I've started a thread just entitled 'Photos and Video' so as not to hi-jack the more specific Ipad related thread already started, Hopefully this will give people the opportunity to discuss any general questions related to photos and perhaps to experiment posting.
Hope this helps.

The xmas bells are 68k BB, but they're not really there. They're on my Microsoft 'onedrive' with an active link. I've used the 'peedee' method: enter a bit of text, then drag and drop a photo from an open 'cloud' photo storage. It's a mystery how it works as it wasn't possible on the old website! (next photo is 600 pixels wide)
Recognize this spot BB?

I thought that I had the system beaten with posting photos from Onedrive and Google - not so, it appears. Captain Cook and my Xmas bells have gone! My photo of the town hall at La Croix Valmer remains, somehow. I may just give up and retire gracefully from CT.

The nonsense of the situation is that people have to be inventive in order to get a decent size picture to display. The method can't, it seems be universally applied, you seem to have to use a certain type of photo storage and certain type of picture program. Let's hope they can adjust the way photos are inserted into the forum as yet again it seems far to complicated. My view is that they should remove the five maximum photos allowed and move the "add photos" function to the menu bar above the text box. As photos have a URL they are not stored , or take up memory on the forum so they should appear the full width of the posting pane rather than appearing as a thumbnail. They should be automatically resized to posting pane width. It would be interesting to know what stands in the way of the Club achieving this?
