Personally, I am on the forum 90% of the time from a laptop pc, from my home office with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. I don't even try posting pics from my phone (and it's a S23 Galaxy).

A lot of images I post are hosted on my personal website, luckeycards.com.
If they are there I take the url and insert it where you would normally upload a picture. It works perfectly but sometimes I still need to resize them before posting.

When that happens-
I right click on images to save them to "my photos" . Then open them with MS Paint, downsize them appropriately and save. Then I can then upload them onto the forum.
This whole process takes about 2? minutes; less if I've had 2+ cups of coffee.

Nowadays, in the instant gratification environment we are in, anything more than 3 seconds is slow.

That said, anything less than 3 minutes is fast to this dinosaur.

**Young ones don't remember John Spencer's (hi Yoda) first iteration (circa 1997-8?) of this forum. They would go bat-shi$ crazy.

And a tintype...(not many ladies baseball tintypes out there...)
Whoa...cool tintype!!
