Title: AHHHHH!!
Post by: jagermiester on October 15, 2018, 04:58:18 PM: So frustrated
I just typed up the two longest stories Ive ever done trying to post to deer hunting and both times when I went to post my screen went white and I lost the whole thing.
I'm sure it is my error I'm going to try again tomorrow before I punch a hole in my computer
:chuckle:

Photos are probably too large especially if from an iPhone. Screen shot your photo and then try to attach that.

Also, if using an Iphone make sure you do it from the Tapatalk app or it wont post! Learned that the hard way myself

Cant your head slightly to the left and pet a black cat with white feet 4 times against the fur. Eat a small frog. These steps will help.

:yeah: But don't use excessive spacing and keep the posts coming one after the other not hours and days apart like some on this forum do. :rolleyes:

Post by: h2ofowlr on October 16, 2018, 09:43:53 AM: If it's a good story, typing it up on a word document first, then proof reading and correcting typo's and punctuation. But then again, without such an approach it gives the story a more upriver, off grid and tar heal appeal. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: jackelope on October 16, 2018, 12:31:37 PM: The pictures are too large. It doesn't have anything to do with an iphone specifically or the size of the story. Just the settings in whatever tool is taking the photos....
