Hello Salazar and Welcome to Frag Outpost!

To post a photo in a thread click in the "Manage Attachments" button and you will be prompted with a pop up window where you can upload up to 5 images at one time.
We can't wait to see some pics. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Thanks!

What method did you use to propagate your mushrooms?
Did you use a method similar to this - http://www.fragoutpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=229

FragOutpost · 02-20-2006, 08:05 PM

Hello salazar. I'm not seeing any pics. Did you upload them via the "Manage Attachments" button?

salazar · 02-20-2006, 08:06 PM

I browsed my pics, uploaded and submitted and still no pictures any idea?

salazar · 02-20-2006, 08:07 PM

yes! but im not sure if i finished ok

FragOutpost · 02-20-2006, 08:14 PM

First click "Manage Attachments".

First image -
In the popup window browse to your file and then click upload.

FragOutpost · 02-20-2006, 08:15 PM

Wait while the file uploads and it should appear under "Current Attachments".
Then close the window and the image should be attached.

I got an upload error file to large max is 312KB my files were 1.5Mbytes

salazar · 02-20-2006, 08:33 PM

can i compress my files

FragOutpost · 02-20-2006, 08:36 PM

1.5 MB is a pretty big image. If you don't have any image editing software then you can resize and compress your images here - http://www.fragoutpost.com/jpeg-compression.php
Images that large will take a minute to process.
Save the new compressed image onto your computer under a different name than the original.
I hope I am explaining this clearly. Let me know what I can do to help.
Thanks!

Great photo!

How long have you had the blue cheek goby?
What other fish do you have in your tank?

salazar · 02-20-2006, 09:23 PM

About 6 months. I also got 1 Damsel black one with white bar and blue stripes 4 seahorses, mandarin goby. Im trying to figure out correct compression rate, i seem to be compessing to much.

FragOutpost · 02-20-2006, 09:27 PM

65 is a good rule of thumb for compressing photos. The higher the number is then the higher the photo's quality will be and the larger the filesize will be.
