Apologies if I'm being dopey but when I try to attach a photo from my phone (a fairly basic Motorola smartphone) to a message on this forum, the photo is always far too large a file size. What do I need to do to take/attach photos that are the correct size? Thanks.

There are several websites where you can enter a photo and get it immediately reduced to the required size.


Can't remember the names offhand but a quick Google should bring them up.


Alternatively, any photo editing software would be able to do it, I think.


As you say, it's the file size which needs to be reduced, not the dimensions of the photo.

I just used wwww.iloveimg.com which was very quick and easy and automatically compressed my photo to the correct size for the ED Forum without my having to put the required size in.


If you had more than one photo to attach to one post, you would need to use another website though, as the photos would need to be compressed to a smaller size (but you could always attach one photo to each of the following posts)


I couldn't find the website I used to use :(

Too many wubbleyous: it's https://www.iloveimg.com.


Cropping can be useful if any of the image is superfluous. Resizing will probably be the your main stratagem. Bearing in mind that even a laptop screen may be only 1200 pixels wide, an image with sides of just a few hundred pixel will usually be adequate. For a free image editor to install on a home computer running Windows, I'd recommend https://www.irfanview.com.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
