Adding photos

Post by Lazybird »

Can someone please explain how to add a photo to this forum from iPhone or iPad. If I press on the picture icon I get this come up: [img][img] with the cursor in the middle but then tapping the screen either moves the cursor or if paste does come up, nothing happens. This after copying the photo I want to add. Thanks

Thanks Jonathan. That inserts a picture but it comes out as a black screen! Original is a jpeg. It’s the post about a Giant Rapid in Complete Bikes For Sale.

Hmmm... are you sure that it's a JPEG and not an HEIC?

Could you also explain how to rotate the images (or link to foolproof guide).
Most of mine are OK, but every now and then they're not...

I suggest keeping everything else the same and trying a smaller file.
