How about one for mobile?? For Android OS??

How about one for mobile?? Android OS.

For both PC and Android...there is a pretty simple process....above...between the paper clip looking icon and the smile icon there is a picture window....just click on that and it gives you a link to click on to insert a picture....

What if I get the "Oops picture is too big"

PC....right click on your picture and click on "edit"...it will open a basic picture editor....you can then use the "resize" feature at the top of the screen...and/or grab the edges to shrink the border.....Typically if you shrink a picture until it fits completely on the page it will then be small enough to upload.......(and viewers won't have to "scroll" to view a posted picture)

Android.....Similar process....go into your photo and select "crop".... you can then shrink down the picture and it will make the file significantly smaller so it will upload....If it still won't upload...crop it again.

You post a URL to the video once it’s posted on an approved site. I believe there are 18 of the…all the usual suspects.

Well, on my computer, this is listed as a 1.7MB PNG file. On AZB, it's shown as a 1.1MB file. A 2.4MB JPG failed.

I’ve been going by trial-and-error, too. Thanks.

One strange thing I have noticed. When dropping in pictures from my phone, android, every once in awhile I will forget to downsize first. You would think, no big deal just go back and resize, not.
For some reason it remembers my first attempt and no matter how much I reduce it first, even down to 20%, it will keep telling me the file is too big. My only recourse then, is to delete the copy I've typed in to go with the picture, get out of the page I was on, and restart my phone to clear everything out and start all over.
Not sure why I can't just go back and reduce the photo and insert it, but I can't. This has happened on my last two phones, both Samsung's, but different carriers.
