Thread: Not able to load photos

No nothing of cut & paste! Some setting on my android phone or on the forum must have changed. I've always taken photos with my phone and posted on the forum easily. Now, no matter what I try, the response is always image is to large. Just don't know what changed. I suspect it's on the forum, because I get same response on ipad.

My android won't let me send pictures or video's as an attachment. The error code always says "message size too large". BUT, I can select a photo or video in my phone's gallery, tap on the photo or video and then tap the "share" button when it appears. It gives you the option of sharing via Facebook, message or email. I tap the "message" option and then select the recipient and it will send. I have no idea why it will go through like that and not as an attachment. All kidding aside you need a 13 year old girl to show you what to do. It is flippin' unreal how tech savvy they are nowadays.

Yep the grand kids were my go to for help....although the youngest just turned 18

Chillin: I have no problem messaging, emailing, texting pics. Just on Forum where it says msg too large...

You need to resize .....tinypic.com

Probably whatever site the forum (GSPFF) has been using to host picture uploads is now about 'full'.
It only has room for small pictures (like avatars, less than 20kb in size).
Until we (Finchaser & I) can get the 'keys' to empty out the picture folder folder, this is simply how things are for now!

I (and others) have recommended using a FREE picture hosting site like TinyPic.com
It is FREE & easy!
All you have to do is copy the URL link with the IMG label at the front and back and paste that where you want it to go in your Reply.
Or use the picture icon and paste the image name in the 'from URL' pop up box. (be sure and uncheck the "retrieve remotely..." box)

I hope this helps!

Checked with Verizon who confirmed it was a website problem and not mine. Needs to be corrected by webmaster! I'm sure others who try to post photos will have similar problems.

checking photo upload

was able to upload a thumbnail but not a regular picture.

shame to see posts where someone has a pic but can't load it.

I tried tinypics but photo on a prior post was so small you could not make out details and zooming just made it worse.

Nasty wave, ehh
