i have been trying to post photos of my custom scum Gr75 since wave 7. how are people posting average smartphone resolution photos to the boards?

Test

Okay, I did that by hitting the "click to choose files" option on my reply box for something on my phone. If you are using a URL, hit "Insert other media"for the option.

Hope that works.

so thats what ive been doing, but it says pictures must be 20 kilobytes or less. no clue how to get around it

Okay. Hmm. It sounds like you'll need to put them on an image sharing site first, then use the URL. I've seen imgur used by quite a few people. Might ask @Odanan what he uses, what with his large collection of custom cards.

Oh yeah, imgur is weird about linking it that way. Poo. Sorry about that.

On the plus side, the GR75 does look sweet.

Okay so a "linked bb code" on imgur seems to work. thanks for the help

There we go! No problemo!

You can also use the direct links, you just have to add a newline after each link.

That's a bit strange, the images I have attached before like this one

is much larger than that (this is 105kb) but there is a total attachment limit of 500kb and that's for all uploaded images over all posts so I do still recommend looking into external sites anyway.

yeah imgur is working okay, its just silly that i cant load photos directly. ive had this problem since i got on the board, and ive seen other people mention it. hopefully FFG will update it

I post from flickr mostly, good site.
