I was going to try posting photos on a.p.b.o., & after ages of first
trying to find it & then messing around with "Usenet Replayer", I
finally found the page that lets you send a message. Then, I hunted
through RGO for guidelines for photo posting, & found that the
pictures should be jpegs or gifs. My scanner is on an old computer
which doesn't allow the option of saving either type, so I usually
e-mail photos to friends as Windows bitmaps. So, I scanned them,
saved them, & then converted them in "Paint" to jpegs on the other
computer. When I scanned them I made the picture sizes similar to
those I saw on a.p.b.o., & they were generally 60-80K ... but then
when I converted them to jpeg on the other computer, they have all
come up at 6 or 7 KB. I have tried e-mailing them to myself & it
seems to work, but one of my e-mail addresses doesn't seem to be
working either, & Yahoo keeps asking me to verify that I am not a
spammer...!
It is 2 a.m. & maybe I'm just not doing this right due to being very
tired & also distracted by the cat who wants me to shut off the
computer & go to bed... but before crapping up on a.p.b.o., I thought
I'd better ask... can I send them at that size? Can I send them as
bitmaps? Assuming I can get it to work, how many pictures is it
appropriate to post at once? I found a dozen that were good but
didn't want to clutter up the group if there was a limit.
I'll figure it out after a while.... :P
