What is the proper way to post photos on here? Everytime I've attempted to post one, it requires me to too resize it less than 100k, and when I do that, it just makes it small and bad quality. I am uploading from my Samsung s8 if that makes a difference

Haven't managed to get an upload from my phone to work yet. I usually post to Flickr and then use the BB code to post it here. Could probably use the Flickr app from the phone but I personally haven't done that. Hope this helps!

I would also recommend uploading your images to an outside site. I personally use Imgur. 100 KB is just not enough (in my opinion) to do a shot justice, but I understand why UER does it to keep storage costs down.

Yep, use an external host like Flickr or Imgur.

1.


1276 x 902 and 200kb


It may not be good enough for all you pros but it uploads just fine and very fast using the Quick Gallery Creator


The old "Attach an Image" button is pretty limited (and obsolete)


There is also a difference in image size and file size many people do not understand but if you like hosting and linking to a 3rd party account somewhere by all means go ahead, just for the record though it isnt necessary simply because the gallery creator works great...

Less complex images downsize better.
Shot with and posted from my stupid Android using the app ReducePhotoSize coming in at 768x1024 @ 97 kb.


Change "pic" to "inp" to ditch the thumbnail click view.




Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

What is the BB code and where do I find it on Flickr?

Go to your individual picture (won't work if you're in a gallery view).
Click on the share button (looks sorta like a curved arrow).
Click on "BBCode".
Copy and Paste that link into the post you're creating.
(Optional: Delete the second URL part that adds the link to your Flickr page)
