Welcome Paul.

Lovely colour (was my second choice after the limelight) and model. Very envious that you have yours already. Mine due in a couple of weeks. When did you place your order?

Still trying to upload some pictures but site says file size to big?

 

[mud4fun]

Do you mean for your avatar or as an attachment?

 

[pmarsh]

Wanted to post picture from my phone sorry don't even know what an avatar is lol

You should resize the photos really before uploading to forums. Not just because you may exceed any size limits but huge pictures cause the page to load slowly for people on slower broadband connections and on some mobiles and even PC's the pictures are too big to actually view properly. I find a size of 700-800 pixel wide is perfect for most forums.

There are a few members who have posted huge pictures in their gallery and I can only see the left half of the pictures on my phone. :-(

An avatar is the little picture that is next to your login name on the forum. My avatar is the little pic of my limelight green corsa (well an artists impression)

 

[pmarsh]

Right I will have to get my son in law to put me right then will get some pictures on still buzzing yours will be worth the wait mate

 

[mud4fun]

Have you tried uploading just one picture to see if that works?

Yes, everybody keeps telling me it will be worth the wait. Makes me more impatient ;-)

I had problems uploading photos as well till mud put me right. I used paint and set to 800 pixels

Your pictures display perfectly too

unlike many of the other galleries that I can't view unless I'm on a PC. I guess people just don't realise how big their photos are when taken on their mobiles. I always resize mine. It does my head in when my eldest daughter keeps sending huge photos directly from her phone to our home email, we only have a very slow broadband ( out in the sticks) and it often locks up our email for ages!
