Uploading pictures to TMP

[PyroChixRock]

There are multiple ways to upload photos from mobile devices and desktop.

This picture was taken on an iPhone 5 and uploaded from the iPhone via full site access. This works the same way on desktop.




Click the square button with the tree to insert an image.





A pop up appears





Choose your file and hit upload file. It will insert some code like this.




Voila, your picture appears inline like the ones above.

You can also use tapatalk.




Click the mountain in between the camera and bird.





Tapatalk has a built in image resizer. Choose your size.





It enters the same type of code and inserts your image inline.

[PyroChixRock]

You can also upload from forum runner.





Click the + button in the upper right corner.





Choose where you want to attach an image from. I chose photos. Once it's done uploading hit "done uploading" and it will ask you if you want to insert it inline. Click "insert inline" to attach it to your post.





You can hit "attach from photos" again and upload more images. Then hit "insert inline" to insert the image into your post. If you do multiples, hit the + button again to return to the upload screen and hit "insert inline" again.

I just tried a few times on my iphone and after i click upload files i get an error message. "Image.jpeg file upload failed" or somthing like that

[PyroChixRock]

I'd be glad to help figure out the problem but I need more details. How are you accessing the forum? Safari? Chrome? Forum runner? Tapatalk?

i just tried selecting 5 jpg files taken with a camera. not a single one uploaded. said they were too large.

[PyroChixRock]

I need more details to be able to tell you why it's not working. Sizes and the way you are trying to upload would tell me a lot.

[ahreno]

first i click this



then i hit select files


then i select the files. i realize they're 2.x mb each but its 2014... thats not that much space. I COULD be complaining that i can't upload my raw images that are 20mb.


then i get told they're too big.

[PyroChixRock]

Actually I think it's telling you it has a problem with the name of the file. Can you rename one and try it again.

[ahreno]

nope, it's saying file is too large.

[PyroChixRock]

Our server will resize the images but you'll have to upload one at a time to do so. I'm looking into a better solution but for now please try that.

Tried that too with photos from my phone through the non mobile version of the site. Errored out on three different photos. Will try again later

[PyroChixRock]

Sigh. It works for me on iPhone 4, 5, kindle, and iPad. I will mess with more settings tonight and see what I can figure out. Thanks for helping diagnose.

( I use and prefer the full web sight when I am mobil.) If I try to post a pic from the I phone and it is too big to post up

............ The getto solution................

#1. open the picture in your camera on the I phone .

#2 . "pinch" the picture with your fingers so it has a black border , and appears smaller on your screen.

#3 the hard part. As you pinch the image as small as you can , use all your glass blowing prowess , and take a screen shot at the same time. ( by clicking the round button and the top button at the same time you are pinching)

#4 The picture will flash big on the screen , like it did not work , but it did. Go look in your "camera roll" and the pinched pic is there in the last spot, with the black boarder .

#5 Now you have this picture with a boarder on your screen. pinch it again , and make it large to fill the screen. Take another screen shot at the same time . ( like before ,but now it fills the screen again )

#6 try to re-post it ,( the last pic on your camera roll , that looks full size) you just shaved off pixles , and quality , but now you can post it right from the I phone. I have not had this "not work" , but you could always re size it on your phone twice ,if its still too big.

edit. the newest version of ios may not have the black boarder, but it works just the same.

I really hope you aren't serious
