Cannot Post Pics

Postby Smoking Piney » Mon Jul 19, 2021 6:00 pm

I've been using Imgur since I joined this board a couple of years ago with no problems. Now, I'm getting a "Cannot verify file size" error and I can't post pics.

Is there a fix, or something I'm suddenly doing wrong here? My usual method (copy BBC Code) works well on other boards.

Frustrating.......

We can't either, can only add pics via attachment feature.

That's not good. I wonder why I'm still seeing pics in posts without having to open attachment links?

This seriously takes away from the experience here. What changed?

I dunno....But if you add your photo as an attachment, it can be seen in the post. Though I can't do attachments from my tablet. :dont:

If you use thee attachment link that the forum provides, then the pics automatically show. Then everyone gets to see them.

Exactly. It changed a few weeks back. Just roll with the flow.

I’ve always used the attachment link from my phone after resizing the pic. I didn’t know there was another way.

I'll pass this on to Gator BUT I'm thinking that the only way to post your pics to be seen by everyone along with the text, is by ATTACHMENT. As Amigeaux mentioned, that's also the ONLY WAY I've ever been able to post them. :dont:

Folks - we no longer support BBC Code as it exposes us to Spammers and Hacks.

Please use the attachment feature - no need to resize or host pics - the forum attachment feature automagically does this for you and keeps everything running smoothly. :rose:

Thanks,

Dan

Hmmmmm - In the past my pics flip sideways if I didn’t resize to 800 x 600 or lower. Did something change so they don’t flip?

Thanks - let us know if you are having issues.

Tapa-talk is another option for posting pics from your phone..
