Thread: Windy day

Glad that it turned out to be a good day for them. It was too windy for me yesterday!

Stormed here early and winds stayed. You are braver than me.

It will be 3 weeks before i have the chance to go again. Sorry no pics, my buddies dad took the fish.

U a brave man

Body of water I was on can't get rough enough to be unsafe. It was tough until after the storm went through then it wasn't to bad

I think some of us thought you were on the north end of Kentucky lake after reading your initial post.

Easiest way I know of is to download the Crappie.com app .... open it and go to whatever forum you want to post in .... hit the red arrow at the bottom right .... then you'll see a screen with an empty message area that says "Write a comment" which is where you type in your message .... and in the lower left of that area is a box that says "Photos, Files", which is what you touch to choose where you want the picture you're posting to come from.
You have three choices:
Camera .... if you want to take a picture right then & post it
Gallery .... if you have the picture already on the phone
Attachment .... an alternative way of posting a picture from your Gallery

Once you've typed in your message & picked out the picture/pictures you want in your post, then hit the black arrow at the top right corner to send it to this site.

BUT ..... you might want to experiment with those instructions, first, just to get the hang of it and see what the results are going to look like .... and you can do that on the Testing Area forum. You get to the Testing Area forum by first clicking on "More Forums" --- then on "Miscellaneous Forums". Doing your text/pictures experimenting on the Testing Area forum also shows you if the picture is going to come out in the correct orientation. This site doesn't always "understand" the orientation code of the pictures from some phones, and tries to correct the orientation of the picture by turning it 1/4 turn to the left, causing the picture to come out on the post sideways. The easiest way I've found to combat that (once my pics started coming out sideways) was to always take those pics with the phone turned 1/4 turn to my right. But that was back when I was using the Tapatalk app, and I haven't had that problem since I started using the Crappie.com app. I just put that explanation on here in case someone else is having the sideways picture problem, so they'd know how to fix that problem.

I'm no expert at this ... I just kept experimenting until I figured it out. Anyone having problems posting pics from an Android phone can PM me & I'll try and walk them thru the steps. Sorry, but I can't really help anyone with a iPhone.

Thanks. I'll give it a try
