    The current version of the TZ app is broken and useless for posting pictures. Use the free version of the Tapatalk app or pay for Tapatalk Pro (as I do).

    P.S. Posts are easier to read when punctuation is used (especially full stops).

    Ah, right so that’s why all my images, which used to load well are now utter rubbish.
    But I thought the TZ app was taptalk?

    Yeah, but no, but.... The TZ app is based on the Tapatalk app/platform, but the TZ app has not been updated to be compliant with the latest versions of Tapatalk.

    This hosting site is pretty easy to use and recommended by others on here: https://postimages.org/

    I use my I phone to read and post text but always use the Mac for photos and host them at Flickr.

    No idea what the post above has to do with anything .

    I use Imgur for photo hosting - dead easy to use.

    Can you guys see this pic? I wasn’t sure if the host was somehow blocked as some people said they couldn’t see the pics on my sale thread:

    Imgur for me. Upload the pic to Imgur, resize if needed, copy the BB code and paste it in the message box.

    The easiest and quickest way i found was, if you're on Facebook messenger, send the picture to yourself, then right click and copy image address, then just paste the link here using the [IMG]link[/IMG] of course. Easy peasy

    This would be more convincing if I could actually see what you posted .

    Thanks, I think the pictures must have been deleted then in the sales thread I was referring to.

    I highly recommend https://imgbb.com - as soon as your upload completes, you get the img code right away. Very easy to use.

    Obviously I'd rather the forum software was updated - as an example I set up this forum (as an example to some students) in about 2 hours
    https://watchchat.co.uk/index.php

    TZ could do this really easily!!

    IMGbb looks like it allows resizing after uplaod which would be really useful. One to try this Friday.
    PostIMG does also but doesn't seem to work on my phone browser, and IMGur doesn't resize but works on my phone meaning posts on here are generally rather large.

    Bingo!

    Glad it worked, although I’m going to stick to Imgur.

    Head to https://imgbb.com/

    Grab the ‘BBcode’ link once your pic is uploaded and paste it in here

    Hi hope you’re well

    Can you only do this on the desktop site?
    I’m a member but can’t figure out how to get the BB code via mobile browser (iOS) or via the mobile app?

    Thanks in advance

    Just click the link and copy this:

    There’s really no excuse for using this software anymore.
