Hopefully this short little tutorial might help those that have trouble with not having java on their computer and thus haveing trouble uploading a photo. My computer quit and I had to get a new machine and I knew it did not have java installed, so I figured it was a good time to try and do this. I hope you find it helpful.

Well done Jeff.
That should help posting by new users, and even some of us "old" ones.
However, I usually use the preview button to see that there are no surprises before clicking the "post" button.
Thanks
You must have had a premonition? ;D
I rarely use the preview. I hit post then scramble with the modify button. :)
Very cool, Jeff.
Looks much easier than resizing with another program, then putting in the gallery. Thanks, Jeff. Will try it tomorrow after the blizzard hits here and I have some time.
Nuts! >:(
I tried what you did and got about 12 windows and a bunch more installs. Then the PC rebooted. Then I come back to life and back to the Forum and still no Java uploader.
It may be blocked?
I go to my "Manage Add-Ons" and Sun Microsystems, inc is there with three lines.
Java Plug in 1.6.0_23 Enabled
Jave SE Runtime Env... Disabled
Jave plug in 2 SSV ... Enabled.
Well, I "enabled" the "disabled" and got a picture upladed after a bit of work. But then I went to post a picture and my internet sesion went cabluie (or however you spell it). >:(
Let me post this and try putting the picture in again.

There! I'm up to modern times now! 8)
That photo brings up several questions. :D
I got the answers. 8) He has lint on his socks, he only has one paint leg and he needs new shoe strings.
Those goat stinkers are just broken in. ;D
Them old Redwings are as old as my granddaughters! I get new laces but only replace one at a time and then after it's been broken and retied so many times they're too short.
I got a pair of "good" boots I wore to the office and now when we dress up to go out. They're even older than these.
It's about time to replace the string in the right shoe. :)
Just so people are aware - there is a gremlin in the Java uploader where if the image has too much detail it won't be compressed enough to upload.
This one for example

I had to massage that one and increase the compression to get the file small enough, and upload it manually. 3 out of the 11 pics in the post would not upload, but they were all the "busy" ones.
Seems to mostly be a problem for me, but anyone else taking pictures in a rainforest may have similar issues. Any picture involving snow is not a problem as they compress just fine ;) :D
This one uploaded fine with Java, must be the brown areas compress a bit better.

Yup, that's the sort of thing I was referring to right at the end of the video. :)
I had the same problem with this photo.

i want to thank jeff for the new to me juploader on here for pics. and for anyone having problems with pictures please just watch this and pay attention. if i can do this , anyone can do this. a person does not get anymore technically challenged than me.
I just put in a bunch of pictures, and about midway Jeff PM'ed me to try the java uploader. Sad to say I was doing it the hard way, and they were coming out smaller. It took a few minutes of fooling around, and then fine. The uploader is much easier, and they are coming out better. Thanks for the advice Jeff, sorry I didn't figure it out sooner. :-\
