Posting pics.😡
« on: Today at 07:46:52 AM »
Now I’m not that clever when it comes to posting pics and computer ma bobs! Up until now I have never had any problems posting up until recently. If there is anybody else here posting from an iPad which I normally use for browsing, forum etc you might have encountered the same issue. I normally have my iPhone on me so that’s what I use to take most of my pics then it automatically links and updates to my iPad. Up until recently I select a pic to attach to a post then at the bottom of the pic I had the option to resize - large, medium etc but now that option is gone.😡 Problem now is the photos are too large in format terms to post. I don’t really know if I’ve done something or was it after a software update? I have got round the issue I now have to screen shot and edit the pics to enable me to post. It’s a nuisance but more than one way to “skin a cat”! What a horrible saying! I’m too much of a pussy person to even considerate it!😂😂

Can't you transfer them to a PC or laptop where it might be easier? I never took photos with my secret smartphone, yes secret because it is for 999 and paypal verification mostly ....SHE doesn't know it exists. I hate the things so much I chucked the last one in the Thames!  ;D

Often easiest to use Flikr and paste the BB Code no resizing needed .

I don’t know if this is your issue, but I had an issue with Iphone photos following an IOS update. Following the update my Iphone was saving the photos as HIEC files. I couldn’t look at these photos on my laptop unless I converted them to JPEG.

It’s a PITA as all existing photos have been converted to HIEC, I keep meaning to see if there is an easy way to change the saved HIEC photos back but haven’t had chance yet.

You can disable HEIC on your iPhone in Settings - Camera - Formats and selecting ‘Most Compatible’ instead of ‘High Efficiency.’ This will save all future photos in JPEG format.

I often just do a screenshot using Snipping Tool in Windows. Resolute enough and not s massive file ... so posts easily.

Johnny, on your iPhone can you change the camera resolution to a smaller file size? 3mb or less and they will then post ok. 🤞

There are websites that will convert HEIC to JPEG for free.

I’ve used them in the past.

Practice. That's a gsxr screen shot...all the screenshots are in kB but all my phone piccies are mb so maybe screenshots of photos are the way forward. What's the max size for piccies?
