I will get on the Google machine and see about resizing the photos, I guess the idea is to make them smaller than the Net54 maximum size before I try to post them?

Hank, it will show on your timeline, but I usually just post them, then save them to my computer, then delete them off of facebook. Takes less than a minute.

But that way wouldn't my FB friends see these on the news feed, which I wouldn't want? I'll try to figure out how to resize them myself.

Hi-
I resize my photos and scans right on my computer. I right click on the image and choose edit. In the photo editor that pops up, I click on resize and I resize by percentage. Depending on how big the image is I typically resize at least 50% and sometimes down to 20% to ensure it fits into Net54.

On another note, I love these display photos and (shameless plug alert) LOTG has a bunch of mine that should make their way into auctions over the next year or so. All of the ones I consigned were sports related, and include some really cool images of HOFers and in action sports (baseball and football primarily) from the early 1940s (all with paper war bond labels).

Couldn't get it to work. I tried resizing to 20%, the upload still failed, and when I tried by pixels, the picture fuzzed up. Got to tell you this stuff really drives me crazy. Samsung camera, Compaq computer, not like I'm trying to do anything complicated. Downloading photos to my computer's a piece of cake, why isn't uploading to Net54 the same?

They might see it for a minute or so before you delete it. Sometimes I just leave the pics up on facebook and it starts a good conversation there too.

Hank sent me images of his news service photos. They are below. I really like the images on these. The panorama one is incredible!

Wow Hank, those look great! Alan thanks for providing the assist.

Thanks, Scott, and yes, thanks to Alan for helping out the tech challenged of the world. I've always loved the news posters, they are the very definition of ephemera. Including a couple others of Walter I have yet to frame and get up on the wall, the one with the Babe and Doug Fairbanks is the only one I've seen a duplicate of. Illustrated Current News seems to be the most common, perhaps because of the repros, but even they have dried up lately. As a category, they are truly undervalued in the hobby, IMO.
