Flamedodger Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I thought I would put together a post for uploading from an iPhone, as there are a few nuances with it. I have no experience with Android phones, so can't help with them. For this post I am using my iPhone 11, so should work with iPad also. I've highlighted where you need to tap with red boxes to make it as simple as possible. Remember, you have to be a member to post photos. Using this method, there should be no reason for any resizing of pics, you can do this easily from your iPhone with a couple of taps. Take sweet pics of dank weed Go to uk420 homepage and click the 3 bars in the top right hand corner Click on browse Click on Gallery, wait a few seconds This will bring you to the Gallery page, go to the bottom of the page and click 'Add Images' Choose your photos Select your category, choose 'Members Gallery', unless you're posting hash and oils photos If you haven't already created a Photo Album, do it now. You can use a different album for your grows, for this upload I'm using my current grow album 'The Clover Grow', its already created, so I click 'use selected album'. Choose your photos from your photo library, or take a photo. If you try and upload now, your will be presented with this warning. We need to resize our photos and bring them under the size limit. Tap the highlighted text. Choose which size you require medium is best for quality generally and if you're adding multiple photos, when you're ready, click 'done' and 'add'. The below image is 'small', whereas the others are medium, all of which come under the file size limit for the site. iPhones sometimes don't play nice when uploading and you may find the images are not rotated correctly. That's no problem. the site can do that for you, click the highlighted box and rotate clockwise or anticlockwise. At this point if you have not filled in any details for the photo, you can. I'm not sure if it helps @Joolz in the competitions having details filled out, hopefully he'll chime in and settle that one. That's pretty much it, when you want to insert a photo in your post use the insert media button and Insert existing image. There is an alternative method you can use by installing iCloud on your PC (requires resizing), you can take pics on your phone and upload them via PC or Mac. If I've missed anything please add a comment. Edited May 13, 2021 by Flamedodger detail 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysticriver Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 this works on iPhone 8+ at least there's no need to resize on the laptop, a pretty convoluted way of doing it mystic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigs Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 easiest way to do it on a mac (if your not into using photo resizing software/photoshop) is to email the pics to yourself then click-drag them to your desk top and load from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamedodger Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Update The site has been having formatting issues with numerous web browsers. I use Microsoft Edge on PC and my iPhone now. PC browser won’t move on pages by clicking the links, but the phone browser works almost flawlessly. When adding photos to a diary I find they always default to the start of the page.Simply highlight the photo, it’ll go blue, tap again and cut it, move your cursor to the bottom of the page and paste it. You’ll get a formatting error message, just click the cross, it doesn’t affect your post. The resizing explained in the OP still works and is so much easier than faffing about with image manipulation software.
