2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

We can help with that if you like. Details will vary by phone, but basically you'll be (1) taking the photo, (2) reducing a copy to under 2.0 MB (megabyte) file size, and (3) uploading that copy into your post. None of this is hard, but it takes a little know-how.

What's your phone make and model? If a recent Samsung Android phone, I can help.
It's a new(ish) Samsung, my old one drowned last year when we dumped our canoe while running a rapid.

Here's one way to upload a single photo you've taken into a forum post in progress. Just confirmed it on my Samsung S25 Ultra.

Step 1. Open Gallery app, go to Camera folder, select photo to upload.

Step 2. Swipe up on photo to see file size in MB. Hit back to close photo info panel. If under 2.0 MB, skip to Step 6.

Step 3. Tap the pencil icon to edit the selected photo.

Step 4. Tap the 3-dot icon at upper right or lower right and choose Resize. If under 3 MB or so, 80% will probably be enough to get the photo file under 2.0 MB.

Step 5. Tap the 3-dot icon again and choose Save as Copy. The copy should now be in the gallery next to the original. Repeat Step 2 to confirm that it's under 2.0 MB now. If not, repeat Steps 3-5 till it is.

Step 6. Tap the 3-dot icon again with the downsized copy selected and choose Copy to Clipboard.

Step 7. Paste the photo into your forum post in progress.

Let me know if this does or doesn't work for you. There are ways to streamline the process to upload multiple photos.
