Usually if you "right" click on your photos there is an edit available. Try a few sizes smaller until you find the size that works. Sometimes it takes multiple edits, depending on the size of your pics, before you get it right.

Another thing to keep in mind for future net54 use, if you post cards by linking to them rather than actially uploading a picture, as soon as you change that link, take the card down from you image host, etc, the photo on net54 will no longer work. (At least I think this is why old threads are so full of missing photos.) So, as someone who likes to do research by reading old threads, I am always in favor of actual photo uploads to net54 so that threads will remain useful.

When pictures/scans won't load to our system 99% of the time they are too large. Pictures from phones are several Megabytes usually. That is way, way too large to upload to our system. If they are made smaller they work fine. I usually upload them from My Documents picture folder from my pc. That way, as mentioned, they can be opened in MS paint and downsized or rotated as need be. We have limited the size scans/photos our system accepts (to downsize) on purpose. I recommend a flat bed scanner for images...These guys are arguing about something else.

BTW - On Flickr - You have to scroll down and make the image "public" or the link will not work when posted. Scratched my head for quite a while on this one

I agree that uploading from the forum is best when possible. Almost daily I see members having issues posting from phones, ipads or iphones. Those images are almost always too big and need to be downsized first. Happy collecting.

I find imgur is the best of all hosting companies, that's what I use.
