It looks like one has to upload a video to a hosting site (e.g. YouTube) first. Is this correct? Thanks.
Probably takes up a few hundred KB of space per photoI'm surprised they allow photo uploads. How many is that? Like a few thousand a day? That's probably a few GB storage a day right there. Is there a time limit that they will be on the site?
Most photos I upload are a couple of MB.Probably takes up a few hundred KB of space per photo
The site morphs the photo into a smaller file size when it's uploaded. Go save one of the photos you uploaded in one of your posts and then look at the file size compared to the one you uploaded from your device.Most photos I upload are a couple of MB.
automatically resized and compressed.. why UOA screenshots arent legible sometimes.Most photos I upload are a couple of MB.
Correct, as video takes way too much storage space.It looks like one has to upload a video to a hosting site (e.g. YouTube) first. Is this correct? Thanks.
That wouldn't be much fun!I'm surprised they allow photo uploads.
Usually about 100/day.How many is that? Like a few thousand a day?

This and CloudFlare also compresses the files and stores several different sizes depending on the device type.The site morphs the photo into a smaller file size when it's uploaded.

You should scale your images. I scale mine to 1024x768 pixels because that keeps the file size reasonable (805Kb max for an 8-bit jpg, usually less due to compression). You can scale images in any photo editor. On an Android phone you can use an app called Image Size. I use an image host because I do not want to burden BITOG with having to host my images.Most photos I upload are a couple of MB.
I don't use the phone for taking pictures. I use a camera and whatever its set to and the photo averages 3-4 MB. I do have an image host and used that before the forums stored the pictures, but since I delete most photos from the host after a few months, they would also disappear from a forum post.You should scale your images.

I said use an image editor and I pointed out that you can scale an image on even a phone with scaling software. The picture does not have to be taken with a phone. You delete your pictures and complain they won't be around after you have deleted them. Okay?I don't use the phone for taking pictures.

You should let the site scale them and display the appropriate ones based on the device that's viewing it. When you scale it to 1024 x 768 and someone views it on a computer, that is a small picture by today's standards. Odds are those are the type that are larger in the post than when you click on them expecting to get a "full size" version (that ends up being smaller!).You should scale your images.
