Seems a bit "Nanny State" to me. If there are no pics and you're not sure, don't buy it. Pretty simple really
Ain’t broke, don’t fix. Leave it folks.

Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
I think the excuse for cannot upload pictures is a bit weak.
Go here
Not seeing something even with pics is a risk, basically you pays ya money and takes ya chances.
We've all been caught out, I know I have in the past but not on here

If people can't understand how to up load pics it obviously is a bit broken
A simple fix might be to have an idiot proof, 1 post locked sticky "how to post photo's" rather than the 4 page 55 post open current thread,
With another locked 1 post sticky in sales showing how to attach a sales photo, which I have suggested several times on 'contact us' without response
This has probably run its course now.
Fwiw, I've repeatedly tried posting pics on here using both local and hosted pics and never achieved it. I reckon it could be easier. I also reckon it probably depends on the device you use.
Anyways, we'll let it run til the end of the day and lock it down.

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

The software this runs on is over 15 years old and predates the iPhone. It’s had minor updates but a lot of the forums have moved on to be much more user friendly with modern technology.
