1. Can better photo handling be added the downsizes photos uploaded automatically? If I try to post original photos from phone I always run into errors.

2. Can it be made easier to see if you have upvoted (liked?) a post in the f***m? At least in chrome the icons look identical if you have clicked or not. SO often I go to upvote a post and the number goes down - making me realized I already had liked it.

Jamieson22 When I add photos I actually email them to my self first, and on the iPhone it askes you what size you want to send, I figured that selecting medium works best.

If you don’t have an iPhone, someone will come along shortly.

I email pics to myself, save to my laptop, and post them from my downloads. I’m sure there is an easier way, but it works for me. I like using my laptop better anyway. Fat fingers on a little phone is a recipe for disaster

[Jamieson22]

HerbcoFood I do the same, just seems like a lot of hassle that could be avoided.

Jamieson22 Yeah, it is annoying, but at the same time I only using this f***m on the computer rather than the phone.

kyle I’m with you kyle. It may take a few more steps but it’s pretty much “bullet proof”. Works correctly every time.

Apologies… Couldn’t resist. ;). LOL

At the risk of jinxing myself here… I was using a photo resizer for a long time when using my phone for posting or transferring to laptop. For some reason it quit loading pics to this site. Decided to upload pics directly from my phone’s gallery and it worked. Now it uploads the pic and automatically resizes it. No idea why, but if it’s not broke…

I typically use my laptop when reading through the latest posts. Use the “Dumb” phone when I want to send pics. Another reason I use the laptop is because I’m sitting at the kitchen table chilling with a bourbon in hand!

PapaSop Recently, I just bring up the pic on the phone and resize it through the edit feature to 40% of original. No issues after using this procedure. Up to about 1 month ago, pics uploaded from gallery were autoresized. Now, the system does not. Thus, my new process.

I’m still able to upload and everything resizes. Weird.

[zbigjeff]

PapaSop Absolutely weird since on the 3 sites I’m a caretaker, electronics are usually consistent. This old boy cannot explain the variable.

Jamieson22 Both of those things are possible. I had someone turn off the auto downsizing as that was part of what was causing all the odd stretch stuff. Not sure how we would identify if you have upvoted a post or not. We could put some identifier like an underline or something underneath the # of upvotes on the #. Maybe we could do the highlight of the # if it’s you who upvoted it?
