Brue, I downloaded the 'Photo and Picture Resizer' on to my phone and was experimenting with the maximum size I could use to upload to CT - my idea being that the maximum size permitted on CT would give the best quality when expanded. Using that particular app and the photos from my phone it appears the maximum size is 1600x900 landscape and 1280x2276 portrait.
These days I take most photos on my phone as it's easy. Now I have an easy means of converting them by using this app. When I have uploaded them to CT, I just then delete the one I have just reduced from my phone.
It seems to work for me, and it's quick.

This took me just between 1 and 2 minutes to do.....

Photo and Picture Resizer also tells you the Kb too. For uploading to CT you have to keep it below 500kb... this one is 466kb

I size them to 430 pixels wide and drag and drop them into a reply from a web site host in this case my own web site where I have created a repositery for files I might want to share. If you right click on the photo you can obtain info about the actual location.

If you reduce it to 500/600 pixels wide I think you would have more luck. I have recently inserted photos into both a discussion and a story using Chas's method using a split screen in Firefox and it works OK. However when I tried to load a photo of 1000 pixels wide it failed. I have given up on third party photo sharers like Photobucket and now upload my photos to my website so I can copy them across using the above method. I appreciate not everyone has a website to load photos to!!!

Thanks David. I have none of that fancy kit so will have to continue to send out tinies straight from the I-pad . Here's our sort of campsite at Sallanches in the Alps.

You don't have to resize them David as long as you advise readers to right click on the image and select "View image". It probable failed because of the total size rather than the dimensions. Reduce the jpg quality and it would probably load ok.

Good tip Peedee, it certainly gets over the need to have third party photo hosting like Photobucket. Just one tip, you do seem to have to copy the full size picture across rather than than from a group of photos. I found that if I copied from a group all I got was the URL.

PS it doesn't seem to resize automatically?

It doesn't resize the dimensions but does automatically reduce the jpg quality to something smaller than the original and seems to acceptable to CT. I am guessing whatever dimension you load to FB, it is not resized so you could load something about 500 pixels wide and it would drag and drop nicely into CT?

We're off to the Ardeche to rendezvous with our grandsons for a few days. here's a publicity photo from the campsite's webpage.
Drag and drop technique works on public webpages. That's not us by the way! Looking forward to a quiet few days!!

That looks a bit like us, nineteen years ago, when my eighteen year old son came with us with several of his friends, and we had three pup tents on our pitch - and lots of teenage girls, too! Different site, though, and we were still left with plenty of room - unlike those pitches!
