    Hei Folks.

    Im trying to play with ad campaigns.

    I have noticed that the photos are very big. Too big for columns they will be placed in.

    Question: How can i make the image size smaller.

    Where in the theme.css is the section for the Ad campaigns (image script)

    many Thanks

    Hei Donna..
    Got a couple of screenshots for you.

    Im looking for an image size roughly the size of the video image on the righthand side. As im thinking of using them to post jobs ads.

    Thanks Donna.

    Thank you for posting but can you please let me know the size of that image? The one you want in an ad.

    Hei Donna..

    How was your weekend...Oh and today...

    Hope it was super fantastical wild ride...

     

    About the image.

    Im thinking about a 150 x 150 pxl or maybe a 200 x 200 pxl ( just smaller than the profile photo size ).

    I think that a reasonable size. 
    If the image is supposed to resize naturally then im guessing it may do so the similar size i mentioned ?.

     

    Thanks Donna.

    Hi Mikel! My weekend and holiday (Martin Luther King) were great. I hope yours was too. I'll have to give the ad thing a test once I get a chance.

    Hmmm. I resized an image to be 150 wide. The ad doesn't have any issue with that size image. So I tried 200 and it seemed fine. (the image below has the 200 first and the 150 second just to be confusing lol)

    Are you sure you are resizing the images to either 150 or 200px wide?

    Hei Donna.

    Looking at your images, I reckon the ( image 1 ) is a better size. Looking at the image 1 the photo could be a size 225 x 225 or 212x212 ? to fit the Box in the side panel.

    How did you resize the image, in the script or in the theme.css, if themec.ss where about would i look to do the same ? 

    many thanks

    I use a free program called The Gimp to resize photos before posting them. I suggest you set sizes for your ads and only allow those sizes to be submitted if users are buying ads. Make sure to resize it 200px or maybe it will work a little bigger.
