Help! How do you upload pictures on this forum. It is really frustrating. Is there guidance somewhere on here. If there is, I apologize for not seeing it. I keep getting "Upload Failed" and don't know why. The photos are less than 70KB. Thanks.

I know I have written about uploading, but not in a specific thread.
(among a lot of threads)

Anyway, sounds like you are doing it right if you get the error?
(technically anyway)

The pic also can't be too big pixel wise I think.
(not just megabyte size)

Probably need to use a pic program to cut the size of the pic down.
If from a camera, they can have huge sizes.

Easiest way hands down is thru the Tapatalk app if you can. Take the pic with your phone and when you post click on the square with the 2 mountain tops in it to add your photo(s).

After you enter text, scroll down to the next section titled Additional Options, and click on Manage Attachments. A new window pops up where you can Choose File from your computer. It needs to be in the proper format (there are several acceptable formats, I like to use .jpg but the others should work too). The size shouldn't matter, it will automatically resize larger photos to fit (I just temporarily opened a dummy post and was able to successfully upload a 2.5mb photo, the board software automatically reduced its size to fit). After it's successfully uploaded, click on Close This Window in the upper right of that window. Then below the Additional Options section, click on Submit.

However, I see your post count is only 7 at the time you started this discussion - I believe there is a minimum number of posts you have to have before you're allowed to post pictures. I think it's 10, but I'm not sure. In any case, make some more posts and then try it again. Note that posts in the Lobby aren't included in your post count.

I feel your pain Pontiac brother, I love photos of Pontiac cars on the forum, I use taptalk to post photos from my smartphone via the app.
I use the website for links and an expanded version.
