I am working on getting the techs to make this more obvious and intuitive.

The good news is it works like gangbusters and deals with big photos plus it automatically generates thumbnails.

rcuniverse has lost loads of photos and valuable information from the past due to "glitches" and other changes.
I trust and use only http://postimg.org/my.php

I would say about 1/3 of the photos I post show up fine in thumbnail but squashed when opened. I rotate them 90 deg and then reload and although roatated 90deg they are no longer squashed. A real PITA. Seems like posting photos that display correctly shouldn't be so difficult.

Then about 1/3 of the time I can see the thumbnail but the photo won't display when I try to.

These issues are in my iPad and laptop.

I just tried to upload some of an event and got a token error. I don't even know what that is..... PLEASE take a page from RC Groups and do it that way. I can add 50 at a time easy and they aren't upside down or giving me errors!!

Thanks....

I did this one on my iMac but I normally just used my iPad for posting.....with the same result, and I never change anything on the photos...shoot and post, no crop no nothing.

I have a related issue, when I am trying to hotlink photos from my own server - this forum seems to copy the image and insert it in to the thread as an attachment. So I start with a nice big clear photo and it sucks it down to a glorified thumbnail that you can barely see. How can I stop the system doing that? at the moment the only way seems to be hotlinking from a facebook picture using Copy image location, but I store my build thread photos on my own server and not FB. Help?

I'm no expert, but all the photos I post are from my iPhone, this and other forums doesn't change them at all....previously I was using photoshop but that's only problems and my photos were rarely coming out right, sideways ect...

My main issued on this forum and this forum only, I rarely can see the photos on my iPad when I click on them I see a black page....I then have to click on download to be able to see them....maybe one day that will be fix

Not from any servers like photoshop free or not, so they are in my devices
