How in the world do you post a picture from an IPhone

[Kerry Scarborough]

I have read through how to post a pic, it doesn’t work for me!! Can you post a pic from a phone or do you have to do it through a computer???

 

[bikerbillone]

I've never had much luck posting pictures on TT, but it can certainly can be done, others post pics all the time. I can easily send bitmoji's, pics, on email or text from my Iphone, but to TT forums???? I'm sitting here commenting from my desktop, so I suppose I could do the same from my Iphone, I'll have to try that sometime.

Test. I posted this on my iPhone. One thing that trips people up is that you have to make sure the picture is small enough.

 

[bikerbillone]

How small is that?

 

[FRR]

I've tried several times to post pics but have only had success a couple of times. Keep getting messages where the pic is too big or timed out or other things. I gave up

 

[Sidecarbill]

I'm completely illiterate when it comes to computers. But I read that on my ipad mini if I emailed a picture to myself it would automatically resize the pic. So I did then moved it back to my album. It worked don't know if will slill work but it worked then. If I'm really in a good mood to piss myself off maybe I'll try it later.:laugh:

Just emailed this pic of my wing trike from my photo album in my iPhone to myself and saved it and now posted it. When I emailed it l changed from original size to next smaller size. Also gonna sale this beautiful trike. If interested call 731-803-9078.

That sounds like a bunch of hassle to just post a pic. Especially if your a techno dummy

Deer protecting the garden. Just went out took this.

I normally transfer the pics from my phone to my laptop and go from there. I use the paint program in W7 to make the picture smaller.

 

[bikerbillone]

Ya lost me with W7....

Windows 7

 

[trike lady]

Windows7 I'm one of the holdouts. :clapping:

 

[bikerbillone]

:clapping: Oh my, why didn't I think of that? I've heard of some that wouldn't have it any other way. Sometimes (W10) drives me right up the wall and I long for the good old days.

 

[trike lady]

I'll be joining you soon with W10, I ordered a refurbished Toshiba laptop with it and its due in today by FedEx. I have another Toshiba laptop coming in next week that will be getting an install of Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE. I like to keep the operating systems in their own machines, I don't ever want to run a dual boot system again . I had a watchdog program in my computer that monitored the system.

 

[bikerbillone]

One boot system is trouble enough, some nerds enjoy the game, I'm not one of them. I've heard that Linus works, but I've never had the courage to try it, seems it's old school, an nothing wrong with old school.

 

[trike lady]

With the dual boot if you're not paying attention when the 'Grub Loader' appears you wind up not going into the os you want.

A stand alone machine is the best way to go about it, actually Linux Mint 18.3 is as close to W7 as you can get and just as easy to use. I'll be going with the 18.3 XFCE as it has all the stuff I need and then a wee bit more. Make a 'Live CD' of Mint and give it a try, it doesn't affect the OS that's in the machine already.

I think you'll really like Mint Val, I run it on my desktop and on my travelling laptop, I use Cinnamon for both of them.

 

[trike lady]

You're running the Cinnamon with all the bells and whistles. I wonder how that will run on an older laptop? I recently picked up on ebay a Toshiba Satellite L505-S6962 with 4 gigs of memory and a Core2Duo 2.10 Ghz and all it needs is a HDD. I've been told that the Cinnamon is the closest to W7. I may live CD run both versions.

Sounds like I'm being pointed in the right direction with Linux Mint. Next week this other laptop should be in.

Thank you. I have the feeling this will be good.

I find Trike Talk and the iPhone aren’t as compatible(?) or easy to use as some other forums.

 

[trike lady]

I tried reading the forums on a smart phone, never again too darn small.

An inexpensive laptop that can safely go on the internet, minimum of Windows7 or OSX 10.6.8. I recently acquired an inexpensive Windows10 machine. Your eyes will thank you.
