Tutorial for uploading photos and video

so, Chas...i guess you took this on a phone.....apple or android?

where does the photo get shunted to, in order to get it back to CT, and so large (the photo, not the burger....wot, only four chips?)

i failed dismally the other day from a windows machine, despite resizing correctly.

posting directly from an ipad (certainly to an avatar slot) requires Flash (ah-ah)...

If you want to use the forum option for posting a picture it will resize automatically now? The photo below is 1250x938 pixels and 381kb in size. Its not as neat as Chas's effort and only appears as thumbnail but it can be enlarged a bit by clicking on.

Really. I'll try so here goes.

Oh no it doesn't.  Same message as before must be less than 500kb

Sorry Bakers2, it will resize automatically if if the disk size is under 500kb I should have perhaps added. Depends which way you think of size. I tend  to think  in pixels!!!

It's not on a proper plate 😉

I'm using android phone. No resize facility but I can upload photos instantly to other sites and messages. It does it automatically. 😉

Hi BB, I took this photo on our dinky little Sony Cybershot, a compact camera that slips into a pocket. We're on our second, the previous one having developed a blind spot by being pointed at too many sunsets!

I down load photos to our laptop and then make a selection of photos to downsize, using 'easythumbs', to a 600 pix wide format to use on here and to attach as on-line photos in emails to chums.

I stored this photo and others as an album on Flickr, from whence I inserted this 'hamburger' photo.

By the way, we were having a night out with Tony and Mary, and Dave and Cathy who had come up to Betsw for a convivial get-together.

Note the lack of green veg ( and a plate). Must admit I would have preferred a 'Steak Hache' at a 'Buffalo Grill'

 Firefox Magic?

When I am in a position to write another story I will try your Firefox method again. I did get it to work previously so providing I can remember I will have a go. Rather than third party photo storage I can use my own website.

On my iPad I use a very good easy to use image resize app. The same app is available for android from the play store. I could not figure out how to put a link to the play store, but it is the app in the screen shot below. Just search for picture resizer. Might be worth a try.
