Question

posting images using the camera icon

Just an FYI for all y'all.  I notice that when I try to upload images that are larger or as large as the limit  (450px wide) it takes a year and a day (or doesn't work at all) If I resize them myself, they upload instantly.

    Command-Click on the thumbnail in your Mac Firefox browser to view the image in a new tab (or window, depending on your preferences) at full size and without the annoying zoom delay.

    Or just middle-click in Windows for the same.

    I didn't notice that problem before...

    (The image below didn't take long at all, and it's pretty dang big)

    Interesting. If I click that image in the forum, a smaller version appears. Clicking the link in the email though takes me to a browser tab with the image - with a magnifying glass where I can zoom in.

    SNAFU, as par for the course around these parts.

    The image I uploaded is 1968pxW × 3029pxH. The forum does what it must to fit it into the space allotted for the body of the message. What I don't understand is the resize dimensions.

    As it's displayed in the body of the message I measure 620pxW. When I click on it, and the smaller, borderless Javascript pop-out appears, the display is 420pxW.

    So what does that say about the accuracy of the statement at the bottom of the "Upload" window:

    "Also, please note that images larger then 450px wide or 600px tall will be scaled to fit those limits in your content."

    When you view it in a new tab ("View Image" in Firefox's contextual menu), it's resized to fit the window. That magnifying glass just un-resizes it to display the image at 100%.
