As Tom said Will, tapatalk is great for just uploading your pics to the site, you can store all your photos on your phone and send them directly from there, there's no sizing issue's either so easy peasy :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Windows 10 offers similar tools. Just create a folder somewhere on your Mac or PC solely for RCTW photos, and upload from that. :thumbup:

Hee that is interesting. Can you tell me please how I can upload a picture in Apple's Photos to a message here on RCTankwarfare. If that is possible I do not need anylonger Photobucket. Thanks in advance... Easy8

I too use Tapatalk and there's no resizing to wort about. Initially l was frustrated that it always loads all your photos below your words but by using the edit function its easy to move each photo to where you want it - or post your photos then edit text around them!

Either way, l now prefer not to use photo hosting companies because they seem to do things you don't want, like start to charge or go under!

Another one here for Preview on the Mac . Olympus XZ-1 just need to remember to downsize to >350 KB . You are not going to be held hostage in the future if you save to a couple of hard drives ;)

I've begun to use Imgur now as an alternative, and in addition, to uploading directly from My Mac. Imgur resizes pics automatically when posting here. It's very simple to use. On the Mac, it's necessary to resize a pic with 'preview' so that it's no larger than 351kb in size when you come to upload it. Additionally, pics have to be less than 1920 x 1080 pixels maximum. It's easy to make those adjustments, however, with 'Preview'
Another, but more roundabout, way of doing it, is to mail the photo to yourself. :) 'Photos' allows you to mail the pic in 'small', 'middle-sized', 'large, or 'full' format (and gives respective file sizes in kBs.). Elect for something like 250KB. Mail it, and then 'save' the received and formatted pic from the Mail App into a folder you've created for uploading RCTW pics. Then upload it from there.
That's how it works- and it does work pretty well :thumbup: Hope this helps.
