How to post a picture

Hello. I have an issue with the top coat on the fiberglass starting to peel but I want to send pictures to the folks here to get an opinion. How do I send pictures with a post using my Samsung 3 cell phone? Thank you in advance.
  • You will need to use a 3rd party picture hosting service (some have mobile apps), imgur.com is popular on this site, picpaste.com, gyazo.com, google photos, many others out there. Personally I pay for my own web hosting and post my photos from there, really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things where you share them from. For this forum, it would probably be ideal to resize most of your photos down to a lower resolution such as 800x600, or 640x480 even, many users here are on metered or throttled mobile connections or older devices and may have trouble with large images.

    Once you have the image shared on a photo sharing service, you can just use the "Advanced Post Form" here and use the insert picture button and paste in the photo URL from your service.

    x2. It couldn't be easier - drag and drop. And it is right here on this site. I even use this link for posting on several other forums.
  • Thank you everyone. How do I save the site "Clicky" that you sent so I don't have to ask again?
  • Open it and press Ctrl + D. It will save it in your bookmarks. I put it on my bookmarks taskbar for easy access....Dennis

    That won't work with a tablet or smart phone.
