Title: Process to post / upload images
Post by: callart23 on January 31, 2024, 11:58:22 AM
When you are trying to upload images onto your post, are those images viewable in the preview to you prior to posting it onto the forum page?
Is there a free process that folks on here are using to upload images?
I'm aware of photobucket.com - which charges a fee.
Looking for a free process to upload.
Curious why the prompts within the new message screen to choose file and attach are not working for me (yes I am using the correct file formats and confirming the file size is within guidelines).
I'm sure it's just a newbie operator error on my part.  I appreciate the input and guidance.  thanks all in advance.

I use an Android phone the way I do it is go to my photos and click share. Then will bring up different apps like text, Facebook etc. Tapatalk is displayed as well, click and it's there. It's fast and simple apparently because I am a Southern Louisiana Redneck!!

You do not have to pay. Please see this thread that Gobblenut mentioned above. http://oldgobbler.com/Forum/index.php/topic,116140.msg1164257.html#msg1164257

This site is very frustrating to post pics compared to other formats. I just tried to post in another thread and got an error message that I was over my allowed limit on photos with tapatalk. I think I've posted less than a dozen photos here over the years.
Other site formats are ridiculously user friendly with a simple link directly to your photos and they upload quick.

Tapatalk works for me. Always choose the lesser size option when loading.

I make it much easier if posting a pic from computer.  Open the pic you want with Paint.  Chose resize and chose the pixel option.  I usually shoot for around 250 pixels for a small pic.  If that size is a little small for details, then 500-800 for the larger pixel size (depending if it is portrait or landscape orientation) is a reasonable size for the forum.

I think you misunderstood, I would guess that it said you are over the size for the site. Even with Tapatalk it will not always use the biggest size. I do not use the program that much though, so I could well be wrong. I was once before, a long time ago, in 1982
