calibre792x57.y Posted 16 January , 2012 Share Posted 16 January , 2012 I acquired this about thirty years ago. It is hand carved and about the size and shape of a rounders bat with a 4inch sharpened steel spike in the business end and three rows of distinctive pentagonal headed boots studs around the head. But which Army used these studs? And can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong when I try and post a photo of the club and get a message that I am not permitted to upload this type of file?? - SW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calibre792x57.y Posted 16 January , 2012 Author Share Posted 16 January , 2012 What type of file format is it? Daniel Well, I'm virtually computer illiterate but I use Picasa 3 and it appears as a JPG file. The forum rejects in this format as too large to upload. So I upload it to a Picasa Web Album, reduce it in size, send it back to the Pictures file and try and attach from there. But the Forum won't accept it.

centurion Posted 16 January , 2012 Share Posted 16 January , 2012 See if you can open it in Paint (which if you are using Widows you will have) and then save it (with a different name) as a JPG file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wade Posted 16 January , 2012 Share Posted 16 January , 2012 Post the url. Or instead just paste the url in your reply box and enclose it in image tags: [/img] and (swap these around first - I had to write them the wrong way round or they won't show as they try to show an image instead) with the url pasted in between them. It will show on the forum page then and the size rules don't apply. Except for someone on 'dial up' who'll curse at a large file being downloaded and taking ages... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calibre792x57.y Posted 16 January , 2012 Author Share Posted 16 January , 2012 The problem seems to be that the Web Album is storing it as a HTML file - SW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wade Posted 16 January , 2012 Share Posted 16 January , 2012 If you can see the picture in your browser then right click it and select 'view image' and it should show as the jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom W. Posted 16 January , 2012 Share Posted 16 January , 2012 And can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong when I try and post a photo of the club and get a message that I am not permitted to upload this type of file?? I got this from Wiki: "Picasa uses picasa.ini files to keep track of keywords for each image." If your image is labelled "trenchclub.ini" the forum won't accept it. It has to be "trenchclub.jpg."

Andy Wade Posted 17 January , 2012 Share Posted 17 January , 2012 It would be better to use Flickr or Photobucket for online photo storage then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
