iPhone Now Allows Choosing Picture Size When Posting

Post by algale »

All of us who post pictures to the forum have various ways of dealing with the size limitations imposed by the forum software. Generally, you need to use software to resize the photo, either an app if you are working from your phone or a program if working from your computer.

I recently noticed a new feature when posting from my iPhone. When selecting a photo to upload, the iPhone now prompts you to choose size. If you follow the prompt, the options are "Actual Size, Large, Medium, Small". I have found the medium size has worked perfectly to upload to the Forum and saves the additional step of opening another app to resize the photo and saving the resized photo before posting.

I'm not certain but I don't think this is a feature of the site software (unless it was recently updated) and I only noticed it after recently updating to the latest iPhone operating system

Unfortunately, when posting from the Mac, this is still not an option and I have to resize.

Here some screen shots showing the menus/options.
