Hi, I posted 2 ads at the weekend. One was for a lathe chuck under wanted, which was successfully loaded to the site.
The other was a lathe for sale with picture. This has not  been successful. Can anyone advise why?
Thanks.

Hi Richard,
I would suggest having another try. I've just been into your account and in your "My Classified Ads" section there is only one advert and that's for the successfully uploaded 4-Jaw chuck.
NB. Make sure your photo is a jpg and isn't too large as this can sometimes cause problems.

Hi Kelvin
 
I note your "...jpeg not too large comment"  - how large is large? Can you advise maximum size please. I would also like a little advice on posting pictures. I tried recently to add a photo to a posting here. I was able to create an album and upload a photo to it but was unable to add that picture to my post. What am I doing wrong? ( Is it all those thoughts of railway related beers maybe distracting me?) By the way I deleted the image from the album but the album still exists. How do I try again?
Regards
Norman
 
Hi Norman, sorry haven't got back sooner.
Guys below have more or less answered for me! Unfortunately, a lot of trial and error is often involved in sizing pics for the web - I should know! However, you should aim for 72dpi to give the best screen resolution. This was the size I used for all the Harrogate pics posted and they seem okay.

Hi
to add a pic to a post from your album, look along the top r/h side of the box you type the post into.
 
the second icon from the right , if you hover your mouse arrow over it, says "insert image".
click on that and a box appears. follow the instructions .
 
have fun.
shout if you get stuck.
 
cheers
Roy
