Ok really new to the botl as I am sure you can tell. If this isn't where I should post something like this sorry, I didn't see a "im a dumbass help me forum." I tried searching and got pretty bad result and the similar threads didn't really help me either. So what's the best way to post pictures from a mobile phone. The picture buttons seems to always say image is too big. I did get the media thing to work but not sure if that's really the way I should be posting images. Thanks for the help guys.

This is how iv gotten it to work so far is this a good way to do it. View media item 47115

I personally use Photobucket. It's free. You upload your pics to it, copy the IMG link and paste it into your post. The pictures appear nice and big. Very simple.

I'm with you on Tapatalk; just not a fan. (n) Let me know if you have any issues with Photobucket. It took me a couple tries to do it right (as technical stuff is starting to escape me in my old age :rolleyes: ) The Photobucket phone app is user-friendly, and the uploads are fairly quick...

I open the picture then take a snapshot of my phone. This creates a new photo that is very small in size. Open that picture and crop the photo down and it will upload fast, and look great on the forum.
