Pictures too large from my iPhone

Post by formula400 »

So when posting on here and I try to add a picture, it was says the files are too large.

On my laptop I add them to Flickr and then copy the link from there.

How to I get around this???

It kinda works still doing it from Flickr

There's an app called flickrbbcode on the app store that works on my tablet but not my phone.

You can open the desktop version on your browser too of Flickr.

I can increase pic size allowed but there's a counter cost long term to that and it depends how big we're talking. It's about 600km currently but I've seen people try that are several mb.

In the Tapatalk app it allows you chose the size of the picture you uploads. Is there anyway for this??? I’ll look for that other Flickr app.

Tapatalk is not supported on this version sorry.

Plenty of options for resizing your images though

I email the pics to myself. Hotmail gives an option to reduce attachments to 70%, 30% or 10%.
