How to post a picture on BWE.

Copying this from a separate thread.

It is a very tricky process.

Here is how I do it.

1. I take a picture on my iPhone.

2. I pull up the picture on my iPhone screen from "all photos."

3. For some reason, some pictures get posted upside down on the site. All of Nic's pictures, for example, appear upside down. To remedy this, I do the following:
I rotate the picture completely around back to its upright position. I then click "Done" on my iPhone. This seems to take care of the problem of the picture eventually appearing upside down.

4. I email the picture to myself, selecting "medium" size.

5. Once it is in my email, I download the picture to my computer.

6. At this point, you have to click "post reply" in the BWE forum thread. ("Quick reply" will not allow you to post a picture.)

7. I then click "upload attachment."

8. I then click "choose file." This brings up my documents. I find my picture in my documents and click it. I then click "choose."

9. I then click "add the file" on the BWE site.

10. I then click "submit."

I know... It's crazy.

Thanks for the iPhone tip - Gail has the same problem sometimes. I just figured Nic was always on a trip to Antarctica.

If you do start a "quick reply", clicking "Preview" will also get the "Upload attachment" tab displayed.

Seems simple enough...maybe thats why I still don't post photos.

From an iPad, clicking "Choose File" in the "Upload Attachment " tab lets you choose between taking a photo, picking a photo stored on the iPad, or choosing a photo stored in your iCloud Drive.
