Sizing photos

I did as suggested.
Photo looks like may be too large for forum, no?
Was looking for alternative to Photobucket.
Actually wanted to use Google Photos but selection choices did not allow that, just iPhone photos or take photo w/camera.
Can't figure how to drag/drop with iPhone.

Yes the images are stored forever but there is no way to get to them again. If you need to post the same image again, you would need to upload it again.

However, often I just find an old post of mine with the image I need, click on "edit", copy the whole post or just the image material, close the edit window, and then post the copied material into a new post with stuff edited out to fit the new situation. Sometimes this is easier for me instead of looking for the image again on my computer.

By the way, the credit for developing that app belongs to the moderator of this forum -1492.

That linked site is pretty slick. Much easier than photobucket.
BTW, do the pics just get stored on some server for ever? Is there a way to find them later?
On edit, I see what happens when you delete the pic. And that the site, Imgur is a site where you can set up an account.

To post photos do the following.

1. Upload your photo, one at a time, to this site.

2. Copy the resulting URL.

3. Paste the URL directly into your post with NO modifications. Do not add or subtract anything from the URL.

Your picture will then appear in your post and be properly sized for use on the forums. Do the same for each additional photo.

This procedure is much easier to use than the forum picture posting icon and will eliminate the oversized picture problems you are having.

It is also much simpler. You just Upload, copy, and paste.

Better practice first.

Thanks, everyone! I'll give it a shot on my next photo post.

I always just put in 500 for the width, nothing for the height, and pic comes out fine.

I use an app that integrates into Windows File Explorer. You right click on a photo and a menu comes up. One of the options is "Resize Pictures"
Image Resizer

Use the advance post form option on this forum

click the picture icon (looks like a mountain)

The paste in your link

Then put a number in the box for width 400>800

Some RV part use 400
Beautiful scenic shot use 640>800

This will automatically size the picture to the width that was entered
