I don't know why an iPhone would be doing that but I can't see how the site could be causing that.

When I upload from photos in iphone, I get 2 copies of each photo. Has happened the last 2 times.

You have to post on YouTube and then link to it.

You can use the YouTube buttons on the post screen when posting to make it appear on the site so it's not just a link, if you wish.

Example:
[youtube]https://Link to YouTube video[/youtube]
A video will appear if it's a valid link.

Can't find any topics on how to get videos onto Samba. Would like to be able to do that from my iMac.

OK, thanks Everett. That's exactly what I ended up doing.

You cannot replace an existing photo with another one.

You can delete it, if it was recently uploaded, in order to upload a corrected one.

Can I replace/exchange a photo once its posted to my gallery? I often load 10 photos at a time in the "add photo" function in the gallery. Once in a long while I mark a photo from my computer that has a similar title to the one I wanted but it's the unprocessed one. The description for it remains OK. I only notice the incorrect photo after I see it in my photos. Other than deleting the photo out of the 10-photo batch and adding the right one as a stand-alone, can I replace it with the intended one? I don't want to bother Everett B nor the pertinent forum or gallery moderator to correct my oversight.

[EverettB]

Feel free to email me the ones that don't work.
I will check them and try them from here to see if I can identify an issue.

I have been having trouble posting a few photos lately. They are all taken on a phone so size doesn't seem to be the issue and it's only a few photos out of the same batch that won't load. When I hit submit I get the following message:

"400 Bad Request"

It's odd that it's only a few photos and I can't figure out why they are different than the ones that load with no problem.

Thanks, DuncanS and Everett. I did not see a "jpg" in the photo's address. I also found the same photo in Alamy which I'm about to post on the Type 3 forum, using the simple method to right click on the photo itself and select "copy image address".

[EverettB]

[DuncanS]

Do you mean like this?

An imported screen shot.

Is it possible to add a photo from a copyrighted source such as Getty Images? I tried opening this photo in a separate tab, pasting its address to this response box with "img" surrounds, then deleting the address starting from the right going back to the "?" and without the "?". No clear results. Would be for the Type 3 vintage photos thread.

Right click on image itself for "copy image address": https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1224604943/photo/...wFPy7Xc6k=

https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/sing...popup=true

Pasting attempt with shortened address: [img]https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/singer-jay-walker-leaning-on-a-car-at-munich-germany-1960s-news-photo/1224604943?
[/img]

I know I could make a screen shot of the image, save it to my computer, size it per tS photo sizing, pixellate the watermark; then import that into my gallery. Quite a bit of activity for that.

Just another reason why I love this site! Thank you for the help, it worked! I have to do the screenshot trick as it saves those as jpegs and my regular phone camera saves them as ISO200's, whatever that is. Thanks again!

I'm not very savvy in this topic but emailing with Everett last night, I was helped enough to commit to some Google searching and figured out a way to deal with the issue that worked for my Galaxy s21.
I still have to take screenshots of my pictures and edit them to make it work but atleast I can post again.
Quite simple actually.

Thanks for the help!

I looked up the Galaxy phone and it looks like the newest ones take photos in HEIC format, which the site doesn't support at this time.

You can change it to default to JPG instead - maybe this will work.

Check your phone settings. I was having trouble with an iPhone and a Mac desktop. It turned out the phone camera was using an EISC system, whatever that means, and it wouldn't work. With tech help, the phone now uses JPEG and all is right with the world. Well there are still a couple of things not right, but at least I can post pictures.

I was one that emailed you about photo posting issues and you definitely helped me out. I'm still having issues with it though and again can't upload a photo. I'm not doing anything differently than I ever had before but the last three or four photos I've tried to post have taken at least five tries to get them to upload. I don't do anything differently when they do finally post, they just magically work. I have a galaxy too so maybe they recently changed something with the format of the photos that the samba doesn't like. Oh well, I'll follow this thread and see if anyone else has ideas about the problem.

Email me the photo so I can check it out.

It's not uploading at all - the link above is not a link to a photo.

For some reason there have been a couple people lately that emailed me pics and they wouldn't upload but I had no idea why.

I opened them and re-saved them and then they uploaded fine so there must have been something weird with the photo.
