Forum is slow and glitchy

It's a major pain in the azz on an iphone and one of my pet peeves of iOS. It can be done but I have to look it up. Every. Time.
It's supposedly real easy on android - look for the proverbial three dots menu that are used in just about everything these days and pick 'resize'. I haven't done it but it is supposedly really that simple.

 

What Bill said. I can’t simply resize.

 

I use Android. I have to think IOS has it somewhere

 

It is that easy.

Most everything in life is easy.....once you know how

 

I found the three dots but there's no option to resize there on my phone. I'd upload a picture but even after cropping it can't be uploaded.

 

Calling Eric VW who if my memory serves me correctly apple Guru How do we simply save pics smaller in settings so we can follow
The pics or it didn’t happen rule?

 

Once in edit. I tap the 3 dots and I get -

 

My android phone has edit right on the screen when scrolling pics...

 

If using an iPhone, use the native iOS mail app and send the pictures to yourself. Right as you hit send, it will ask you if you want to resize. “Large” used to work…it no longer does. You’ll have to go medium. Once you have the pics in your e-mail, download to photos and then post. I have noticed that while the resizing works, there’s a difference in image quality.

 

That's probably the easiest/quickest way . Everything else pretty much requires another app, even if it is Apple's shortcuts app, but then you're learning a new app that the average person never uses and doesn't know exists.
You'd think taking a screenshot would work, but nooooooooo, the screenshot file is a PNG which can take more space than the original jpeg.

I very rarely visit any forums from my iphone. I'll use my iphone as a hotspot for internet access, but I'm online with my macbook. A simple screenshot works quite nicely there, even with the humongous files from my Nikon(s). Go figure. No apps that also do a bazillion other things needed. I don't very often use Photos on my Mac either. The whole libraries interface is stupid. It's just one more complication. I know what files are and I know where they are, although Apple has managed to f*ck that up as well. I like new things, just not a whole new level of stupid, especially when what was worked so nicely. Don't get me started on Windows because I lived in that environ for 30 years, or whenever Windows 3.1 came out. I would have preferred to have only needed to know System 6 but Windows was pulling marketshare and software. Same kind of needless stupid all around.

 

Well I thought I missed the edit part. Went back into edit and found the three dots, help and feedback is the only option. Guess my photo sharing days are done.

 

Do you end up with two photos and an easy way to tell the original from the molested one, or are you left with just the molested one ?

 

Pretty good chance I won't bother with all that.

 

The way I’ve been getting around the picture posting issue is taking pictures from further away, then cropping them smaller. Obviously you lose some image quality, but it’s a quick and dirty workaround.

 

You could get into your settings/camera and change the file type from "raw" or jpeg to HEIF. HEIF is supposed to have smaller file sizes and may eventually replace jpeg, but if you edit photos in any kind of software you should check that your software knows what an HEIF file is first. Alm ost all cameras/software jpeg is the default and has been for a very long time. Even the forum software may not know what an HEIF file is. So, buyer beware.

 

FHC knows not what HEIF is. I've needed to save pics as JPEGs.
