Unable to post pictures from laptop.

FLYING BANANA · 4th January 2018, 16:35

Prior to the forums downtime before Christmas I had no problem in posting photo's straight from my photo album. But now every time I try I keep getting the 'image has failed to load' flag.
I've tried re-sizing, changed to Google Chrome, gone through every option I can think of but to no avail.

Not keen to switch to any of the hosting sites, so anyone got any other idea why it should fail to load.

Bob
I've just uploaded photo's as an attachment no problem, But I know others add them in different ways . The only thing with this method is that you have to click on the photo's to enlarge them

.
I have noticed some photo's you can view without logging in and others you have to log into view

, Will be interesting to hear how other members post photo's

I tried on my phone but there's no paperclip and the add url function just added a small square that had nothing in it

I post photos via Flickr but I think Bob is trying to upload directly to the clubs own image hosting facility. Can't offer any guidance as I don't use it.

Did this uploading feature ever get sorted as i am trying to upload and every time it fails.
It used to work fine and i do not want to join any hosting sites.
regards Dave.

Have you tried re-sizing the photo's? That's the only way I can get them onto here without going through a third party.

Do you use any form of photo editing?
Most photo computer picture albums give you the opportunity to re-size.

Goldrover · 1st October 2018, 19:39

only windows and cannot see an editing feature to resize , I can altering colour, red-eye etc.
maybe i'm not looking in the right place?
