If you reduce it to 500/600 pixels wide I think you would have more luck. I have recently inserted photos into both a discussion and a story using Chas's method using a split screen in Firefox and it works OK. However when I tried to load a photo of 1000 pixels wide it failed. I have given up on third party photo sharers like Photobucket and now upload my photos to my website so I can copy them across using the above method. I appreciate not everyone has a website to load photos to!!!

Posted on 18/05/2017 15:39 by eurortravellerThanks David. I have none of that fancy kit so will have to continue to send out tinies straight from the I-pad . Here's our sort of campsite at Sallanches in the Alps.

Good tip Peedee, it certainly gets over the need to have third party photo hosting like Photobucket. Just one tip, you do seem to have to copy the full size picture across rather than than from a group of photos. I found that if I copied from a group all I got was the URL.

PS it doesn't seem to resize automatically?

It doesn't resize the dimensions but does automatically reduce the jpg quality to something smaller than the original and seems to acceptable to CT. I am guessing whatever dimension you load to FB, it is not resized so you could load something about 500 pixels wide and it would drag and drop nicely into CT?
