I tried to load this with blue cross but did not work we need bit more help with this please.
What help do you need?

The process is basically the same as the attach file routine with one additional step - once you have browsed to the file you want to upload and clicked on the upload button, wait for the file to be uploaded. When this is complete you will be shown a paste to post button which inserts the picture in the post text - this means you can add text above and below the image. There is no resizing of the image involved so the quality should be identical to flickr etc.

The attach file routine DOES resize over large images and WILL degrade the image, just as RAW to jpeg loses 3/4 of the pixels the resize will lose pixels depending on the degree of resizing - halving the width & height will lose another 3/4 of the remaining pixels leaving only 6% of the original RAW image.

Attaching the file appears to be faster, but the file is attached AFTER the post button is pressed rather than being included within the post text.

The advantage of using the blue cross is also that the image is included in your gallery and can be reused without needing to upload it again, the URL of the gallery image can also be used on other sites or emailed.

If you have problems with the upload, let me know and I will try and help :crossed
