Neil i have tried off my phone following advice to load pics so many times i lost heart. I managed to change my avatar once many years ago. But every time i try pics it always stops whilst uploading and says "loading of pics failed" if it was that easy why are so many of us ffs failing. maybe off a conputer it works but i do not have one. It seems a bit hit and miss depending on the device bring used to upload the pics. Sorry i snapped at you but it is not that we dont want to put pics on posts, irs because we have tried and failed and most probably because of the nature of uploading them does not work with the certain devices we use, ie phones. Also my minimum pixel on my phone is 10 megapixel so might be to large a file to upload. I tried seeing if i could minimise that on the pic but my phone cant do that. I am lost what else to do. I certainly aint buying a computer just for uploading pics thats for sure. Chris
