Ok, I'd humbly like to ask...

Here is what @axtremus wrote in the Tips and Tricks thread about posting pics. Includes some info about storage considerations on the forum:

In order to save on storage that the forum uses, I don't upload directly here. I use postimages.org as a host just like I used to do on the old forum. I don't even have an account at postimages. I just upload my photo to their site, copy their link, and paste it here.

For whatever reason, iPhones do not do a resize of photos on the phone. Other phones do.
Andy’s procedure should work great for anything other than an iPhone

I know you don’t have an iPhone, Daniel, but just in case iPhone users do come to this thread for advice…
You can use the Shortcuts app to make a “Convert Image” option in the share sheet on your iOS device. I think if you use this link it will copy my shortcut into your app…

Scroll down and choose Convert Image. It will make a smaller sized copy of the photo, which should then be able to be uploaded here.

On your recommendation I used convert image for a long time and it worked great!
But it doesn’t work anymore and I can’t figure out why. Any ideas?

Which selection do you use to post a picture directly? I tried markdown and I got a link rather than a picture. Same thing with the link for forums.
[edit] Got it. It’s the second link called markdown.
edit: I see you figured it out!!

I copy the Direct Link from postimages

I use the full edit screen here on WTF and click on the Picture icon (sixth icon from the right). It will automatically highlight where the paste will go.

Paste the Direct Link you copied from postimages.

@dolmansaxlil Oh wow, that’s great! I’ve been using Image Size, which is a pain in the patootie because you have to specify the size you want, and it remembers what you used before. So if you’re going from a vertical to horizontal format, you have to remember the numbers.
