Or are you sick to the back teeth of them from the other place?

if there`s enough interest......

I won`t be offended if not - but it will save effort to know in advance ;-)

I'd welcome it, but if I could just mention and it might be my fault, but when I've opened such pics before they are huge and difficult to see. Not sure if there's something I'm not doing right.

It was my fault Hump. I could use my phone, not camera - that would sort it.

I was aware of the file size - but the Eee pc (Linux) seemed a bit limited in reducing the size It also snapped those big pics to the screen size in Firefox - so I wasn`t aware it was an issue.
Sorry about that ;-)

I'd be interested in that too, even if I haven't got a snowflake's chance in hell of getting the answer right!

Don't get too exited Ling, you will have people accusing you of trying to drag us kicking and screaming into the 21st century. :-)

Yes! Courtesy of a url link that directs you to the photo somewhere else in cyberspace.

And not a broken record in sight on the way to being directed to it either.

I FTP them to my Virgin Media webspace. Problem is, it`s tiny and i had to keep deleting them to make space for the next crop.However, My Nokia E63 gives options of uploading to Ovi, Flickr or Vox. They seem to be built in links in the `send` options in the phone. Advice on how to actually do this with the phone and create a link, would be appreciated, if anyone knows.

I had also thought of video clips...

Sorry to be drifting this off `Motoring discussion` Mods.

Ling, I like your presenting personality, you are a breath of fresh air ;-)

Kharon,

what ever happened to the essay competitions? I think I was the only one to enter last time, IIRC.

Shameless linking to old times chaps, keep it up!

Oily, try using Picasa for the photos - it's free, really useful, and has an incredibly easy function to reduce photo sizes.

I stopped creating the Quiz on the other place as I thought it didn`t give much interest.

Talk to me about images Guys, please.

Mods, can you (would you wish to) move my post of problems with pics in here?

Can I use Picassa direct from the phone.

Easiest would be to do a text based quiz and email you all the pic from the phone - in a sort of `round robin`

Only Joking!

Do you a want full blown multi- choice quiz now and then, on my return from the Philippines? Or are we letting oilrag do it on the other place...........

;-)

Morning, L`Esc.
I have a pic - but no means to post it - without great difficulty.

It was only a sample, experimental quiz anyway , to test the water as we are packing to go out East.
I really wanted to try it with the new phone as it`s with me all the time - and also the image quality and size.
