Guide for adding pictures to the forums and database

Yes.

Even I can do it. It's actually the only way I can post pics on BA.

 

Can we not add photos for retired beers?

 

Does it not allow you to upload or does it error out when you try? I went to a retired beer and could see the Upload Photo option available but that is as far as I went.

 

It gives me a message saying no files was uploaded.

 

What is the size of the file?

 

150X300 and 38.5K

 

20kb maximum.

 

I knew that, was just testing y'all

Thanks

 

I reckon that I have uploaded up to aboot 25kb with success...

 

Until now. They just found you out!

(Just reiterating what the instructions say when you click to upload a pic to the beers database. YMMV, I guess)

 

I knows.

 

I also use Paint to get the pixel dims, but then use the photo viewer/editor (can't remember the name) to resize to as close to 20 as it will get.

The whole process is ridiculous but it's been workable for a few years, for me.

 

You most certainly can upload retired beer photos . Several beers on database are marked retired. Lots of them are still brewed or remade years later. Even thou is says retired you can still upload photos.

 

Without you changing settings on your camera to cause your problem, I'll ask if you recently changed the background where you normally place the bottle/can to take the pic? I've noticed that a dark background causes a greater byte size (or it may be a light background causes it, I forget which way), but a change of location may be your cause.

I also use Paint to get my cropping and dimensions done, but my pics usually end up in the 30-50 or more Kb size range. I hate having to use an extra step, but to use this site (bulkresizephotos) always does the job. I get a 50Kb pic down to 9-10 Kb every time.

 

Yep I had the size wrong, thanks though.

 

Excellent, thanks!

This should negate the need to reduce the image quality and save one step.

Came up on WBAYDN? recently....

 

I think you can upload pictures for ¨retired¨ beers. Remember, this really means not recently acti
