Testing thread

[BattleshipBob]

Really getting both confused and annoyed at all this messing about. One last time before I give up

just tried again, pressed upload and take to my phones files, selected photo which seems to take ages. Yet again the photo is in a box on the left hand side. Box above photo saying, photo title and box below write something etc. Pressing this and that but the screen goes foggy .

not wasting my time further today, had a guts full folks

Almost there thanks Ian

[Ian M]

Your welcome Bob.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Almost there thanks Ian

Dont use the upload button Bob, you will not get the option to resize. Use the "Upload Attachment" button. That will give you the option to resize. Mike did a good post above on this thread which is helpful.

Many thanks Steve

Testing pic upload.


Yep works fine

[A_J_Rimmer]

Trying to figure out how to post photos using my image links from Postimage...



Okayyyyy so that worked - so why didn't it work in the on your bench thread....? It kept crashing and calling it a incorrect format.

[John]

What format was it?

[A_J_Rimmer]

Hi John - When I uploaded it to Postimage, it was a normal jpeg. Once I pasted the link into the image box, it either crashed and said page not responding or said the image was the wrong format (which is surprising given it's just a link).

Having posted this up - I tried again on the on the bench thread and it worked - so not sure what happened. Maybe I used the wrong link possibly. I've not had an issue with using postimage here before, so I assume it's me just getting used to the new system. I'll try a few more and see how I get on, so don't worry too much about it now.

Cheers and thanks for asking.

[A_J_Rimmer]

Just trying a direct upload rather than going through postimage - I seem to be having a lot of issues with them of late, so it might not be a problem this end.

Bit of a faff - I had to change the settings to stop it from thinking it was a URL... but it worked! I might do this in future as I'm finding the aforementioned Postimage a bit flaky.

[Ian M]

I gave up on image servers years ago. I upload from my PC. sort of....
Take the photo on smart phone, send them to one drive, Up load them from my PC then 'Clear space' sending the photo on my PC back to one drive. LOL. Not near as bad as it sounds.

[Andy T]

I do similar Ian, using Dropbox. Any photos I take automatically sync with my PC and tablet. I get 2.8GB free, so every now & then I clear out the folder to a backup one on my desktop.

Just Testing

Ive noticed this VB software has many more emojis then Xf and they are the same as my iPad.

Wondering if my iPad emojis can be seen by users of pc / android ?

here are some of the emojis entered from my iPad keyboard ⭐️😍😮🤨🤬🤮….can everyone see them?

[John]

Yes they do work, which means you can use 💩 which is also the face on my watch 😂

[Andy T]

I see them too. Not dead people, your emojis.

I tested Android above, so good to know it works both ways.😁
