My guess is he is trying to post pictures from his iPhone. Only way to do it is to take a screenshot of the photo on your phone and then post the screenshot. Still a pain, but it’s the only work-around I know of.

I have always been able to post pics from my iphone without issue and without any workarounds.
Having said that, @Rainier10  said he couldn't post a pic from his phone either yesterday. Maybe I should try it as I haven't recently.

I haven’t been able to for over a year. I thought it was a known issue, so I never said anything else.  :chuckle: Just tried it again on this thread to verify, and my post wouldn’t go thru. It just takes me to this.

Rainier10 here, the ruggedly handsome fella in that photo.  Yes he did take the photo with his iphone.

Since I did an update on my iPhone7 plus about 6 months ago,( no idea what that iOs was but now I am up to 11. something)  anyways  to post photos now I have to screen shot the photo on my phone and upload that screenshot image.  My guess is the new update on the phone gave me a better picture quality and it is to big of a file using the original photo.  The screen shot is a lower quality and that is why it allows me to post the photo of a screen shot.

Even more bizarre maybe is that the screenshot that he can post is almost the same dimensions as the one he can't post. I thought for sure it was a size thing.

Exactly, we both have the new version, 11.2.5.  I can't post at all unless I screenshot the pic.  If I just try to post the pic I get a white screen.  If I text it to Rob or Josh, Rob can post it no issues, Josh posts it and it is sideways.

The one that I was just able to post is one that I sent to Rob, he sent to his email, in sending it it asks if he wants to resize which he did and then sent it on.  He sent the resized version back to me and I was able to post it.

The original photo is 3.7MB and that seems to be the problem.  I am assuming when I do a screenshot it is sizing it smaller than 3.7MB

Photos post best if no larger than 800 x 600 pixels. In case you are not sure how to resize photos:

Resizing On Computer
If you are on a computer make a copy of the photo you want to resize so you don’t resize the original, next use “Microsoft Office Picture Manager” to resize the copied photo.

Resizing On Phone
On a phone go to google play store and download “Image Resizer”.  It works very easy and stores the newly resized photos in a “resized photos” file separate from the original photo which is not harmed.

Right, but we shouldn't need to screenshot images in order to post them.

That photo is a large one too, I am using google chrome on my cell phone. Maybe the problem is browser related? Can we pin it down to a specific browser or phone type?

Rick and I have identical phones running the same software version yielding different results from posting the same photo that he took. We’ve ironed that much out.
But I wonder if by texting it back and forth, it is getting resized/compressed in the process?

Right. I was wondering the same thing.
