How to post a picture..
Please note there be may some differences depending on the device, browser and operating system you are using. Images uploaded into a thread through IB's uploader now scale based on your device. The mobile template loads images smaller than 800px width and desktop scales to 1,000px width. They will grow to full size when clicked.
1. Start at the same place, by clicking the "Add Image" button in the editor.
2. You can drag & drop from a folder, open and browse to choose images, or just as always--add a URL.
3. The images will then upload to your album in the gallery, from which you can pull these images in the future for other threads.
In the upper right-hand corner, clicking "Reorder Images" will allow you to move your images around into the order you would like displayed in the thread.
Now we have images in the thread!

Scroll through the bottom and click on the images to add them
Choose your images, and click insert to add them into your post!

I'm a long time member and have posted many photos. Now, however, from my iPad, as soon as I hit the picture icon, my entire screen "grays" over and I am unable to proceed. I do not have this problem posting photos on any other sites, just this one. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I can't duplicate it on my Ipad using Chrome and the techs have looked at the problem. They feel it may be a permissions issue with the digital content settings in Chrome. I'll ask for another look by them, thank you for letting us know.

I don't use Chrome. It has never been on my iPad. I only use Safari. It has always worked before.
Please advise. Thanks.

That's great that you were able to duplicate the problem. Looking forward to hearing what the fix is.I tried uploading a picture from my Ipad via the mobile style and I'm still not able to upload. IB is aware and working to fix that. You should be able to upload a pic from your Iphone using the default mobile style. IB is well aware of the affect these bugs on the community and working to fix them. Thanks guys.

The photo uploads are broken when using the desktop theme on any iOS device. So your iPad will only be able to upload photos through the mobile style. They are working on a fix. You can access the mobile template via:

Also, IB has found that when folks hit "View Last Post" it jumps them to the bottom and any slight scrolling while you are typing a reply can submit the response to a related thread. The fix to turn off 'Related Threads' is coming soon as it is completing testing on Rennlist. I'll update this thread as the solutions are rolled out. Thank you for your patience.

I can't duplicate that, what style are you using? On the bottom left of every page is a drop down menu with style selections. Also, make sure you allow a few seconds for the pic app to load. Thanks.

Here is a temporary fix that I just used to upload from my Ipad. Log in via the Mobile Template linked below. Let me know if it works for you.

Hi! I noticed replying to a thread and adding pics, i can add a pic using the pic icon and it’ll give me an option to add pics from my device. But, on PM’s (private message) when i click on the pic icon it only gives me an option for a url and I can’t get images from my device. I’m using an iphone X.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes the new up loader does not work with PMs yet. Hopefully we will see that in the near future, thank you.

Hey Bob,
I’m having trouble uploading pics to my thread on my iOS device (phone) on the full site. It will put them into an album but not attach to my post. One of the exterior pics tries to load then just disappears. Going to try your link to the mobile site, but I would think that issue should have been resolved over a year later. Lmk

Posting pictures NOT working for me
I have tried multiple times to add pics to a post I have in the W212 forum, and tried here to (to this post). No luck. I am trying both the inline photos option and clicking advanced and then manage attachments --- and each and every time I am able to get the photos into the "upload photos" dialog (either by drag and drop or browsing to them), and I am even able to re-order the photos, BUT then when I click the upload button to process, I am back at my post with NO attachments or images. What gives? I am very familar with posting on varius other forums and adding images, and I have even tried multiple browsers here (Chrome and IE).
Also in looking at the details and screen shots of how to insert a pic in this thread, it does not seem to be consistent with what I see. The forum pops up an "Upload photos" dialog and all seems to work well, but to close this dialog the only method seems to be clicking the "Upload" button at the top right of the dialog and this puts me back to my post, but with NO images or attachments.
