It still bothers me to see people uploading 3 pages that deal with the same subject uploaded as 3 different WS.
I uploaded 3 pages in color with images and lots of stuff, and had no problems.
Some people upload even more than that.
Why make people upload 3 times (and use their points) when in reality they could have it in one?
Is this a point thing again?
If possible - everyone should do this.

Business is business. Price for 3 eguals 3. And price for 3 in 1 costs just one. Funny teacher �s and student �s trick. Life is life. :):):) some people is a bit more economic rather to be more generous. :) Good luck. |

Hi libertybelle: in fact I agree with you... I �m new here but I think it would be much easier to download ws about one topic once than finding all the parts and downloading them separately. But, you know what? I tried to uplaod today something with seven pages but I thought that the size would be bigger than the accepted one ,so I had to divide the papers into three groups... and again I succeeded to uplaod only two while I failed with the third . I wish I could find a way to make the image sizes smaller so I can avoid the need tp divide my worksheets. I don �t know if you can suggest a program that can helpp me reduce the images size....
Have a nice day! |

Hi guys!
It is not always the points. It might be the size restrictions.
I myself have just uploaded 3 pages dealing with the same subject. And I �m not after the points. I have more than enough to download for a lifetime even without contributing anymore.
In my case each doc is over 200kb. I tried NXpoerlite to reduce the size and compressing the pictures - it worked but then the whole stuff became blurry. I �d rather upload different doc with clear images than one multiple pages doc with blurry pictures. That �s how I feel.
Have a great night,
Gabitza

I understand Gabitza- -but I �m talking about one black and white worksheet vs
3 color pages with images -I can do it, so can the others.
Miss Serentity
You can start by compressing in Word.
I use, like Gabitza - NXPowerlite. My images don �t get blurry.
You can also make a screen capture, open it in a paint program and insert it as a jpg.
That will keep all your images in one place and might it much lighter, but I find the images and especially the text does get a bit blurry.

I don �t think we, downloaders, should worry.
Personally when I notice sth like this I just download one of the "pseudo-similar works", then I turn the pics to B&W myself, so if there are speculators trying to get more points, they won �t get them from me, at least! |

If it �s a size issue, I understand the uploaders. 300kB isn �t that much (though enough for me), and not everyone is a �compressing expert �.
Personally, I absolutely dislike worksheets with �page captures � to compress size, since this makes it impossible to edit any of the content and, believe it or not, sometimes this is really necessary when you �re teaching in a different part of the world.

I agree Philip - and I don �t do that either, on the other hand I really check out those big jpg ws before downloading. I know Katiana uses this technique. It works for her. But most WS have to be corrected or edited before I use them.
I do like the NXpowerlite, but I also found out that while working on a ws, the file gets bigger and bigger. So when I �m finished, I copy and paste into whole new page and save and it it often much lighter than the one I worked on.
ps - I think everyone should try to find out ways to lighten their files. Like I wrote, a while back many of us contributed to a new server. It would be a shame if Victor had to go out and buy a new one again.
I´m sure it doesn´t take long to learn how to reduce wss.
