photo posting
Now that I have remarried after the death of my first wife 4 years ago I'm trying to figure out how to post my bird photos here. Not having any luck
yet. Any ideas?

Post directly if the size meets Nomad criteria of 342K
Otherwise use Postimage.com and choose 640x480 setting

It used to be easy for me but I'm trying to post a test photo both from Lightroom and email and the photo just bounces away? It's size is 255X241.

I store stuff (esp. photos) from my mailbox to Desktop (Mac OS Catalina) then download it to ImageBB. ImageBB generally sizes correctly and I make
to adjustments. Might take some experimenting.

I give pretty clear step by step on how to post photos here that are too big in file size to attach directly. No matter what method you use, please
respect Nomad's width limit of 800 pixels. On PostImages.org all you need to change before uploading there is the size choice, using the drop down
menu listed as "Do not resize..."
The instructions are at the first post of this forum... or here:
To post photos from your Pictures folder on your computer...
Go to www.Postimages.org, make an album if you want to organize your photos to find them easily in the future (by date or by subject). No cost to use
Postimages.org.
Change the upload setting from "Do not resize my image" to 640x480 (recommended for forums) or 800x600 (max. on Nomad). You click on the little arrow
to see the size choices.
Click "Choose images" and select the photos you want to put on Nomad from your Pictures folder.
Click on the image you want on Nomad and click on "Share" at the top of the screen.
Choose "Hotlinks for forums" (down next to the last one). You can click the little box at the right end of the link and it is now saved on your mouse.
Go to Nomad and paste that link onto the place where you are typing on Nomad. You can put text in below the photo for a caption or your post and if
you double space between photo links (for clarity), you can put several photos and captions in a single post on Nomad. You can click "Preview" on
Nomad to check and see how it will look before posting to the board.
If you need to fix a post after it is done, click on "Edit" along the edge of your post, and change or delete your post. If you edit more than once,
you can delete the previous Edited on tags so only one edit tag will appear after you edit the post.
Here is a photo of "Big Oly" using Postimages.org at 640 pixels:

Use postimage.org
It's the best site.

There is a bit of a learning curve with postimage but if I can do, you can too!
