The things you see

I will try to redo the photos off my laptop soon. The CBX and Katana deserve a good photo.

Hope these photos of the CBX, Katana, Notron Commando and BSA are better

Nearly forgot to put photos of my bike in. At least she looks like an FJ

Do you not upload your photos into the gallery and then copy the link from the gallery pic into your post between the img boxes that appear when you click on the insert photo button above the emoji's ?

I thought that was the only way to get photos in posts properly.

Nope, although I have done that. I usually upload directly from my device (phone or computer) using the aditional options tab below the text box. It is a little more straight forward, but prone to glitrches, like putting photo's in sideways or in my case, when i use my phone, streatching the photos out.

The way you mentioned is good it you want to insert a picture in the middle of your text.

The reason I use my phone most times is

A: convenience
B: my laptop has the memory capacity of a goldfish (my phone has bigger memory capacity), and I can't store much on it

Dean, I post my photos directly from Flickr. I right click on the photo, right click on "copy address" then simply paste between the [img] thingo's. I believe this also allows the photos to be seen without being a member or logging in. I miss many of the photos on here because I read the daily postings on my phone and don't log in.

Flickr also has a basic editing tool for a quick touch up before posting, such as cropping etc. It also makes it easy to refer back to photos I've posted and where to find them to use elsewhere.

Mark, the photo of the Norton Commando never came through.

Mark, it is unfortunate but these days a reasonably capable computer is no longer a luxury. You work for the Govt, they update their computers every 5 minutes, find out who looks after your work computers and hunt them out for a deal. Trust me, the public service discard technology that most of us still aspire to.

Another option is a PC ( instead of a laptop), they are comparatively cheap and a modern smart phone is more than adequate as a mobile device.

Someone told me never to take photos or videos on an iphone etc in portrait mode, always landscape. It leads to the stretching experienced when photos etc are uploaded, not sure if this is your issue Mark but maybe worth a go

My last two PCs have been Dell Optiplex 3010s from 2013.  Ebay plus shipping, a new 250G solid state drive, a modern wifi dongle, and Ubuntu 20.04 and I've got a super fast and useable computer for $90. I hate microsoft.

I used to use Tinypic, but they got swallowed up and if I remember correctly I dropped out as I did not want to pay (me just being cheap  ).

I often wondere about swamping the Gallery section every time I want to put any sort of image in a post, so might just use the Additional Options method from now - I'd never even bothered opening it up before today
