I Auto resize to 800x600

Then click add images, then I open my photo gallery and drag and drop

Over the last couple months I've been using a VPN more often and Imgur has been acting up with that the last couple weeks, sometimes not letting me in until I shut the VPN off, but it has been intermittent and not consistent.

Post by: Crooked Stic on April 20, 2023, 07:56:47 AM: I usually use my phone to take the pics and click on the + at the bottom of Imgur and that opens my gallery then click the pic I want then add a title and click next is when it tells me it will be soon but never loads.

Post by: kennym on April 20, 2023, 09:24:23 AM: I use my Ifone to post pics,and when I select pic, at bottom I can select size(really small font) and pick medium. If I pick actual size, it won't load. Prob not what you have but look at bottom of pic when you select , maybe?? :thumbsup:

Post by: Kirkll on April 20, 2023, 01:17:03 PM: I use imgur for all my website photos and links. It's nice to be able to import the html codes right into my own coding when i'm editing things... Its working fine for me... I think you have a phone setting issue.

But for every day photos i take with my phone, I use google photos. I've got it set up to where it automatically uploads the pictures at slightly less than full sized and i get unlimited free storage from google. You can set it up where it only uploads when you have wifi, or anywhere using your data quota. I have unlimited data on my plan, so i can upload photos from where ever i have phone service...

A lot of times a phone or PC just needs to be completely shut down and rebooted to function properly. That’s a bit different than uninstalling an app, and reinstalling it…. Also apps on a phone or mobile device are different than a PC app.

If all else fails, give it to your grandson or grand daughter to figure out. :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
