Hello HydroPower I’ve got them on my iPad now but unsure how to add them to Overgrow any help here would be appreciated
Use upload button in Composer toolbar - Tap this icon 
It will bring up Upload dialog where you can upload photos from your device or from other website. Tap “Choose Files” button to make iOS offer you your iPad’s Gallery.
I don’t know what’s up with the uploading??? It just a keeps saying uploading 0% then saved.
You need to wait little bit more. Actually “saved” means only that draft of your post was saved…
Don’t hit reply until “Uploading…” is replaced by actual <img> tag.
If you have troubles uploading more images at once, try to upload them one by one.
It also can be issue of image size - then try to resize image to lower resolution before uploading.
For resizing (making image smaller) you can use free utilities:
- Irfanview for Windows

I am assuming most take photo’s etc with their phones and post here? Is this true? Is this a dead giveaway and it puts who you really are on everything? Quazay legal state here and i hope they dont care about my medicine
Fortunately, the good folks at OG scrub all of the data off every picture posted.
You, and most others, should be safe.

Exactly. We strip all metadata including EXIF from all uploaded files.

This is the exact reason I finally made an account here. Couldn’t trust making logs anywhere else. I like your style @LemonadeJoe

I’ve been trying lol says unable because of low memory. Anything you recommend? I tried lowering the quality by taking a screenshot but nope

“Low memory” doesn’t look like message from our server…
Are you able to upload somewhere else? e.g. www.imgur.com
You can then post the link…
P.S. don’t use screenshots… They are in PNG format and that is the worst choice when comes to photos. Every time use JPG for photos.

This happens on Android devices running Chrome or the built-in browser. Means just what it says phone doesnt have enough memory to pre-cache the upload.
I’ve found using a different browser like Firefox for Android to be a viable workaround.

Ok. This should be fun. Who wants to play " help the computer illiterate moron ( UPSTATE of course) again? I would like to upload a photo from my phone. Also would like to know how to get a pic from a digital camera to here. It may be hopeless. If it’s really complicated then forget it.

It says that I have no pictures or videos in my library when I try to upload an image.
Have to many programs and I barely have time to do what I do let alone having to resize & edit pictures just to post them.
What device are you using to upload?
That is not message from our site, probably your device or OS is informing you…
I see you have uploaded photo just fine the other day…
Ooops, sorry about that.
I’ve been using Snipping Tool all this time but I can change the setting to save as a jpg.
Will that be ok?

Yes, that is ok…
Snipping Tool (PNG / GIF) is good only for taking screenshots of running computer application, definitely not for photos.
png is fine for photos, way better than jpg imho, less artifacting at higher resolution and lower darkness levels
Please on your device use whatever you wish. If you don’t mind that your photos are occupying 10x more space.
tldr; But here on the internet, please use exclusively JPG for photos. Admins will thank you and so will users. There is a reason why all point and shoot cameras and SLRs use JPG.
PNG is lossless compression (that is why it doesn’t have any artifacts), and it is absolutely not proper format to share photos on the internet mainly because of its size (it is bad for the storage and bad for loading times). It is equivalent of using RAW format with SLR cameras.
JPG is lossy compression, but compression created for photos. Something like mp3 was for music. It optimizes size and doesn’t compromise quality.
99% professional photographers use JPGs.
JPEGs are for photographs and realistic images.
PNGs are for line art, text-heavy images, and images with few colors (e.g. application screenshots).
For everyone interested about learning different graphics formats, I link this guide:
Don’t use a PNG when…
You’re working with photos or artwork. Thanks to PNGs’ high color depth, the format can easily handle high resolution photos. However, because it is a lossless web format, file sizes tend to get very large. If you’re working with photos on the web, go with JPEG.
