How to Upload Photos
Each photo must be of the type jpeg or gif. This means that it must be an
image of this type and the filename must have this type of extension as well,
such as myhouse.jpg.
To upload the photos, first go to your personal listing page, either directly through
the link sent to you by email, by a shortcut, by typing in your personal listing page
address (such as www.allthelistings.com/home/details/4343, use your listing number)
or by searching from the front page of the site by number or location.
In any case, once you are on your personal listing page you can choose Add/Delete Pictures
from under Owner Functions on the lower part of the left navigation bar. You'll next be
asked for your password. Enter the password you used when you first created the
listing. If you don't have a password or can't remember it, email us with your
listing number for password help. Click the Enter button on the screen after entering your password.
You should now be at the photo upload screen. Use the dropdown on the left to choose which
picture number you are uploading (start at 1), use the Browse button to point to the picture
in the location on your system. When you have chosen the picture number and the picture name,
click the Upload button. Be sure to change the picture number to 2 for your next picture
to keep the first. You are allowed a maximum of six pictures. If you picture upload hangs
or fails, hit stop on your browser and try again. Be patient, if you are on a modem connection
it can take a while! If it fails a second time, it is probably because you picture is
not a valid gif or jpg or because it it too big. Remember, it must be 60K or less in size.
The maximum picture size is 60K, don't attempt to upload a file larger than 60K
since it will not be successful. A properly sized photo would be about
350 x 200 pixels which would give a filesize of around 20K for a jpg.
Windows users can view the file size in by choosing
to show details in the Windows explorer. From the View Menu, Choose Options and also
uncheck the box that says Hide MS-DOS File Extensions so you can see what type
of file you have.
If your image is too large, you need to make it smaller. You can do this with graphics software
such as Adobe Photoshop or the software that came with your scanner or digital
camera. You can try a web based photo sizing service such as this Free online
GIF/JPEG Image Compression
There are also many shareware programs available for free from sites such
as download.com or
winfiles.com
If you are still unable to upload your files you can email them to us
E-Mail info@allthelistings.com
and we can assist you in resizing and posting them at no charge.
If you need to have the photos scanned, try a local print shop or Kinkos, who should
be able to do this for just a few dollars. Please don't send photos to us by mail, as we do
not have the ability to offer this service.
