I'm surprised the site moderators haven't replied yet. I found posting photos here to be a bit more difficult than on some other forums, such as ADVrider.

What I do:

I host photos on a third-party site. I use Photobucket, others include SmugMug, Flicker, etc.

On this site I click the "Insert Image" icon. Middle row, 4th group of icons from the left. It's the 4th icon in that group. When you hover over it for a couple of seconds you'll see the "Insert Image."

When the Insert Image dialog box comes up, I select "From URL." I then go to Photobucket (open in another window) and copy the URL of the image I want to post-just that one image. Photobucket at least allows me to do that. I paste that URL in the opening of the dialog box. I then unclick Retrieve remote file and reference locally. I'll usually preview the post to make sure it looks ok.

This works for me. There may be better ways out there but I've not found them. The big issue for me is having that third party site so I can get the URL of each individual photo. I've not been successful in posting photos here using the "from computer" option.

There's folks around a lot smarter on this stuff than me. Y'all ought to weigh in and help too.

Thanks. Complicated

Well, not THAT hard. Way I figure, if I can do it, anyone can. Heck, I cain't hardly speak keyboard . . . . :type

Just bite the bullet, host your photos somewhere, and it'll work fine . . .

Yes that is exactly what I did, but it will not upload. I keep getting a question mark instead of a photo.

Like others have said maybe use a hosting site but it shouldn’t be necessary. :dunno

Voni takes 1.2 gazzilion photos a month. I take a few. For stuff I intend to post to this forum I put them local on my computer and then attach them to the posts. It works fine. Even if the photo is stored in the cloud, I retrieve it and store it local (temporarily) to attach and post. This might not be the easiest way, but it works 100% of the time.

iPhone pictures

On the iPhone first go to settings and change from high efficiency to most compatible on the actual camera setting turn off the live and hd. What I do next is email the photo to myself on the iPhone and after I hit send a box pops up and asks if I want a small, medium, large or actual size photo, I have found that the medium size works well ( for me this is easy way to resize photo ) I than open the photo in the emai still using iPhone and then airdrop it to iPad than from the I pad I do The posting to the forum
I guess kind of third party hosting except no outside party involved
To make stuff more complicated apple does not resize the photo if I email it to my self from the iPad :scratch

That was my usual method, sending pics to Samsung tablet or laptop and then posting...more often than not they come out sideways and I just quit trying.I carry a point and shoot I use for photos more often for pictures I may post.
We are on satellite internet with limited allowance, so have to be selective at times of how much download/upload we can use going back and forth or things slow way down.I don't use our Smugmug unless we are at another location...family, library,and such which is a pain at times :banghead

I have an older Iphone and trying to do forum posting is frustrating with screen size and having to zoom in to fat finger the buttons. :gerg

Nice to see that someone is still trying to maintain some class here.

And yes, that is a nice bike...for an RS.

(We're just teasing, Greenmachine1100)

Nice bike, enjoy.

I don’t understand how you can sit on your muffler and be cool at the same time

With loving neglect your bike can also look like this.

69zeff65 · Apr 11, 2019

It just proves you are truly cool

It takes a pretty darn cool person to sit on those mufflers and still be cool even when riding a really hot bike.

Picked up this '04 R1100S with 25k miles a couple weeks ago. Fun bike and it'll make nice company for the R1250GS.
