Thread: Adding images to an classified ad.

  1. #1

    Default Adding images to an classified ad.

    Hello all. I posted an ad today to sell my Stefan Sobell Cittern.
    My first time on the site.
    I found it impossible to add images to the ad.
    The site told me the images should be jpeg.
    They bloody were jpeg so where did I take the wrong turn.?

    What have I done wrong, or am I missing something??
    Any advice would be really appreciated.
    Cheers and all the best.
    Dave.

    I could be on the wrong thread.!!!!! Please tell me if I am.
    And send me in the right direction.
    That would be brilliant. Cheers.

    Make sure they have the jpg extension and shrink the size a bit. Cameras and phones today make the images so large by default that some operating systems can't even open them.

    Classifieds accept .jpg, .jpeg and .gif extensions. They do not accept .png, .bmp (bitmap) or other image formats. Usually between 90-95% of all ads have images in case anyone wonders if the upload works.

    Scott. I did not mean to be disrespectful, believe me. I just wanted to know how to upload my jpeg images.
    Not really a user of forums, not used to it, this daft 64 year old Scotsman would rather talk face to face with people.
    I will try it again tomorrow, and see if I can upload them.
    Cheers. Dave.

    There's a big photo upload button in the middle of the page as soon as the ad is place. Thereafter you can click the Add Photo button on your ad.
