Have tried to post pics from my phone, taken with my phone, what needs to be done, so they work on here . Every try has upload failed message .

 

Just posted a pic from my iPhone to test

 

Worked fine for me.
You have to goto manage attachments, then choose file, choose existing (if its in your album or take photo or video),goto camera roll ( on iphone ) and choose a pic , then goto far right and click upload , then goto close this window, then go down to submit reply , done.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

 

thanks for the replies the problem is my pics are to many mb. to post I used a really old pic of my bike which is 755 kb. the max for avatar is 191 mb. any ways to reduce the mb. of a pic to be within the range of posting on this site ?

 

If you're trying to post pics to forum threads then you just need to download the photobucket app. It will let you upload photos to the app then copy and paste the link with code to the forum.

 

There's lots of free software on line just google photo size reducer and you'll get lots of hits. I use photobucket for most of my uploads.

 

i have a sure fire method for posting pictures..... i have one of my teenage daughters do it, cause i got no clue.

 

That's what I'm talkin about!

 

This video should help you out If your using Microsoft you will find Paint in the accessories which is in All Programs off the Start button.

 

After watching this video I realized he is making it a bit complicated.
Simply open Paint , open the photo, up top on menu you will see a resize button , use either pixels or percentage and leave maintain aspect ratio checked, on the bottom centre in the frame you will see the present size probably some mb, after resizing this number won't change and show to smaller until you save then it will show the new size. Make sure you use the save as rather than the save. Now lets see some pics
