wtnhighlander Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Are you working from a browser on your computer, or your phone / tablet, or using TapaTalk? Photo attachment techniques may differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick S Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I use Chrome on a mac. I can't drag a photo straight from the Photos app to a post, I have to first drag it onto my desktop, then into the forum post. You might try copying the photo you want to post to your desktop first. That's what I did here- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjeff70 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Doesn't work for me dragging from the desktop using Mozilla on a Mac or on a Windows computer. Works when I click 'choose files' located next to the paper clip. Just select the file and presto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewoodwhisperer Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 The upload limit in the forum is set to 2MB. A 2MB image is way bigger than is needed for the forum. We have this limit in place to help prevent bloated storage. My suggestion would be to look into some basic image re-sizing software. Usually with just a few clicks, you can resize to something like 800x600, which will take the image WELL below 1MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is usually enough to cut a 2mb in half or more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I rarely upload pictures direct to the forum. I normally store my publically viewable photos elsewhere on the internet. I select the picture I want to show and copy its url. Then I click "Insert From Media" (in the new forum software) and select "Insert Image from URL". Then paste the url of the picture into the dialog box and click "Insert Into Post"The advantage of doing that is:you don't end up using forum disk space (the 2mb limit that Marc mentioned)you can display bigger more detailed picturesyou don't have to use any resizing software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I put photo's in just as Terry does. That also allows me to access those pics from any computer any place I happen to be traveling to as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 What?? Tapatalk auto resizes? Man i have wasted alot of time resizing photos...How does it work just insert image and youre done? Yep. On my 'droid phone, there is a camera icon in the toolbar when editing a post. Tap it, and select a photo from the gallery. The rest is magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've never had it complain about photos, and my standard snapshots are 2.5 - 4.0 mb each. It doesn't work with video, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisG-Canada Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm having trouble uploading pics from my iPad directly to a new post. It always says they pics are too big - even if they're not.I have been able to load the exact same photos to the gallery and then link them to a forum post.
