You can't upload more than one image to a post directly. To post two or more you have to upload them to a hosting service such as Photobucket or put them into a LocoGringo photo album. Then you can copy the address and use the photo link above the message to insert them.

Whale,

Nice video for us dumbells that can't seem to get it right. Even after all that I'm having difficulties~Does the new Windows 7 cause any problems? I can't get the picture dimensions down to the required size and the KB I can.

HELP ADVICE NEEDED!

If you are having trouble with posting photos, I have revised the Posting Photos Movie on this page. Bonnie noticed that it didn't seem to work like the movie said. That is because the procedure changed a little with the new LocoGringo software which was installed after the original movie was made, so today, I have revised the movie to fit the new software. If you still can't get it figured out after watching the new movie, just ask here and we will help you figure it out.

The new movie is fairly large so depending on the speed of your connection it may take a while to load. Enjoy!

I have resized the photos usiing photobucket, picasa etc. but when I copy the link it won't display the paste option when I open the upload window on LG. Nothing is highlighted in my right click box except "select all". I have tried just copying the picture with copy, copy shortcut and copying the link on the other site. When I open the upload box here the paste option is not available. What the heck am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Neal

Panesh-
Once uploaded to photobucket- copy the URL from the "direct link" box.
In your LG message you will see a little yellow box- directly to the right above the message body (where you type in). Click that... paste the photobucket URL in that. The pic should then be embedded in your post.

Some browsers don't allow pics to be embeeded as easily as others. If this doesn't work.... let us know what browser you're using.

Hi. I downloaded Picasa and I watched the video. I did everything as you said, but my file was still too large. I resized it to the smallest possible size on Picasa when I exported it and it is still 32 instead of 30. Can you please help me?

Much easier to sue this avatar sizer:

http://www.shrinkpictures.com/create-avatar/

set it for 145pixels x 145 (click on my avatar & you will see it in the properties)

Then just download it to "my pictures" and you can put it in your profile. Just hit "apply" at the end.

Hope that helps!

Remember that when resizing pictures for posting there are two things to consider. The physical size of the picture needs to be no bigger than about 640 x 480 pixels and the file size when you save the photo needs to be no bigger than 80k.

I resized my avatar using Picasa, however I was only allowed to use a size of 145x145 with a max of 20K. Anything bigger and I got the error message stating that file is too big. Wondering I can't use the parameters that have been mentioned by
Whale?

Can someone help with photo ID? On this site when you are looking at the Tulum slide show, what is the place with white day beds on the beach? I have looked at all the resort photos. Maybe it is a restaurant?

I belive that it is, thank you. I can't open the site in English, only Spanish. Interesting that the photo shows the beds are laid out like a giant Beach Dorm with no shade. Too bad.

SO FRUSTRATED - no matter what I try, cannot get a profile photograph to upload - always says file is too large even though it has been adjusted to 57kb into a new folder. Ugh!!
