Title: How the “H” do i post pics!
Post by: sixbird on September 25, 2019, 06:44:31 PM
Can anybody school me on tapatalk regarding posting pics.? I've spent a few hours creating an acct (i think). Now, how do i use it on here to post pics? It just shouldn't be this difficult!

I see, six. Just tried uploading a fiddle box picture, and like you, too big.

I use flickr.com, super easy, upload to their site, copy the BBCode under share photo and sized for medium, and get this:

What program are you using to resize them? If you are using Paint I find first reducing by 75% and then by 25 always seems to do the trick, just be sure to save what you have done when it asks you. I have also found flicker.com to work but you have to be sure to choose the proper upload size or it is so huge you can't see it here.

I give up...I guess it's just not meant to be...
I put my email address in the field and it tells me email address not available, whatever that means...
Appreciate the try...
I don't know why this has to be so difficult. I can post pics. on Facebook all day long, no problem...

Listen, don't give up, I am not feeling well today but if you would want to get with me on the phone I will do my best to help you through it.

Are you doing it through computer or through your phone, if through the phone I will not be much help, I hate cell phones.

Edit: I just realized you are talking about taptalk, that is a cell phone thing, I would not be of much use to you.

I was trying to post from my phone since that's where the pics. are stored. Don't think I have a "paint" function on there.
I appreciate the responses but I think I've expended enough energy on this...I'll describe what I want to post in text...
