OK, new plan…
😀
Try this:
Click on the image icon:
Then click on the folder icon and that should allow you to upload images:
Let’s give it a go.
Humm, I think I see a problem here.
Well that’s better. Both photos appear to be right side up on my I-pad but clearly there is something amiss here. I however have no idea what’s up (or down for that matter). I do love technology. Back to the drawing board for me.
Cheers and good gaming in whatever aspect you prefer.

Where are these images being saved, Mike? Have you got a terabyte sized server or service? Most people are not familiar with how to take a picture out of an iPhone which can be several megabytes in size and shrink it down to kilobytes yet keep a fairly physically large picture.
yes it is a 1TB server, but one of the trial things is to see how the space stacks up.
I can buy a bit of plug in software that compresses the files but that will involve cash, so I may have to restrict this function to Sponsors and Traders.
I will be keeping an eye on it.
All I do is select photo for email post (this compresses it) put that into a post folder and uploaded the photo to the forum.

Worked for me Mike.
Interesting Paul, I must look into that one. Back to Mike – is there anyway you can restrict file size being posted?
yup, sort of.

This is largely irrelevant apart from my own mental health point of view – but how did I lose this topic for a day after I posted my initial responses? I eventually posted a picture – no problems apart from the compression issue mentioned above, which I sorted out no problem -but on the Sponsor page because I couldn’t find this!
I’m going to lie down for some time.
Oh- great job Mike. Well done!
Aaaahhh!
I’ll get you for that!
Thanks – seriously, I was beginning to wonder how old I was for while there.
Seemingly so, on my fifth attempt. Wonder what I did right? Great stuff.

http://withob.blogspot.co.uk/Taking a crack at this now that photobucket is freaking out about my using images on forums. Will I pay them $400 a year for the privilege? No I will not.
I will naturally work to keep file sizes to a minimum – is there a preferred file size?
This is from an iPad.
I have resized the photo to 500 pixels wide using an app called IMAGE SIZE. Next I will rezize down to 250 wide.
The image is uploaded directly from the iPad itself, not a 3rd party server.
This is 7oo pixels wide. I have a paid for website that allow s me to upload images that are 700 pixels and below. It resizes automatically to prevent breach.
If I download this image back, it reads as having a file size of 32kb (that surprises me).
Smaller the better.
I normally just reduce the width to 700 pixels and the associated drop in size is often adequate
With photobucket becoming increasingly annoying it’s nice to have this facility.
Being used to Pendraken’s Forum where images need to me 128Kb or less if linked directly I use The GIMP to resize regularly.
