New poster help

[Timj32]

Hello all! Sorry about the post if it's been discussed before... and I'm sure it has but, Could someone point me to a thread or discussion here concerning uploading and sharing photos on the fourm? I'm sure it's here somewhere but the searches seem to come up with nothing I'm looking for. Right now I'm getting the "file is too large" error when I try to post anything here. I'm a first time warmoth builder and I'd like to share my experience here and discuss the build.

Thanks all!

You can try linking to the photo. Once you click the small scenery icon, switch to the chain icon and paste the direct link to your picture there.

I use https://postimages.org/ to upload images. I’m not sure if it clears exif data so be aware of that.

Edit: They preserve it.

Do you keep or remove EXIF data from uploaded images?​

By default, Postimages keeps the original EXIF data embedded in your photos (such as camera model, date, or GPS location). If you prefer to remove this information for privacy reasons, you can enable EXIF data removal in your account settings. Anonymous uploads always keep their original EXIF data.

Well..
Thanks for the help. I set up a photo images account. Got the photos set up, made a post including the four pictures and the whole story with the new build. Tried to post it and it gave me an error message about my post containing quote "Spam like elements" or "Inappropriate content". So... I'm giving up for a bit. Took a while to write that post.

Thank you for your help! It did seem to work fine with the images so I greatly appreciate it!

I think a picture file has to be less than 1MB or so. Not sure of the actual limit.
