Uploading Pics from my PC to ATS HELP

I never used to have problems last month...tried uploading today, no luck

clicked on upload in the messages bar drop down...

moved some old pics to default public and conspiracy folders

click upload, (even went so far as uploading from my root c drive...)

progress bar shows 100% uploaded ...then mystery...cant see them anywhere...

as some suggested made sure no ad blockers on my browser...(even used another browser with ad blocker disabled)

no pictures to be seen anywhere...

What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing...what am I missing?
(Pic size only about 3 mg)

Thanks fellow brethren

Make sure the size is under 2mb.

Is is that simple...before I try to resize?

Thanks

I've tried to upload gif animations only to see them not appearing anywhere before. LOL. It was frustrating until I remembered there was a 2mb limitation so I reduced the animation size and ta da it appeared!

Onto it now...mucho gracias

Seems to work...a further bit of advice if you know...I saved it reducing it to 75% to jpeg from bmp and it reduced it from 4 mg to 600 k. Any thoughts about quality? They seem to look not too bad

Many thanks

Oh no wonder. 75% is pretty good. Try to make the best quality and resize if needed if it's too big. I'm not quite an expert in it sorry. Hopefully someone who knows more will come in and help.

Seems to be working at 75% and converting from BMP to JPEG

Thanks again

a reply to: TheConstruKctionofLight
75% is a good choice, usually works to meet the ATS limit unless the pic is a huge resolution composite from NASA or something, then you might have to crop those.

Thanks very much for that confirmation.
