How to post pics?

I have been all over this and other forums with no luck trying to find a thread on how to post a picture in threads/replies?

I found a way to link to album photos on my profile but even that upload tool leaves a lot to be desired. Yet I see tons of ppl seemingly posting pics with ease...what is the secret sauce I am missing?

Thanks in advance

You can
A)
In google photos.
#1 move a photo to a shared album
#2 view the photo. them right click "copy image address"
#3 Post here
#4 Try in internet explorer (or any browser you are not logged into) to confirm it works

All the above assumes you use chrome and google photos.

Option B is to
select the photos you want to share
Right click then click on "send to" then to "mail recipient"
This ask you to resize the photos and then attach them to a email
you can then save the resized pictures from the email and upload them to your gallery here.

This assumes you have a mail client configured on your PC.

I ended up opening a Photobucket account and upload the pics in there. Then select your photo in Photobucket and copy the "IMG" link on the right hand side. Paste in your post and remove the first and last [] brackets to unlink them. Preview and post afterwards. I'm pretty sure there are better ways, but thats what I've been doing to post here lol.

Use the paper clip attachment icon. It's under the advanced options on replies. That should open a second window where you can upload photos. Hope this helps.

Well thats much easier then my way...

Cool thanks guys! So it seems sizing will be the hangup on posting quickly from my phone (iphone 7plus). But at least I have a few options to play around with now...appreciate it.

Get my car back from Xpel (front/impact areas) and Ceramic Pro Gold (full interior & exterior) sometime this week so gonna need to figure all this out!

It also has a button down below in the "additional options" section where you can manage attachments and post videos/images etc. :cheers:

Once the "Upload" window pops up, if you scroll down it gives you limits as to how big a file can be. JPEG's are capped at 2.19 mb.

Update - The method above seems to be the easiest to use from an iPhone. I open my camera, select the pics and email them to myself with 'medium' or 'large' size. Then open the email and save the images back to my phone. Then I can select them from the 'attachments' button as described in this thread when posting.

This works awesome! I couldn't get pics posted for the life of me, even after switching layouts. The Email trick works great...just select medium to have 100% success when you send the pic.

Is this how you post your own pic in reply to a thread?
