If your phone photo files are large you need to resize them first. Resizers can be downloaded for free. The resizer will create another album in the gallery for the photos you resize. The original image remains the same.

Also if you can get the pic to edit feature, rotate it a full turn and it will post right side up and not sideways... :goldtooth:

When I want to upload the photo to be seen without a link, I use a photo editing software to edit and resize, save to the device, then upload to the forum.
I use an iPad or laptop for all of my posting’s. The little tiny key pad on the phone drives me nuts trying to type. using a voice recognition software doesn’t work well until I teach the phone how to swear and use slang terminology. :biglaugh:

I use Imgur to host the pics I want to put online. I am sure it will happily upload whatever pics you want off your phone through the app and then you use the link they provide to put the pic into a forum post. No farting with image sizes or anything this way and people reading can open the picture full size if they want to see the detail, rather than being stuck with the small picture size the forum limits you to.

I use Imgur for hosting a lot of my website photos. I like some of the links available for html coding. But…. I lost a bunch of older photos on Imgur I cannot locate to save my life. Don’t know what happened there. Kirk

Also longcruise info will help you.
But posting pictures from the phone is the same process as on a pc.
You just have to navigate to where your pictures are stored and then select the one you want.
Biggest problem with cell phones is they take humongous size pictures and need reduced in size before posting in trad gang. So it's best to edit downsize any pictures you want to post first.

There is no preview for pictures.
So after you click insert picture, then just click the post button like you do to send your text message.

I discovered after some trial and error, that picture files have to be less than 600kbs to load onto this websites platform. For me its a lot easier to upload pics from phone/camera to computer and then resize or do editing.
The forum software has become much more user friendly than it used to be and auto resizes most photos. For a long time you had to resize everything to max of 640 width. And uploading photos from a digital camera to your computer was a bit more challenging too.
The easiest photo editing software I found, and I still use it today is Microsoft picture manager. I think they dropped that free software when Windows 10 came out, but it can still be found and down loaded separately to your system.
The one I still struggle with is video editing. I have tried a bunch of different software, and most of it is not very user friendly at all. Finding something that you can easily trim and edit, then upload to you tube or Imgur is tough to find. Video editing is very time consuming too.
With these phone cameras becoming so advanced, and so many options for photo storage and editing, it’s pretty amazing. I’m going to play with phone videos a bit that auto upload to the cloud, and see how that works out.

I'm in the same boat on video. Especially resizing. Can't find a usable app for it.
This photo sizer is easy to use in conjunction with posting. Easy to crop rotate and size

I use an iPad a lot, but the lap top is easier for photo stuff. Kirk
