How do I post a picture? Try 2mb or less sizing

[Omega Man]

Pictures can come from most anywhere- phone, laptop or iPad.
Check the posting above and give it a try.

Do the pictures have to be stored on a photo hosting site? I have mine on my computer and I keep getting the message "Upload of file failed" Not sure what I am doing wrong? It is very cumbersome to try and read through 60 pages of possible solutions.

Your file size is probably too large.
I always reduce my picture file size before uploading to a forum.
For the width I use 1200 or less.

On a Windows computer I right click on my picture thumbnail and select Edit, then Resize.
Select Pixel
I use less than 1200 for horizontal if it's in Landscape and less than 900 if in Portrait.

I use the the square icon with a tree in it to attach my picture.

Yeah, TIFF formats are not specifically called out, but jpg or jpeg are most common.

Up to Cottonwood Pass?

I also thought it was near the top of Cottonwood Pass on the east side but when I looked at my pictures it appears to be different.

Hi All,

I've been reading all the posts for days and experimenting and still cannot upload a pic by adding to attachments so i can stick it in my post-to-be. What's frustrating is I've done this a couple of times before.

I tried the attachments icon in the toolbar and the button further down on the posting screen.
I get to Browse in either case.
I select my pic.
I hit upload and wait but nothing happens.
I keep shrinking the pic so that now it's <300kb and <800 x 300 pixels in size.

what can I try next?

TIA,

I find that steps #15 and 16 in this thread work the best:

Thanks. I did not try that icon. Unfortunately that did not work either. I went back and tried the two methods for managing attachments but that did not work. I now need to stretch my assumptions and wonder if it's related to some setting I have in my browser. I could see that affecting downloads but not uploads. Reaching, now.

Thanks again,
phil

Can you try another device? That might help isolate the issue.
