I've tried multiple times to upload photos without success. Thank you for the offers but I'd like to figure it out so I can do it!
I tried the "attach" and "browse" option and the photos aren't that large. Is there another step I'm missing?
Is there a tutorial anywhere that someone has "sticky" posted?
I played around with the youtube uploader and figured that out. I'm using Firefox as my browser and tried Explorer without luck, as well.

Well, I use an off site image hosting site: postimage.org
It is a free image hosting site and has been stable for a few years now.
Upload a picture, go to Share, and then Hotlink for forums.

I mostly view/add to this forum from my phone using Tapatalk pro, easy to load pix and can load many per post. Though I think I had to pay for the pro ver.

Are you still having trouble uploading pictures ?

I'm using the free version of Tapatalk and it uploads pictures as well.

Doran ..
Would Tapatalk take over your browser ?
Can you go back to your Google Chrome / Safari browser if wanted, use one or the other ?
Jeff's having problems loading large pictures off his iPhone.
Guess I should just do a google search for Tapatalk ...

Tapatalk being a phone app, not sure how it would take over a desktop browser? I just attached the bluebell photo, using the 'Attachment' button then browsing to the photo...no problems here.

One thought...Apple moved to a new format .HEIC a while ago. I'm not 100% sure that's compatible on the forums. On our iPhones/iPad's I always go to Settings -> Camera -> Formats and change the setting to 'Most Compatible' so it takes photos & video's in JPEG/H.264 vs the oddball HEIC/HEVC format.
2nd...if you're attaching a photo from your phone/computer, you cannot use the 'Insert Image' button, that's for Image 'Links' where you're using a service like Photobucket to host the image. If its on your computer, you use the ' + Attachments and other options' link directly below and then browse and attach the photo.

Ha ha!
It worked...b/c the xXXliner (my friends) had just being raised...a storm apparently allowed his air lift to sink, then the boat sank torn shift boot!

Is that water line / lake scum on side of hull ?
Seems kind of high for water line ?

It is...boat sank until it rested on the lift underwater...so it sat like that for a week they figure. If the lift wouldn't have been there to hold it...it would have gone to the bottom.

OK ..
Hope they had insurance !

Po1973 / Patrick,
Perhaps the link below will help you. I too, was having problems getting photos to upload, until a suggestion from Gregg spurred me to find this information. Once I cut the individual photo size from 72 to 36 pixels per inch, all my photos have loaded successfully.
I use a Mac, but the link starts with PC techniques.
Good Luck!

That's a good tip...the forum software like to time out (disconnect) on the upload of very large pictures...we've tried adjusting things, but haven't ever been 100% successful as you've seen.
The Tapatalk app (free) does the resizing & hosting for you so that also works really well as an alternative solution.
