I've found this method useful.
1. Take photo using phone
2. Crop photo on phone, you don't have to crop anything out, doing this saves in a smaller file format (jpeg)
3. Upload cropped photo directly to

Looking forward to your pics

I'm still having to do more work than what it should be. Was your https an example, or do I insert that particular https before each picture I upload to my post reply?

I'm also having to manually type in IMG before my picture image link, and once the link is pasted in I have to manually type in
/IMG to finish it, I have to bracket the capital letters img in with [] too. Can't print it exactly here as it thinks I'm trying to upload computer talk into this message.

I know I'm close to figuring it out and it's just a few steps away with the help of my daughters too. We'll get it down yet, I have faith.

Does it matter if I'm using an iPad?

Good question. I'm using Android.
I used the link you posted for that specific image from your image host site. I did have to trim down the link code to what I posted above with your link, but the link I showed is after trimming, I pasted it in like that, & clicked 'embed'.
Probably the only part that would change with all images you have there would be the last part, the image filename. Maybe try changing to Desktop Site mode?

Thanks for all the help guys. Makes me feel better knowing I was not the only one having a problem figuring out pics. This thread really helped me out.

I have a really simple way for pics, may not be the easiest, or quickest but it works- I take them with my phone, tap on the pic and icon to email them to myself, phone is way to small for me to work with and you can't tell if they are any good until you see it on a big screen.
I enter gmail on my laptop or PC, DL pic and save to my Busse folder - There's a program every windows computer has, older than dirt, plain old "Paint" ~ I open them in paint, crop/resize, save it back to the same folder, same unique name I gave it when saving, it overwrites the original in a size the up-loader will accept - That's the cool thing about this forum package is you have pic storage so no need for having to use IMGUR but I sometimes put them there and will link them but not often, or can put them on FB and link them that way too. I can take a pic and have it up here in a few minutes using this approach. Clean and simple.
