Help with posting pics
Hi, apologies if this is a redundant thread but I’ve been searching the forums with no luck.
I’m just trying to figure out how to post a picture in a thread. I’m using an iPhone and not a desktop, maybe that’s the problem? When I click the pic icon above the text box I’m taken to a blank screen. It seems maybe I need to have the picture on a host site, does google photos work for that? Thanks in advance for any help!

I also use an iPhone. I post pics hosted in my phone. When I click on the picture icon my phone takes me to my photo file. I click on the pic that I want to post and follow the prompts.

That is what I thought it could be but no amount of zooming out will show me anything. Maybe it’s an issue with my phone…

Do you get to this screen? If you get this far but have issues with the next steps, it may be your photo format. iPhones can take pictures in a format that is not compatible with what the forum expects.
