[phil Dean]

Yet again I cannot add pictures to my classified even tho I have disabled the add blockers. Any body got any suggestions.

Hi Phil

 although others will disagree I have found posting pics on the classifieds as nigh on impossible.  I did achieve it but the following day I could not remember the labyrinth

I went down to success.    Those that own the site know it is appalling  but do nothing.

sorry Chris I don't understand your answer

Hi Phil

keep the pic size down to about 100Kb - but that is not the answer

Phil - I take photos with my iphone 7, and than email them to myself  from the phone - when I press send on the phone, it asks me what size I want to send them so I choose the second smallest size ( in practice its not that small) and it then gets sent. I then download the resized photos from the email onto my download folder on my laptop.

When I'm loading a Classified, there is a section down the ad for photos under " New Photo" and underneath the heading there is a box which says "Media Manager", click on this and it opens up a a dotted line box into which I drag and drop the photo file from my download folder on my laptop - you can repeat the process for up to 5 photos but not at the same time - you have to go to "add another photo" each time - doing it this way, I never seem to have problems over file size and I use the same drag and drop process when putting photos into forum posts.

I'm a complete IT nerd so if I can do it, you should be able to - my phone is old and so is my laptop which runs windows 10

Hope this helps

cheers Rich C-R

That is the important bit.   Most phones save photos in HEIC format by default and you have to change settings to store them as  JPG
