Seems to be working alright for me so im counting out it being a Hotmail problem, are you working behind a firewall or had issues with your connection?
​

 

[Maz]

Hmmmmm possible firewall .. no connection issues

Zip file is 29.6 MB is that too big to send on e-mail ??

What does hotmail tell you the maximum file attachment size is? Also if it's that big and you don't have a fast upload speed, you could be experiencing server timeout issues.

 

[TheCake]

Yes Maz. WAY too big.

 

[MikeDX]

you will be better off trying an upload service such as yousendit.com or putfile.com

Got a feeling, depending on how long you've had your hotmail account, there is a limit of 10mb per email.... Tho it would normally just state that rather than kicking you out with an error message.

Perhaps split the amount of files in the zip and send in a few emails, or try zipping just 1 file and sending that...

 

[Maz]

oh bloody hell .. why is nothing simple .. there is only 11 pics too

 

[Griff]

11 pics!! What format Maz? I bet they're not jpg's.

 

[MikeDX]

Ditch hotmail

get gmail

and try and compress them better, use jpg, not bmp...

 

[TheCake]

Why not resize the pics and then send them

2408x2408 high quality jpegs I bet.

 

[Maz]

Sure can. that will be your best bet.

You could resize the images, that may make things easier. do they have to be in such a high resolution/quality?

 

[Maz]

They have to be high res as they are for a newsletter ..

Please can someone explain to me (idiots guide) the best way to do this ??

Thanks

 

[Maz]

ha ha ha that will be a big fat no then ....

Why not send them one at a time.
If you can reduce the picture size then open the pictures in paint then go to Imgage-. Sketch/Skew -> then enter a percentage reduction in the horizontal and vertical size (has to be the same % otherwise the picture will not look right) then click ok and save the picture if you reduce in size by 50% horizontal and 50% vertical will make a file about one quarter the size.

If you can delete some of the picture like I did here
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=139039 then the file will get smaller.

If you haven't sorted it by the morning I'll help you sort it Maz.
