Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I have to ask ,spent all afternoon trying myself ,so at east I gave it a shot!.

OK! Have told the story in the post,,, now this is where I got stumped.

I!m on my iPad

I have an album with some pics in that I want to include for you to see.

They are too big ,the guy behind this screen told me

Ok so ,how do I resize them from my album and at the same time include them in my post

I can resize them in a email ,easy. But a post in the forum is not a email .yep, the guy behind told me !.


Anyone want to help me ,thanks

Yes phones take pictures that are too large for the forum. Here are instructions on resizing them before you upload them.

I take it the last line of your post should NOT be considered part of the instructions then????

Thanks Guys,

I,ll give it another shot ..

be nice ,not just for me, if there was a magic link on the main page that sizes the pic to suit backshed requirements. sort of like ipad has ,it sizes auto ,but you can elect to have one of three sizes.

but it only does it for e-mails .

Thanks again

Bruce

Send an email off to Microsoft for not providing a resize before upload function in their Os, and Apple for making such a crappy phone.

hi Glenn,

I think that email should be to myself for being computer dumb..

You would think by now this 73 yo idiot would be able to send photos.

there,s a kindergarden next door to my doctor,s place , I'll bribe a couple 3 yo,s to show me.

Link didnt open or the method described didnt work?

If it didnt open, it wasnt an actual link, you would have to copy/paste it into a new window

or click HERE

Another handy way to resize and host pics for the forums is https://postimages.org/

upload pics here

just bookmark that link and when you need to resize a pic go there and upload the pic from your computer, selecting size from the list (from 100x75 up to 1600x1200 or leave it the same size)- default is 640x 480 below

you can select the time its available (1 day up to indefinite)

it gives you a link (which gives you the standard hyperlink) or if you use the next selection (direct link) gives you the link that inserted in the forums 'add image' button (green tree button up the top of the posting window) gives a picture

eg
link
https://postimg.org/image/6z9jfm2b7/

direct link inserted in add image tag
