    So, it seems to be a case of clicking on the 'Upload a file' button under the reply box, which will bring up the image screenshotted above, then select My Files, then navigate to wherever the photo is stored. This latter part is where it could be a bit of a pain as you need to know where your camera is saving photos to - most likely a folder called DCIM and then a subfolder within that (in my case, I believe it is called Camera) - but, if you have your photos set to save to an SD card you will need to choose that first.

      What file extension is your device set to save in? Are we talking about an S20 Ultra here or something?

        Then there will be a setting on the phone to have it save in .jpg or .jpeg - that sadly is an issue with the setup or software on your device and not the forum itself.

          Yes the forum is fine i think its neat

          The phone comes this way so many users would not understand how to go about optimising the image

          If you study your server logs you can find out just how often a user is told no.
          That way if its worth it you can update the error message to be more useful for some users on certain devices

          That sort of update would be one for @Webmaster to be honest, not us Admin - - we are merely the gofers that keep things ticking along day to day.

            I'm not that cute. I am the ugly one on the team - and the grumpy one.

                  I never tell other devs how to program a project
                  As they "don't like it up em"

                  Devs usually update their code only if the boss tells them to.

                  No. My phone only shoes the first three symbols. Something is masking the SD. I'll keep playing at it.

                  Thank you everyone!

                    Reminds me of the time I purchased a set of number plates. For a couple of weeks I drove around wondering why they were blue and not white/yellow. There was a transparent blue protective plastic covering over them - peeled it off and away you go. I remember feeling like a right plonker and vowed that day never to tell anyone - to save my blushes :oops:.
