image.

Thanks mods but think ye're missing the point. I know there are various ways of going about it but for all those examples count the number of steps involved. Simplifying such things is what has made Apple a fortune!

Just went into Whatsapp and it is so so easy. Automatically reduces and displays the photo.

Anyway there isn't an appetite for it here so I'll drop it.

Which PIC the one with the porn shoot in the back of the van or the PIC of the two cocks?

I have "Paint" installed on this computer, I don't remember did it come with the computer or did I download it, anyway...

Most of the photos I take are a few mb's worth like yours.

I open Paint, click the top left hand side where there's a drop down menu, select "Open" and you get to select the photo you want to "work on".

When you open the photo here's a "Resize" option, I tend to pick 800 horizontal pixels by 600 horizontal pixels, it's good for online display.

That done, back up to the top left hand side drop down menu, select "Save as" and very importantly select JPEG, which really reduces the file size of your photo.

I know that's a process above as well, but it's like tying your shoe laces once you do it once or twice.

(haven't read back so if you're working 100% off a phone forget you read that).

This might, or might not be of some use

Thinking about it there are probably tips on posting photos in the photography forum too.

The one downside to pit silage IMO is messing with tyres, sick of drawing them down the lane on this, I think bolting a few together is a near future idea

Does anyone use truck tyres or are we the only donkeys lugging them around the pit ?

Prefer truck and tractor tyres as I can put them on and off with the loader.

Same as that here. We put a long section of box iron out of a tine on the grab to get height

Double row of tractor/lorry tyres across the front also acts as a fence. Lorry/ tractor tyres against the sides of the clamp keeps the plastic tight and car tyres on top.

bull by ionesco, showed him their a couple of months back and the best bid i could get was pretty bad so i'll hold him for another while, for the heifers. I have the first of a new charlaois bull coming in another couple of months so it'll be good to see how they go.

Nice! Have a bull by Ionesco aswell but only have a few young calves out of him. Shaping up nicely though, great length to them!

Quality calves. Will any of them be earmarked for breeding?
