jamagica Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 What type are you trying to attach (eg. animation or image) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaclypse235 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 If the image is small enough you can use the "file attachments" browse button right below where you are typing your post. If it is a file type that is not supported, or if it is too large to include you can link to the file on your website. Hit the "http://" button above where you are typing and put a link directly to your file in the box that pops up. The second box is the text that will be displayed for your link. I hope this helps..

Sacman Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 This is another of those brutal cycles that repeat every so often. The trick to this is: DO NOT PREVIEW YOUR POST!!!! For some reason when you preview, it loses the attachment. It took me about 4 months to figure out why I could not post pics. I sent emails to Hash and begged here for some help but know one seem to know what the deal was. So anyway.... DO NOT PREVIEW YOUR POST!!!! and it should work fine.

Newbert_Zero Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 ??? i didnt preview it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 well, if it's over 1mb you can't attatch it, that speaks for it self when it says at the bottom "Maximum file size: 1mb". Anyway, I think what our friend here needs is a webpage or an ftp server so no more talk about preview untill anyone hooks him up with one, is that clear? (then you're all supose to say:) "yes person that we don't know, but that we will still follow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 If you zip it up is it still over 1MB? If it's still over 1MB, reduce the screen size of the image...say, from 640x480 to 320x240...or you could try a different video compression. I've had good luck with DivX for AVI file size, but Mac's have trouble viewing those (DivX), you might try MP4 compression with Quicktime or, if you stick with an AVI try Cinepak (it isn't the best looking, but I think everyone would be able to view the file).

nf1nk Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 one of the key things with those free webspace accounts is that most (all that I have found, but there could be one I don't know about)will require you to link to a html page as oposed to linking to the file directly. The is acceptable, but know that you have do it. It may save you some heartache later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
