How to upload and post a picture

Nice job Raj! What program did you use? I know Snagit has that feature!

I am trying to incorporate that into the website - such an awesome easy to follow how-to.

Do you know if the bandwidth it is consuming while playing is the same as the total filesize?

Hey Robin, I'm using a program called VNC2SWF. Its a Python(Not our beloved herps) based open source application. :)

I logged into my console and the bandwidth was at 122.28MB before and after I played the movie. I'm not really a network buff, so I really don't know how to check for bandwidth spikes. I think I did it the right way, but I cannot be sure. Would you mind telling me how, so I could double check?

Are you running through Cpanel?

(EDIT: we'll figure out a way - no worries - don't want to leech your bandwidth is all!)

Yup running cpanel.

The abndwidth counter on the left side of the main page does not update immediately but as a scheduled task (depending on how your host admins that admin tool lol).

Web/FTP Statistics > Bandwidth should give you a daily tally.

Okay I see what you mean. I was hoping there would be someway to monitor it real time. I checked the general account information and the bandwidth usage has jumped upto 176 from the previous 122. I did run through the movie several times and I'm sure someone else must have accessed it as well. If it helps, I will see if I can cut down the size of the movie :)

What sort of software can you use to edit it?

The thing is the movie by itself is 6.92Mb. I had to encode the voice into the flash movie separately. That brings the total to about 9.95MB. I'm gonna have to redo it again and tweak some of the settings to reduce the size down by several megs. I'll get it redone and shoot you a pm. And in the mean time I don't mind hosting it on my server :)

Just don't inconvenience yourself doing it bro, please. I know right now is nuts for a lot of folks - papers, deadlines, work projects, tech reports ad infinitum.

So any flash editor can do it (minus the voicework)?

I doubt that a flash editor is gonna be able to edit the swf movie. No worries Matt, it would take me very little time to get it redone. Had too much practice with it, lol. I will tackle it tomorrow in the afternoon sometime and send you the link. :D

Ice,
You rock! Thanks!
Now it seems most of my pics are 1536x1024 which is to big. Any suggestions on how to reduce them.


The tutorial was just what I needed, Thanks again.

Did your camera come with a software bundle? Any editing software? They are ususally bundled with fairly easy to navigate image editing software. In these programs you'll want to look for a resize or resample option.



If not you can use a free tool like Picasa http://picasa.google.com/index.html

Actually in my Kodak easy share software it is there.
Thanks for your help or I never would have found it/ figured it out!

No problems. I was happy to do it. Figured it was time I made myself a little more useful around here, lol :D

There should be a step by step picture tutorial on how to post videos :P

Thanks for the help again. Will try again after viewing link a couple more times. Yeah, just a little slow with technical stuff.:confused: :oops:

Raj my friend you are crazy! in all the good ways haha talk about taking it to the next level - very impressive.

Nice job Raj! Looks awesome!

here's to hoping someone else uses Linux and something other than Flash, and to hoping that someone might be able to instruct/direct me on how to post photos.

it says I cant post attachments though...would that mean a picture as an attachment?

Sorry I don't use either of those to post pics, but I'll see if I can help. (Most users say that can't post attachments, so don't worry about that. You can still download pics. ;) )

First make sure your pics are sized correctly. Preferably 640 x 480 or smaller. :D Then go to the gallery at the top of the Main page. On the tool bar you should see My Stuff. Under that you should see My Gallery. After that you'll see you're gallery, and the bar will have upload. Click that, and then Browse. Find the pic you want and upload it. Once the pic is uploaded you should see BBCode and a link beside it, under your pic. Just copy and paste that link in the thread you want to post the pic in.

If that doesn't work then try these instructions. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=18760

If that doesn't help, let me know. Good luck. :D

too cool...thanks a lot. now maybe I can get a good enough photo off the camera to post :)

thanks a lot!!

WOW thanks for this it really helped me

how do you delete pics from here. i want to add more but my storage is full.

You have to delete each picture individually. Pull up the pic, then goto 'thread tools' (on the upper left of the pic) and 'delete this image'.

thank you vry much..

You're welcome. :)

Sweet stuff. Damn the internet is cooler these days.

If bandwidth is an issue.... there is always the possibility of sticking it on youtube...

Great video!

Thank you! That rocks!!

after i click on my stuff theirs no link to my gallery...

Hi,

No sign of a link saying "my images" in the drop down list at all?

I know you have pictures there as the number of them shows up under your name next to your posts so it should know to show it. :(

Could you grab us a screen shot of the problem?


dr del

AH HA! i got it! its my images not my gallery. thanks for clearing that up dr del!

FINALLY....I found this sticky! No Photobucket required :banana:

Now...let's see if I can do it by myself :D

Robbin

Apparently I'm not too bright in this department :rolleyes: I got two pics into the gallery, but the screen looks a lot different than when the original video tutorial was created, so I can't figure out how to get the pics from the gallery to a forum post.

I've been a member for 6 months and have NEVER posted a pic because I don't know how :(

Robbin

Hi,

Ok lets see if this helps explain it. :)

http://satanswombat.googlepages.com/picposthint.JPG

Then when your making a new post hit this button https://ball-pythons.net/forums/imag...nsertimage.gif just above where you enter the text.

That will open a little pop up window.

And then (because the text in the box is allready selected for you) either right click on the blue text and select "paste" or just hold down the "Ctrl" button and press "v".

That should put the address of the picture in the little box and then you just hit "ok". :gj:

Does that make sense?


dr del

When I click "my stuff", "my gallery" or "my images" isn't even an option. I only have "my favorites" and "my subscriptions"

:( Any idea why? I just joined, and I really want to post pix of my snake!

Hi,

You need to upload the pictures first - it is on the page where you saw "my stuff" but 3 along.:)

dr del

Dr. Del,

Thanks for coming to my rescue. That part makes perfect sense and that's what I tried after viewing the video because it seemed pretty simple. However, my problem is that when I go to "my images" and my only two pics come up, I don't see that pic box of info with it. All I get is a small box with the title and size of the pic.

I used to see the box to which you are referring when I would go to my profile and see my one and only pic (my avatar) listed in My Gallery, but something is different now.

Hate to be a pain :rolleyes: but I appreciate your help.

Robbin

Ah,

Gotcha. :gj:

You need to click on the picture you want to post when you see that screen - it's just the list of pictures in your gallery. To post one you actually need to have it showing full sized on your screen. :)


dr del

Now I see! It's a miracle!

However, it's HUGE...my first few attempts to post might require resizing by a super moderator :D

Thanks so much :bow:

Robbin

this is fantastic! except for some reason it won't let me upload some photos . . . any ideas? :weirdface

I found that too, but that doesn't matter, as you add stuff those options are added to the drop down, just go to 'upload'

Very helpful for newcomers. thank you. Some of us... I`m sure I am not the only one...maybe on this site i am, but thanks for taking the time.

I think I am missing an add on or something is turned off on my security settings...I followed everything in here and nothing added correctly. That is ok. The pics are on the member gallery, I'll survive, and intrepid curiosity seekers can click a few extra times!
