Steve reading these lines made me sad. I too used to surf here with an Android based mobile and Tapatalk. Web interface it's quite more complicated and make me want to upload less. To continue on your mobile you need a built in internet browser and a way to size down pictures. As others said you can send them to yourself or use an image sizing app. What works faster for me is to send them to my girlfriend via Viber and she sends them back to me. Most of these messaging apps compress the pics automatically upon sending and that does the trick.

Hope you'll find what's best for you soon my friend and we see you around more often than not.

Best,
Panos

Thanks, Panos. I'm writing via my computer now.

My phone has never been a problem. It's only because the FL has switched off Tapatalk. All was working perfectly before.

Been a while! Hope everyone is doing very well! Picking up the kid. Art, whiskey. Have a great day.

Hej guys.

I feel I'm so out of the loop. I cannot easily follow what's going on on the Lounge as Tapatalk has been de-cobbled. The FL site is far too cumbersome on my phone and computer to be easily able to reply and upload photos. I see others are able to, though. Am I missing something?

Just tried to upload a photo but, as always, when I do it via computer, it gets denied as too large.

Any help will be appreciated, otherwise if Tapatalk doesn't come back, it's goodbye to you all and thanks for the good times.

P.S. That photo was the only one to get through out of many.

That can't happen! One brexit is already more than enough, Steve. Using the fedora lounge on a computer takes a bit of doing, but once you get used to it, the rewards are that you get to see the beautiful hats on a large screen.
Here's my working method.
1. I take a selfie on my i-phone
2. I mail that picture to myself (the phone will ask in what size you want to mail it: don't pick the largest!)
3. I open my mailbox on my computer and download the pics i've sent myself
4. I open up the pics in a photo-editor to edit them (usually just colour correction), which prevents them from showing up sideways here.
5. I use the "upload a file" option when posting to find the picture(s) on my computer and add it to the post.

Once you get used to that working method, which is a bit of a roundabout admittedly, it works. And the lounge is worth it!

For the new hats it's more or less the same, except that those get taken with an actual camera and edited in photoshop, downsized (a lot!), renamed (no way to find them otherwise) and then uploaded.

Hey all!

Have a great day!

Helluva hat, John. There must be a sturgeon on that shirt somewhere.

Cool, cloudy and damp. A wool and leather day for my daily cigar.

Have a good Monday,

Very nice, Michael. The brim is back where it should be and that fancy ribbon is the icing.

I have never used TapaTalk and have no issues on the iphone or the desktop at work on the browser. I'm not sure if this will be the same for Android, but I put this little instruction sheet together to show how I use it.

1. When you are in the screen to post a new message, either before or after entering your text, select 'UPLOAD FILE'.

2. Your photo app will open and you can navigate to the album that you want to select.
Select the photo you want, or multiple photos at once.
At the bottom you will see the actual size. It seems 2MB is about the limit, so unless it is already a very small file
you then select 'Choose Image Size'.

3. You will then see a screen where you can select the size. Large is always small enough for me.

4. You will now see the new size at the bottom of the screen.
Select 'DONE' at the top.

5. After selecting 'Done' on that screen, you will be back at the forum page with the image showing
at the bottom of the box where you enter your message. Select 'Thumbnail' or 'Full Image'. I usually do Thumbnail, as it is still good size.

6. It will now be inserted into the message box. After entering your text and all your images select 'Post Reply'.

A tip for if your photos are showing sideways is to just slightly crop them in your photo app and it corrects the orientation.

It sounds more difficult than it is with it all listed out like this, but after you do it a few times it is second nature.
I do not find it cumbersome at all.

Excellent write up, Tim. I do not use my phone for the lounge (I hate looking at small screens), but that seems the way to go about it. I've done the same for posting from a desktop, which does involve several steps, but nothing impossible.

Great shot and cool hat (or vice versa), Rick.

Thanks Stefan!
If there is a sturgeon, you will know it by it's nice hat.

Personally, I'm going to settle on looking at the awesome hats. If Tapatalk gets resolved, then I'll post pictures again, otherwise I'm just as happy.

I love the simplicity of Tapatalk which is why I paid for the upgrade and I hope I get to use it again sometime.

Sad to see a lot of the members have trouble with posting recently. I hope they find a way to stick around. It takes a bit of doing to post here, but it's well worth it to be a part of this great community. I think Tim @Hagwood write an excellent instruction for posting from a phone here:
https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-hat-are-you-wearing-today.94860/page-1512#post-2638811
And just above this post I wrote a convoluted way to post from a desktop.
