Man this uploading pictures is rough with an iPhone. Downloaded the Pixlr app and got it resized... now it says it takes up to much memory. So now what? Anybody have an idea?

You can try to send the photo to yourself in an email. Many times when you attach a photo to an email you have an option on which file/picture size to use. You can also use a free web hosting sight like Flickr or imgr and put a url link in your narrative. I used photobucket for years until they quit allowing you to link to your photo without a paid membership fee.

Another option is email the photo to another forum member and have them post the photo for you.


I have been using an Ipad and Iphone for the seven years and got to the point I never use a desk top or lap top computer. Posting pictures with an IPhone is possible just a little more challenging because of the screen size.

Ok I'll try one of the host sites. I tried the email thing too and didn't work. Thanks!

I finally went to Flickr. It is easier than resizing and uploading. And they're BIG.

What is the max allowable picture size?

[Wargrendeleagle]

I see some pictures and some I don't see. Alot of them say attached thumbnails but never see a picture. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Do you see my last picture? I use Flickr and think the pictures are visible to everyone but I am only assuming. I don't see most Photobucket pictures posted on websites.

Sometimes if someone uploads a jpeg to the forum you have to logged into the forum to see the photo. If you use a direct link to a web hosting site the photo normally show up. Flickr identifies their link as a bbc code. Some sites like google photos won’t let you inbed the photo via bbc code/link but you can put a link to your photo on google photos. You have to click on the link to be redirected to see the photo.


bj139 I can see your photo using my iPad.

Thanks. That's good to know. I always just assumed someone would say if they could not see it.

[Wargrendeleagle]

Yeah I saw yours just fine. But alot of folks I just see the paperclips and says attached thumbnails. BluntForceTrauma is one I can never see pictures of. Sometimes I really want to see the pictures too! For instance further up I cannot see GjGary's pic but I can see bj139 and JJA Guns. I'm very curious

WGE, What device are you using to view this site?

[Wargrendeleagle]

Using Android, on a OnePlus 6 with chrome as the browser

[Wargrendeleagle]

Well it works if I view it as desktop site. But it then makes harder to read without zooming in. I'll download another browser and try that

Anothrr way from your phone to downsize the pic that will work is to do s screen shot then post the screen shot. Works from Andriod and some I-Phones while other I-phones save the file in an un reconized format.

Most of the pics I post here I also post on another foum and jsut link that Pic URL location to the post here, works like a champ and that site has a pic resizer built in.

For pics I do on the phone If I plan on posting I will drop the image size to 4MP which makes them small enough to post

Aside from the email method, what’s the best way for an iPhone user to resize within the 1500x1500 limit? Looking for an app to do it but can’t find one.
Emailing and resizing killed the photo quality when I tried it. Trying up upload my completed build! Thanks.

I think the best way is to use a web hosting site. I’m currently using Flickr which is free. Several members use Imgur and other web hosting sites.

With Flickr I upload my photo to the Flickr site then paste the BBC code in my narrative on this forum. BBC code is a hot/direct link to photo on Flickr and photo appears at selected size in narrative. Google photos don’t have the hot link but you can put a link where you can click to get directed to your photo.


Here is a thread that gives information and screen shots on how the Flickr site looks when uploading pictures. Flickr has an app but you really need to let it upload all your pictures off your device. By using the website I control what pictures go on my Flickr account.
