Thanks for the answers. However, I've tried uploading the photo directly and it was automatically resized as well.

Trying again directly from the device

Disregard

I copy/paste regularly from Hyatt press releases and that works. Have done so since years.

Why no support for HEIC images?

Actually we talked about this in the inter-vertical community meeting this week and the feature looks to be coming in a future releae (I believe this year)

So, a little confused...can you use the BBCODE IMG and /IMG tags in a post or not? I have a post all written up and want to copy and paste it into the Source. When I do that, all images (which are hosted on IMGUR) appear broken. When I attempt to upload an image to FT, the code looks the same but the image works:

If I put the BBCode directly in the source - this is the result:

I do not want to re-upload all of these photos to FT's albums.

Thanks in advance

I'm assuming this is related but I'm also seeing a bunch of 403s reported in the Developer console when I preview the potential post:

These images do resolve:

So I don't know why this javascript GET on the site is returning a 403

Imgur just really does not play nice with us, unfortunately. They used to, but they made a big change (the details of which are escaping me) recently and vB no likey.

well, good to know I was not doing anything stupid...ugh, so the only really option is to pull them down from IMGUR via the Image Upload tool? Any other potential workaround?

Test. I've never uploaded a pic in a FT post before. This came from one of my albums on my laptop. Now, how do I post a pic from my phone. It's a Galaxy A10e. Do I have to move the pic from my phone to my laptop first?
Thx

No, it can be done directly from the phone.

Click on the "photo" icon.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6638b1d1e3.jpg
Click on "From Device"

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6caf526775.jpg
Click on "Media Picker" or whatever the equivalent might be on your phone (mine is a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra)

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0676c64f13.jpg
Select the type of media. "Screenshot" in this example

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...19a5fc0a68.jpg
Check the images that you wish to upload and then click on "Select"

From this point on, the process is identical to uploading images from your computer.

Yummy

Thank you. Finally figured it out. :tu:

The last few weeks I've been unable to add images to my posts either by pasting in the edit box or uploading via "Advanced".

Is this a problem at my end, or has there been a change somewhere on FT? (Chrome browser on Windows 10)

While using an Android phone, I am unable to see the image upload icon when creating a post to a thread. Any ideas?

What's going on with uploading pictures?

It's now asking to upload from ALBUMS not from the gallery. (I don't have albums)

Not sure if this is an issue with my phone (Android) or with Flyertalk/vBulletin???

Edit: issue with FireFox ---> it works with Brave.

I try to upload a jpg picture with the "Go Advanced" option. I always get an upload error. No hint what went wrong or why I can't upload any pictures. I checked the data type, size of the file. All good on that side.

That's what I get

How large is the photo in MB? Does the photo stop at a certain percentage uploaded?

The photo was less than 1 MB. I never see a percentage bar or something similar. I'm not sure if it is an issue that I'm ussing Opera as Browser.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache? If not this will be worth trying.

I did this already. Even when I log in with a different browser same result. Doesn't matter it's Chrome, Opera or Firefox.

I did some analysis and found this:

I don't understand why I get here a forbidden (403). I think this produces the issue.

Is there any progress on this problem? I really would like to post pictures but it still doesn't work.

I'll open a tech ticket

Upload of file failed
 

I'm trying to upload an 800K jpg. Clearly, size is not an issue here but I keep getting the message "Upload of the file failed".

It seems this has been a common issue for a while. Have there been any recent updates on this issue?

I've tried using both Safari and Chrome on my Mac.

Try a non-Apple device, maybe? You're on a solid connection, correct?

Not reassuring that this was last commented on in summer of last year with no progress, but I have the same problem. Have tried multiple browsers, turning VPN off and on, triple-checked that file size is within limits. No matter what I do, I get "Upload of the file failed." I can't post photos anywhere on FT and it's really, really aggravating.

For me it works fine from my iPad:

But it stopped working on my Mac with FF about a week or so ago.

Is this seriously a mac thing? That's insane...

I just checked. I can upload photos via my phone, but I hate trying to write posts on my phone and I can't be the only one.

More than 99.9% of my posts over the past eight years have been by phone.

...okay? I didn't say everyone hates writing posts with their phone.

Anyone have any clue about how to get the issue with posting photos sorted? Is there anywhere to report the problem other than here?

Let's tag IBJoel and ask for feedback on that tech ticket opened in #64 ?

Im having the same issue. iPhone running on iOS 18. Im resizing the pictures to under 1500x2000, and using a photo editing app to make sure the file size is under 1,000 kb. Can’t upload pictures to FT no matter what browser I use on my phone.

I used to be able to post pictures directly from my iPhone.
