Hi Everyone, this may be a dumb question, but I am trying to post a picture of a coin and I'm getting this error.
Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
Operation not Allowed
/forum/outputFile.asp, line 13
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

Thanks Lafaa, that is it. It's 4.3 MB. Do you know any tricks on how to lower that pic to under 90 KB?

try going to the button PICTURE, then go all the way down to compress, and then click(on the right bar) web pages, and finally click OK

Lafaa's idea is a good one. Or, you can upload it to Photobucket and use the link they give you to post here. Then there's no size limit. These are much large than 90KB but I still posted them via Photobucket.   |

A Photobucket account is completely free and signing up is easy.
A double die? I have no clue. It was part of some silver I sold a while ago.

Contrary to popular belief, 90K is plenty big enough...  Even for obverse and reverse.   |

We prefer people don't use Photobucket or other image hosting sites to post pics, because pictures there often expire - which makes the thread useless in a year or two's time. Once an off-site picture is deleted, the link is broken and it's deleted from here as well. Try shrinking it down and uploading it into your post, if at all possible.
Some tips for shrinking it down:
- make sure it's saved as a JPEG (.jpg) file. Windows bitmaps are way too big.
- use a graphics editor to crop away everything that isn't coin, like wheatguy has done. We don't really need to see more of the background than is absolutely necessary.
- now use the compression option in your photo editor program to reduce the size, if necessary. A resolution between 300x300 and 500x500 pixels is plenty for the forum and should easily fit into the 100kb file size limit.
Lafaa: I scan coin pics at 300 or 600 dpi resolution to get pics that size. I'd be surprised if your scanner can't go that high.
Once you get to 50 posts, you can apply for a space in the CCF Gallery, where the file size restrictions are much more generous.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I have a Mac, and I'm not sure that Iphoto has a compression feature. Does anyone know how to do this on a MAC?

Alright, maybe I won't use Photobucket, since it seems to take up too much of the forum's bandwith. I've gotten used to posting pictures via Photobucket, but maybe I'll have to change that now. Is the main problem with the pictures expiring, or the taking up of too much bandwith?
Lafaa, I'm not sure, most likely the doubling is a side effect of the photos.
