I want to share my envoy pics but can never figure out how to upload a pic from my phone. I select photo then select add file and it tells me photo is invalid. Would also lime to start a build thread but cant figure out how.
Please help :(

It is much easier to do it all from a computer. Posting photos are easy when using photobucket.com

I generally upload to photobucket through the mobile app then post from the app to the thread. Still gotta use the img tags but it's not bad at all.
There's also a tutorial for a lot of this stuff in the site news/suggestions section.

Or you could always own a domain to host everything and have your own vanity email like roadie.org.

:finger: LOL I've always been "new tech reluctant" (keeps the BP down) but I'll give'r a shot.
I just ordered Marks 3" suspension lift last night and was going to start a build thread of my own.

you can load the pics directly to the site if they aren't huge.
I usually open them in paint and re-size to 800X600 before uploading.

I use picshrink, it automatically resizes any photo I upload from my computer. Seems like a great little program.

It was so easy a caveman (or redneck) could do it. :excited:
