I'm posting this because the newest information I could find on this is three years old. It seems after reading that, my brain, or what's left of it, turned into gelatinous glop.

 

Needless to say I am computer illiterate. Aside from using bucket o' photos, or Facebook, there's got to be an easy way. Help!

I thank everyone for your quick response. It is an Android version 10. And, yes, I do have a few pictures on there that I would like to post.

Mike, thanks for the detailed tutorial. I’ve been contemplating posting some various pics, and I’ve been surprised at the quality of chassis photos (for instance) that I can take with my iPhone 7 (I get the hand-me-downs), without bothering with a digital camera. I’m wondering whether this procedure to go direct from my phone is easier than sending the same pics from my PC (which are downloaded to a folder from iCloud)?

I often have to use a photo editor to get my phone cameras pictures reduced in size due to the 2KB (?) limit.

Richard,

 

The attachment limit for Full Members is 1.95 MB. That's the size limit for the total of the attachments to a single post.

FWIW, you should consider applying JPEG compression to your photos. Just a small bit of compression can reduce file sizes dramatically and is more effective than reducing the actual image size.

Mark, after  talking to you last night at the track, I tried using the browser on my iPhone and really couldn't see how this could be done easily and then I realized that this was set up to use the Tapatalk app. Generally I don't use my phone for much besides phone calls (what a concept!) and had never posted anything to Slotblog via my phone. So, I downloaded the Tapatalk app and that makes things a ton easier (although I'm not a fan of Tapatalk) to upload pictures and do whatever on your phone. 

 

Look for that app and download and then search for slotblog and it will all be clear to you. I can help next time I see you.

MSwiss, I took the time to carefully read your posts. Much to my surprise, I succeeded. Today's my birthday so, maybe there is something to the saying, with age comes wisdom. And, lost car keys, and lost bank cards ,etc.

 

I cannot thank you enough for conveying a clear and concise explanation of how to post. I'm not a big drinker and seeing as how you're not here, can I just tell you that I'm having a drink for you?
