SuperGoose75 Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 So is there a convenient way of putting a photo on the forum from a smart phone? Is photobucket still a thing? I used to be able to upload from the laptop using that, but about 95% of my time on here is from using the phone. I'm not very savy at all when it comes to technology. It seems a breeze for some people to upload photos. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Click on the image.. select copy to clipboard. ... come onto the forum ... create a new post or go onto an existing one. Select add then right click and bingo. Er, I think off the top of head. Others will correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) You might have to digitally make your images smaller to fit on the forum. E.g. your picture might be 15 meg but you might be restricted to 5meg so the image has to be reduced. Try to upload and you'll get a message if the image size is too big. If too big go back and you should get options such as keep original size or make picture smaller. Play about until the pictures will upload.

Easiest way to get around this is screenshot the picture, then just crop the outside and it takes up very little space. I do it by clicking on add file, next to the paperclip below, I then click on add file and select the photo I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
