I was reading a post where someone wrote that they couldn't post a picture because the image was bigger than 1MB. As many of you know this forum is set up to accept pictures of maximum size 1MB. It also has a lifetime limit that once you exceed, you can post no more pictures on any post. I'm sure we're all missing out on some great fig-pics because of this. I know some of you have already figured out ways around this but for those of you who spend more time with your trees than on a computer then 1) I commend you and 2) here's a step by step method on how to insert images hosted through a free image service. I used this method to post the pictures on this very post. If you run into any snags let me know and I'll do my best to clarify. Here we go: You've likely run into one or both of the following errors: OR SOLUTION - In another browser go to: https://postimg.org - Then click on "Choose Images" Select image from your computer and click OK Drag over and copy the "Direct Link" Now go back to your post in the forum and click the little "add image" icon Instead of "My Computer", select "Web Address (URL) - Then paste the link you copied earlier There you are - The image is linked from the image hosting service. Click OK and watch the image drop itself into your post. You can preview it in your post And there it is. There are no unreasonable size limits and you can upload as many pics as you like. All FREE I hope some of you find this useful __________________ Zone 6 Guildwood Village - Toronto, Canada Seeking: Panache, Really great unknowns

Thank you Joe. I compared it to Calderwood you mentioned and they don't seem to be the same. I'll keep searching for the huge leaf variety. Thank a lot. __________________ Jasmine, New Taipei City, Taiwan Wish list: Ponte Tresa......

Nice tutorial Joe. One major drawback with linking pictures like this is that the post no longer makes sense once the pics are deleted from the external site and the post is just left with broken links. Can be very frustrating when searching old posts. __________________ Don - Columbus, OH. Zone 5b/6a Wish list: Rafed/Adriano's Genovese Nero, Your favorite fig.

Hey Don. That's actually why I use this host. They have an option so post the image with no expiration. So in theory as long as they're in business...the images should stay there.... In theory.... Hopefully better than nothing anyhow.... __________________ Zone 6 Guildwood Village - Toronto, Canada Seeking: Panache, Really great unknowns

I would try to reach one of these guys: Adriano - He is one of the grand masters of figs. Don't email Adriano. You need to call. He's old school and has more varieties than anyone else I know of - http://www.adrianosfigtrees.com -If you speak a few words of Portuguese it'll all the easier. or Steven Biggs - AKA The Fig Pig and and noted fig author. http://www.grow-figs.com Both in my neck of the woods and among the foremost fig guru's... They come from two dynamically different ends of the spectrum. Adriano is established wisdom and experience - Steven is a scientist, agriculturalist and author. These's guys have much more wisdom than I. If I were you I'd try one of them. If its about figs and they don't know it...it may not be known... __________________ Zone 6 Guildwood Village - Toronto, Canada Seeking: Panache, Really great unknowns

I must say that this photo is most interesting and I believe that the tree must be huge in order to produce such leaves. I don't recall seing any of my trees in pot producing such large leaves. Joe, perhaps you could start a new thread titled "figs with the largest leaves" or something like that and see what others might have to say. __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane

LOL! OK! Seriously - As part of my work I subscribe to a stock image service and I just used that image. I have no idea where that particular image came from...I wish I did. Personally, I'm all about eating figs... I could handle a no-leaf tree that produced lots of tasty figs __________________ Zone 6 Guildwood Village - Toronto, Canada Seeking: Panache, Really great unknowns

Joe, perhaps you could start a new thread titled "figs with the largest leaves" or something like that and see what others might have to say. In my experience growing conditions can affect the size of leaves. When in shade, even varieties that usually don't have large leaves can produce them in order to harvest enough sun light. Here's a couple of examples: When moved to full sunlight the same varieties produce much smaller leaves. __________________ Jaime - Zone 9b - near Caldas da Rainha - Portugal Wish List: São Luís, Valamandil, Sofeno Tradicional, Cótio, Cavaleiro, Belmandil, Coll de Dame de Ciutat, Strawberry Verte, Marabout, Sihagi.

Someone should probably start a separate post on leaves. It might confuse some who came for the image turorial. __________________ Zone 6 Guildwood Village - Toronto, Canada Seeking: Panache, Really great unknowns

I know you can go to your own posts individually, click "edit" and delete previously uploaded images but I don't know if it will correct the problem. __________________ Zone 6 Guildwood Village - Toronto, Canada Seeking: Panache, Really great unknowns

Bump, still hoping for this issue to be resolved. Wrote the following for further simplicity. Hope that you don't mind Joe. Go to http://postimg.org register an account for free. Then click on chose images icon to find photo from your device and upload it. Click Done. When photo uploads click on thumbnail for forums to copy then paste in your post. You will have to copy the URL for forum at postimg and then paste over here. When you click on the thumbnail it will copy it automatically then you come over here and paste it. There are several urls that you can copy and paste when you click on share, the one that says thumbnail for forum will show the photo in the post and not the link. __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane
